A Denver Post Editor Disputes GOP Gubernatorial Candidate’s Claim that Post Has Decided Not to Endorse Polis

(Mitt Romney’s Nephew jumps the gun – Promoted by Colorado Pols) At a Sept. 9 campaign stop in Grand Junction, GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Robinson told the crowd that the “editor” of The Denver Post informed him that U.S. Rep Jared Polis (D-CO) is “too left” for Colorado, and that the unnamed editor “can’t see […]

Please Stop Calling Everything a “Town Hall”

Political rhetoric is inherently absurd. We understand this, and for the most part, we’re cool with it; after all, making simple things sound more interesting than they really are is a fundamental reason that this website even exists. But rhetorical devices are not the same thing as misappropriated terms, and in 2017 few terms have […]

Q2 Fundraising Lessons: The Wealthy Shall Inherit the Office

The numbers are in for the first big fundraising quarter of the 2018 election cycle, and like any important fundraising period, the results have provided both answers and questions for many campaigns. As we’ve said many times in this space, fundraising numbers are often a good barometer of the relative strength or weakness of a […]

What you can do to fight back this week (July 10)

We are winning the fight to protect Obamacare. In the last two weeks, Mitch McConnell and Cory Gardner’s campaign to dismantle health care reform and take away coverage from millions of Americans has begun to implode. Republican Senators are abandoning the effort in droves. Over the 4th of July recess, lawmakers who were brave enough […]

Pique With Williams Over Voter Data Gets Way Out of Hand

As Denver7’s Blair Miller reports, anger at Republican Secretary of State Wayne Williams over his praise for a dubious “voter fraud” commission President Donald Trump has established to investigate his equally dubious claims of “millions” of fraudulent votes cast in last year’s elections has teamed up with anger’s friend misinformation–to produce an outcome in a […]

Cory Gardner Talks Healthcare, and It Is Absolute Nonsense

Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner has been going out of his way to avoid talking about the Senate healthcare bill, even though he was part of the original “Group of 13” Senators charged with drafting the legislation. Gardner doesn’t meet with constituents and won’t provide substantive answers to the media about his position on the […]

Tipton Writes Medicaid Checks Trumpcare Won’t Cash

The Vail Daily’s Randy Wyrick reports on GOP Rep. Scott Tipton’s telephone town hall Monday evening: If you depend on Medicaid now, then Republican health insurance bills won’t change that, said Rep. Scott Tipton… Tipton said multiple times that anyone who qualified for Medicaid in the past will get to keep it under the Republican […]

What you can do to fight back this week (June 26)

For the third time since Donald Trump took office, Republicans in Washington are preparing for a vote on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take away health coverage from millions of Americans. Once again the progress our nation has made on health coverage is in danger, but something’s different this time around. […]

Cory Gardner’s Ceiling is Wayne Allard

Politics is no different than any other industry in the world in one regard: Everyone always wants to know about the “next” big thing. We all like to gaze at shiny new objects and project the next transcendent athlete or business leader or movie star. Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has been labeled a “rising star” by local and […]

Did Cory Gardner Get Played By Rodrigo Duterte? Answer: Yes

Stories in the Denver Post, two Denver television stations, and many other news outlets via the AP about Sen. Cory Gardner’s unannounced trip to Manila to visit with notorious Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte added up to one of the worst news cycles for Colorado’s junior Senator in recent memory. As Denver7’s Blair Miller reported last […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With scores of protesters outside the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs last week, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) told supporters inside the hotel of Trump’s “many accomplishments,” according to a Facebook post by Kelly Couey, a conservative activist who attended the event. He also wrote that Gardner was “very complimentary” of […]

Gardner Loves to Appear on Conservative Talk Radio But Not at Town Halls

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) hasn’t held a town hall meeting this year, but he’s graced the warm airwaves of 15 talk-radio shows, taking gentle questions from some of Colorado’s most conservative figures. For example, in February, March, and April, Gardner took time to chat with KNUS 710-AM’s Dan Caplis, a […]

What you can do to fight back this week (March 6)

For weeks, concerned citizens across Colorado and the nation have turned out in massive numbers to voice our concerns about the direction of our country under President Trump. This weekend, Trump’s supporters vowed a response. And it was a flop. Pro-Trump rallies failed across America to attract anything close to the crowds who have showed […]

With key votes looming, Coffman flips on the U.S. Senate filibuster rule

(Mike Coffman flip-flops once again – Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Coffman responded to Joey Bunch: Coffman: “My comment was referring to legislation where I could see that between 2013 and until recently, nothing was getting done in D.C., and that it would be better for the American people to hold the majority party in […]

Reporter does his best to find out if Gardner will hold town hall meeting

Fox 31 Denver’s Joe St. George made journalism proud today as he pressed U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) to answer the straight-forward question of whether he’d be hosting an in-person town hall meeting. But, exhibiting the same allergy to direct questions that Gardner’s had before, the junior senator from Colorado flat-out refused to answer the […]
