New Questions about Trump Mental Fitness After Bizarre Monday Rally

Donald Trump might be running short on marbles. Vice President Kamala Harris has been urging Americans to take a closer look at rallies held by the Republican Presidential nominee — including last Friday’s appearance at the Gaylord Resort in Aurora, Colo. — to view firsthand how the 78-year-old meanders from topic to topic in exceedingly […]

So-Called “Patriot Front,” Or Maybe Feds, March Through Downtown Denver

On Saturday afternoon in downtown Denver, a band of somewhere around 50 men wearing face masks and the loosely matching uniforms of the fascist ultranationalist group Patriot Front arrived on RTD trains to march around the city protesting the “unrestricted and unmitigated invasion” of Colorado they presumably heard about from a Donald Trump stump speech. […]

Down The Darkest Rabbit Hole To A Place Trump Calls Aurora

The dust has settled in the extreme northern smidge of the city of Aurora next to Denver International Airport where ex-President Donald Trump held a rally Friday to promote his fictional narrative of the “takeover” of this Republican-controlled city of 400,000 by migrant gangs, to be followed shortly by the overrunning of the entire state […]

The Ballots are Coming! The Ballots are Coming!

The 2024 election is here! If you have signed up for BallotTrax, you might have already received an email and/or text message alert that your 2024 General Election ballot is on the way. If you haven’t signed up for BallotTrax, you can do that or confirm your voter registration info at GoVoteColorado.gov. You have plenty […]

Trump Calls His Own Bluff On Aurora

As the Aurora Sentinel reports, word broke late yesterday (H/T to the Colorado Times Recorder) that ex-President Donald Trump, having blown a self-imposed deadline to visit the city of Aurora, Colorado after adding the false tale of the city’s “takeover” by Venezuelan gang members to his stump speeches, will indeed make an appearance in Aurora […]

The Big Lie is Back, But it’s Really About 2024 Now

The 2024 election will conclude in less than a month. Naturally, Republicans across the country have decided to focus their attention on the 2020 election as they make their final pitch to voters. Questioning the results of the 2020 Presidential Election rushed back in a big way last week during the closing moments of the Vice […]

Trump Grows Aurora “Takeover” Fiction To Cover All Of Colorado

UPDATE: Gov. Jared Polis issued this statement welcoming Donald Trump to Colorado if he chooses to visit, but reminding Trump as a “convicted felon” to leave the “criminal elements that he brings with him” back in Washington: “Aurora is our third biggest city, over 400,000 people, it’s a terrific city, I was there last week. […]

What Coordinated Campaign? Colorado Republicans Face The Down-Ballot Abyss

We’re just 42 days away from the 2024 general election, and as Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland and Caitlyn Kim report, the divided Colorado Republican Party’s disorganization and lack of resources to assist candidates at any level this year is becoming a full-scale emergency–and despite the urgency with yet another looming catastrophe at the polls […]

The Big Line 2024: Ballot Measures

UPDATE: We’ve redone the graphic below to include the official titles of each of the (now) seven citizen measures that will appear on the General Election Ballot. We’ve also updated the odds as we see them. —– [Original Post: 8/27/24] The Big Line has been a staple on Colorado Pols since the site’s founding in […]

Walling Off New Mexico: It’s Now Really A Thing

As Albuquerque’s KRQE-TV reports, what was once a running joke with its origin in various flubs committed by Republican politicians attempting to address immigration on the southern U.S. border, sometimes forgetting or misstating the state of New Mexico’s status as a U.S. state, now appears to be a highly questionable reality as the state of […]

Gabe Evans Fires Psycho Racist Political Director, Raising All The Questions

UPDATE: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) calls out Gabe Evans’ continuing silence: After his political director was caught spewing conspiracy theories, racist and antisemitic rhetoric, and even called for political violence, Gabe Evans is refusing to denounce her disturbing rhetoric. The staffer has worked with Gabe Evans since his first run for state house […]

“Aurora Has Fallen”–Boebert, Gabe Evans Board The Crazy Tren

The election year-addled controversy over the supposed “takeover” of, depending on who you ask, nothing whatsoever, a couple of aging apartment buildings in Aurora, or the entire city of nearly 400,000 souls with the whole state of Colorado not far behind by a gang of Venezuelan migrants who allegedly arrived along with the 75,000 some-odd […]

Initiatives 50 and 108 are Officially Dead as Democrats Emerge Victorious

The wicked witch is dead. Both of them. As the Colorado Secretary of State’s office announced via press release this morning: Proponents of Proposed Initiative #50, “Voter Approval to Retain Additional Property Tax Revenue,” and Proposed Initiative #108, “Valuation for Assessments,” have withdrawn those measures from the 2024 General Election ballot. As a result, those […]

Boebert Challenged Vigorously In First Debate, Vows No More

Yesterday, quasi-incumbent carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert faced off against her Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese in a debate hosted by the Douglas County Economic Development Corporation and the conservative-leaning Colorado Springs Gazette. As we discussed last week, this debate was not broadcast on television and was not open to the public, severely limiting its value to […]

Bluff Called: Colorado Concern and Advance Colorado Fold on Property Tax Threats

UPDATE: What in the hell is the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce doing? Take a look at this from CPR’s Andy Kenney: We weren’t aware that the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce was involved in the mess known as Initiatives 50 and 108…so why are they getting involved now?   —– Lawmakers today kicked off the […]

Republican FINALLY Condemns Colorado GOP Hate Mail Sent On His Behalf

As the Durango Herald’s Reuben Schafir reports, the latest hate-filled email blast from the Colorado Republican Party ostensibly in support of a swing district Senate candidate is being condemned by the would-be beneficiary, Sen. Cleave Simpson, who says flat-out that the state party’s efforts on his behalf are hurting his campaign: State Sen. Cleave Simpson, […]

Gov. Polis Calls Special Legislative Session to Stop Bad Actors from Wrecking Colorado Economy

THURSDAY UPDATE: It’s official, Colorado lawmakers are headed back to class along with the kids later this August, with the goal of saving the state’s schools and local governments from the threat of two ill-advised far-right ballot measures: Colorado Public Radio reports Gov. Jared Polis won’t be signing any compromise without confirmation that controversial Initiatives […]

Longstanding Colorado Capitol Ban on Political Apparel Falls

As Hannah Metzger reports for Westword, former Centennial Institute director turned right-wing radio host Jeff Hunt has struck a blow for political expression inside the Colorado Capitol building, forcing a rule change to allow spectators in the House and Senate galleries to wear their viewpoint on their literal sleeves: Seventeen months after Jeff Hunt was […]

Trump Trips Up His Own Campaign Bashing Colorado’s Mail Ballots

On Saturday, ex-President Donald Trump dipped into and out of Aspen for a fundraiser hosted by a group of typically Aspen ultra-rich types at a location outside the town mere mortals were not allowed anywhere near. There were reportedly a few small groups of both protesters and supporters along the road from Pitkin County Airport, […]

Anti-Trans Ballot Measures Fail To Collect Enough Signatures

As of Friday, as the Colorado Times Recorder’s James O’Rourke reported, everything was supposedly on glide slope for supporters of two anti-transgender ballot measures to turn in their signatures to qualify for the November ballot today: Earlier this year, activists from the Protect Kids Colorado coalition submitted numerous different ballot initiatives intended to target the […]

Dave Williams’ Foes Head Back To Court As “Calvinball” Drama Continues

Keeping tabs on the ongoing feud between dug-in Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave Williams and the growing number of nominal fellow Republicans determined to oust Williams from his position over a lengthy list of moral and fiduciary misdeeds, Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports that the county-level officials who tried and […]

Abortion Rights: What “Leave it Up to the States” Really Means

The issue of abortion rights has been a real problem for Republicans since the June 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade that removed federal protections for the procedure. Since that decision, voters in every state that have had an opportunity to vote on the issue — including beet-red states such as Kansas — have overwhelmingly […]

After Calling on His Party’s Leadership to Resign, Will Evans Disavow Their Support?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Last Friday Republican congressional candidate Gabe Evans publicly called on his own state party chair to resign, and for the party’s central committee to vote him out if he refused to step down. GOP calls for Williams to step down boiled over last month […]

Initiatives 50 and 108 Falling Apart Amid Basic Scrutiny

In the waning days of the 2024 legislative session in Colorado, both Democrats and Republicans came together on a property tax reduction bill to help Colorado families. This bipartisan group believed that SB24-233 would have the side benefit of preventing two different property tax measures from appearing on the November ballot. A Big Business-aligned group […]

J.D. Vance Really, Really Not Going Over Well

Newsweek reports that GOP freshman Sen. J.D. Vance has by all accounts had a historically bad launch as Donald Trump’s running mate, with polls since the end of the Republican National Convention last week showing that Vance is the least popular vice presidential pick from either party in over 40 years: The Ohio senator’s net […]
