It’s Still Donald Trump’s Party

And as The Hill reports, the former President could end the GOP as we know it with one weird trick: A majority of Republican voters said if former President Trump were to start a new political party they would likely join, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds. Sixty-four percent of registered Republican voters in the Jan. […]

Candidates to Lead CO Republican Party Embrace Election Conspiracy Theories

(Must read stuff – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Good news for the conspiracist wing of the Colorado Republican party: both candidates currently vying to replace Congressman Ken Buck as state GOP chair believe Denver-based Dominion Voting may have been responsible for election fraud, both in Colorado and across the nation.

How Do Republicans Solve Their Qaucus Problem?

Science Messes Up GOP Talking Points (Again)

Another Odd Day in the Republican Qaucus

UPDATE #2: This would seem to confirm that Rep. Boebert is indeed strolling around on the House floor with a handgun.

Cory Gardner’s Last Con Falls Apart

UPDATE: Politico reports that the Colorado delegation isn’t taking this adverse decision lying down: “This last-minute decision, based entirely on political expediency, will devastate our space capabilities,” [Rep.
