(Must almost be October – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In an apparent effort to give herself a nonpartisan shine, Suzanne Staiert, who’s running for a critical state senate seat in Arapahoe County, has scrubbed information about her partisan background from her campaign website. In one notable change in the last month, Staiert removed a statement […]
We’ll preface this opinion with all of the necessary clichés: It’s not over until the fat lady sings. The future isn’t carved in stone. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. These are all wise sayings, but Election Day is less than 40 days away. Mail ballots in Colorado start going out in two weeks. […]
Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, the Republican candidate for Congress in CO-3, is very comfortable in the role of right-wing provocateur. Boebert has the Fox News shtick figured out, and she knows her talking points…but she doesn’t quite seem to understand how those talking points are supposed to fit together. Boebert was a guest on Fox Business […]
(“Very, very loyal” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In an email to supporters this morning, U.S. Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky wrote that Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner will “likely be a key vote that gets [Trump’s Supreme Court] nominee across the finish line when she comes up for a vote.” Then McConnell asked for […]
Despite the best-laid plans of officials and the fervent hopes by all parties that it wouldn’t be a disaster, Jesse Paul at the Colorado Sun reports the return to class at the University of Colorado’s flagship Boulder campus has not gone well: The University of Colorado Boulder is moving to remote learning for at least […]
Ken Buck has it all figured out. Mostly. The Republican Congressman from Greeley, who also serves as the Chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, was a guest this week on the “Brian Kilmeade Show” on Fox News Radio. Buck told the talking muppet from Fox & Friends — whom Fox bills as “America’s receptive voice,” […]
(QAnon takes the ‘burbs! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Another Colorado Republican state legislative candidate has joined the ranks of public QAnon supporters. Over the summer Lynn Gerber, who is running for a senate seat in Jefferson County, posted a pair of conspiracy videos, one of which is QAnon-branded propaganda. QAnon conspiracist groups have grown […]

As the Glenwood Springs Post-Independent reported Friday, a recent fundraiser in Pitkin County for Republican CD-3 train wreck nominee Lauren Boebert did not obey the county’s required pandemic safety protocols, even though Boebert’s campaign had agreed to them in advance of the event: Prior to the Aug. 31 event at a home off Cemetery Lane […]
Denver7 follows up on Tuesday night’s disturbingly large “Stop the COVID Chaos” rally, headlined by GOP House Minority Leader Patrick Neville and fringe-right columnist Michelle Malkin and drew thousands of “anti-maskers” to Jefferson County’s Bandimere Speedway near Morrison: Video of the event left some people asking if the rally put people at risk. It showed […]
The Colorado Republican Party is going all-in on President Trump’s new narrative that everything you know and love has been destroyed because of Joe Biden and the Democrats. “Small businesses are being burned to the ground,” says a Colorado Republican Committee email. “Homes are under siege. Families are in danger.” Colorado Republicans are absolutely insisting that “this […]
My peanut butter, banana, honey, and Pueblo chile sandwich is complete! 2020 is about to get a whole lot better 🌶 pic.twitter.com/YRL1cS81t1 — Jared Polis (@jaredpolis) September 2, 2020 Pueblo chiles are the best, but hopefully we can all agree this gastronomical error is not the best way to prove it to New Mexico. Chalk […]
Photo by CD-7 GOP candidate Casper Stockham Photo by Randy Corporon WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Pretty close to an epidemiological worst-case scenario, reports Denver7: Thousands of supporters gathered at Bandimere speedway on Tuesday night, though they did not gather to watch racing. This, in many attendees’ words, was a peaceful protest. The Stop the COVID Chaos Rally […]
Here’s a clip from Fox News Channel prime-time propagandist Laura Ingraham’s interview of President Donald Trump, which aired last night. Although this video is being widely scrutinized today for its many baffling and outrageous moments, such as the “plane loaded with thugs” Trump claims evidence-free was headed to Washington to bust up his superspreader event […]

We don’t have to tell you that 2020 has been a very strange year filled with very odd news stories. It’s hard to get surprised by anything anymore, but sometimes it still happens. Like today, for example. As Justin Wingerter reports for The Denver Post, the Loveland-based National Foundation for Gun Rights (which is associated […]
As the Republican National Convention got going this week, as readers know, Sen. Cory Gardner wasn’t in attendance–but in a remote interview with CBS4’s Shaun Boyd on Monday from his home in Yuma, Gardner still had plenty to say: “I’ve never spoken at a convention before and I don’t think anybody would want to listen […]
Last night, CBS4 political reporter Shaun Boyd interviewed one of the leading figures in the Republican/Evangelical Christian alliance that has dominated Colorado Republican politics for decades with even more tenacity than the all-powerful gun lobby–Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute, the political machination arm of the extremely well-funded Colorado Christian University. If you didn’t […]
(Yikes – Promoted by Colorado Pols) A “Team Trump Bus” is touring northern Colorado today, and on it is John “TIG” Tiegen, who tweeted his unvarnished support for Kyle Rittenhouse, the Wisconsin teen accused of shooting three people at Wisconsin protests yesterday. Tiegen, who delivered Trump’s signatures Colorado’s Secretary of State’s office to qualify for […]

Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) is finishing up his seventh term in the House of Representatives. He will almost certainly be re-elected for an eighth term in November. Because CO-5 has long been centered in the conservative city of Colorado Springs, winning a Republican Primary is pretty much the whole enchilada (just like winning a […]

And in November, we’ll have a choice: of another four years of incompetence, division, and chaos, or to come together in defense of our most essential shared values. This is a […]
UPDATE: On the subject of things that don’t exist at the RNC 2020, you can now include “a party platform.” The Republican Party stands for Trump…and that’s about it. Tim Alberta of POLITICO has more on how the Republican Party is no longer about anything: I decided to call Frank Luntz. Perhaps no person alive […]
UPDATE #2: President Trump responds, sort of, to questions about why all of his top advisers keep facing criminal charges: NBC’s @GeoffRBennett: “Respectfully, sir, it’s not just Steve Bannon, it’s Roger Stone, it’s Michael Flynn, it’s Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen. What’s it say about your judgment—” Trump: “Well, I have no idea.” — […]
