UPDATE: The Trump campaign is apparently considering asking New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to become Trump’s new “debate whisperer.” From CNN: Such a move — should it happen — would reflect an understanding by Trump and his campaign leadership that the first debate went poorly. That sentiment was expressed to CNN by multiple sources close to […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Every two years Democrats choose a challenger to go against Mike Coffman. Each time Mike has defeated these challengers in spite of real/perceived massive Democrat support. This year the Democrats sense there is an opportunity to finally achieve their goal because of the Trump candidacy and the consternation it has created. […]

We took note a few weeks ago of the gobsmacking announcement by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign that Ken Witt, the recalled ex-president of the Jefferson County Board of Education, has been selected as an “education co-chair.” Less than a year ago, as everyone with any knowledge of Colorado politics is well aware, Witt and his […]
The recent story of national conservative “astroturf” organizing behemoth Americans For Prosperity’s single-minded fixation with Colorado’s Sixth Congressional District, where the organization’s president Tim Phillips was personally knocking on doors last week with literature attacking incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman’s Democratic opponent Morgan Carroll, has made political outsiders more aware of something we’ve known for months: this […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins took a risk last week and tried figure out U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman’s stance on a very specific immigration issue. If you’re a reporter, you know that’s going to cause a serious headache before you start, because it’s so hard to sort out where Coffman stands […]

NBC news featured both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in a “Commander-in-Chief” televised townhall event on Wednesday. As Reuters reports, one of the bigger moments of the evening came when Trump heaped praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin: Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that Russia’s Vladimir Putin had been a better leader than U.S. President Barack Obama, as the Republican […]
“To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.” –Marcus Aurelius
As the Denver Business Journal’s Ed Sealover reports, polling numbers out from GOP-aligned Magellan Strategies spell good news for Amendment 70, the ballot measure to raise the state’s minimum wage–and bad news for Amendment 69, the ColoradoCare single-payer health insurance proposal: A constitutional amendment to raise Colorado’s minimum wage holds a 13-point lead in the […]
Earlier this year, former Rep. Tom Tancredo told KNUS 710-AM’s Peter Boyles the story of how Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert made it clear to fellow Republican Rep.

A press release from Morgan Carroll’s congressional campaign calls out Rep. Mike Coffman for something we didn’t think would be a problem–his declining to participate in a Spanish-language debate, something he hasn’t shied away from previously: Yesterday, Donald Trump and Mike Coffman both put to rest any lingering questions about whether or not they have […]
Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump delivered a much-anticipated speech in Phoenix Wednesday night that was intended to clarify his immigration reform policies. Trump’s did clear up some confusion about his immigration proposals…and that’s about the best thing we can say about his big speech. Here’s a rundown of the highlights lowlights of Trump’s speech, per the Washington Post: He declared that […]

Last week Maine Gov. Paul LePage made it into the regular Colorado Pols feature “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” Thanks to his incredible oratory skills, LePage is back again this week. As Camila Domonoske reports for NPR, LePage apparently still has room in his mouth for another foot: After leaving an obscene voicemail for a state legislator, Maine Gov. […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado’s mission is to protect abortion access and to oppose any and all attempts to limit it. In Colorado there is a 2016 ballot measure, Amendment 69, that has the good intention of universal healthcare, but a serious policy flaw that it cannot fund abortion care as written. While […]
Maybe Kellyanne Conway wasn’t paying attention to the Republican primary season and debates. How else to explain her recent lame attempts to minimize Trump’s pledge to deport all 11 million people in the USA illegally, by saying that Trump hasn’t even “mentioned” that pledge since November and in a couple of the debates. As if […]
