Donald Trump is Still His Own Consultant

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 […]

Congressman Coffman’s “Community” Challenge

(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. […]

Jeffco’s Ken Witt Stumps For Donald Trump: Yes, Really

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 […]

Everybody’s Trying So Hard To Save Mike Coffman

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 […]

Coffman Again Responds to Immigration Question with Non-Answer

(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 […]

Trump’s Love for Putin Problematic for Republicans like Coffman

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 […]

GOP Pollster: Wage Hike Finds Favor With Colorado Voters

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 […]

Tancredo recounts GOP arm-twisting in U.S. House

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. Joel Hefly, during the 2003 House debate on Medicare Part D, that Hefley would lose his chairmanship of a subcomittee if he didn’t vote for the measure. […]

¿Por qué? Coffman Oddly Declines Debate en Español

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 […]

Trump Immigration Speech Doesn’t Go So Well

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 […]

Polis: Fracking Fight Is Not Going Away

Via the Colorado Statesman’s David O. Williams, Rep. Jared Polis of Boulder responds to the failure of two statewide ballot measures to obtain enough petition signatures to qualify this year–one of which he financially supported: U.S. Rep. Jared Polis on Monday told The Colorado Statesman that the battle for greater local control over oil and gas […]

At Least He’s (Still) Not Your Governor

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. […]

Healthcare Reforms Must Include Abortion Care To Be Called ‘Universal’

(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 […]

The Key To Watching Trump’s Immigation Speech.

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 […]
