Donald Trump and the recalled Jeffco school board: you won’t believe this

In 2015, I was proud to join my Jefferson County neighbors as we reclaimed our school board from far-right radicals who took control two years before. We literally made #JeffcoSchoolBoardHistory. After watching the school board attack the teachers and schools that make Jeffco one of the best places to raise a family in America, by […]

At Least He’s Not Your Governor

It’s time to return, once again, to one of our longest-running features on this site: At Least They’re Not Your Legislator. Today, we visit Maine, where Republican Gov. Paul LePage left a profanity-laced voicemail for a Democratic state senator and later challenged the man to a duel. Yes, a duel. With pistols and stuff. As CNN reports: […]

Buck Called Trump a “Fraud” But Now Says He’ll Vote for Him

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After once calling Donald Trump a “fraud,” and then remaining silent on the GOP presidential nominee for months, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck has now thrown his endorsment to the celebrity mogul. “What we have to do as Republicans, in my view, is we got to get Donald Trump elected, and then […]

Trump Shakes Up Campaign Staff (Again)

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump is falling rapidly in the polls and flailing wildly everywhere else, so it should come as little surprise that His Hairness is once again making major changes at the top of his campaign.

Coffman, Woods Missed Their Exit on Trump

August 8, 2016. Mark it down.

Republicans Try to Make Martyr of Ben the “Libertarian” Bachelor

The short-lived candidacy of Ben “The Bachelor” Higgins made for an interesting story last week, but it was not the kind of news that we thought we’d still be talking about today. Yet while Higgins’ official candidacy is finished after he withdrew from HD-4 last week, the conspiracy theories continue to grow. The GOP is working hard […]

Hickenlooper book doesn’t convey just how good journalism has been to him

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In his new autobiography, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper offers lots of kind thoughts about journalism, which has served him well, but he doesn’t give the Rocky Mountain News the credit it deserves for launching his political career. If you were around in 2003, you know that an early Rocky endorsement of […]

Colorado GOP Chair Praises Trump’s “Nationalist” Campaign

The United States is in a dark place at the moment: Rising gun violence. Mass shootings. Astonishingly vivid deaths of minorities at the hands of law enforcement officers. Targeted killings of police officers in Dallas. At the same time, we are in the midst of a Presidential campaign with a presumptive Republican nominee in Donald Trump who is often accused […]

Bernie Endorses Hillary

NBC News reporting, ranks in the Democratic Party have now officially closed with a strong endorsment from Bernie Sanders for presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton: Bernie Sanders officially endorsed Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, capping off a contentious presidential primary and solidifying the former secretary of state’s hold on the Democratic party. “I have come here to […]

Correction: Talk-radio host did not blame Obama and the “left” for the Dallas shootings

My goal is to report and comment on what people actually believe. I don’t want to report inaccuracies or “catch” talk-radio hosts or anybody saying something they did not mean to say. That’s why I usually tell people whom I interview or quote to call me if I get something wrong–or if they want to add […]

Denver Post Deletes Mike Coffman Quote About His Marriage in Archives

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Of all the crazy stories we heard last summer about the GOP efforts to depose Colorado Republican Party Chair Steve House, this snippet from the Washington Post’s Ben Terris was perhaps the most shocking. … House arrived the night of June 15 to find himself outnumbered — and on the defensive.

Colorado GOP Chairman Tries To Defend Trump (Badly)

A fascinating story from the Huffington Post about Republican congressional minor candidate Alex Beinstein. Beinstein’s primary run against incumbent GOP Rep. Scott Tipton didn’t count for much, but a subsequent exchange between himself and Colorado Republican Party chairman Steve House he revealed to the HuffPo could make Beinstein more famous than he ever was as a candidate: Alex […]
