(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “Good for Mike Coffman.” That’s the first line of an August Denver Post editorial, and, as it turns out, it’s an excellent summation of the The Post editorial page’s singular stance toward Coffman over many years. I just finished reviewing five years of Post editorials mentioning Coffman, and, of the 43 editorials citing […]
As the Aurora Sentinel reports today, Democratic congressional candidate Morgan Carroll is out with a new TV spot, a shot directly at one of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s most controversial moments of verbal diarrhea–and by extension, whether incumbent GOP Rep. Mike Coffman likes it or not, her opponent: The gloves have officially come off in the […]
Mike Coffman really wants to talk about Donald Trump. This would seem counterintuitive as a political strategy, but Coffman’s re-election campaign seems convinced that continuing to talk about his support/non-support for Trump is somehow going to help him defeat Democrat Morgan Carroll in November. Mark Matthews of the Denver Post has the details on Coffman’s […]
Embattled GOP Rep. Mike Coffman’s re-election campaign in 2016 has been easily the most audacious triangulation off his own party that we’ve seen in his long political career–a reflection of the difficulty he faces remaining viable in ultra-swing CD-6 as Republican in the era of Donald Trump. Coffman has kicked the reinvention of his formerly hard-right political […]
(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 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On KNUS 710-AM yesterday, U.S. Rep. Ken Buck accused U.S. Senate Democrats of holding up funds to fight the Zika virus. Buck: “Senate Democrats filibustered that bill. They wanted more money for Planned Parenthood for abortions related to the Zika virus.” In fact, Senate Democrats did not want more money for […]
As Joey Bunch writes for the Denver Post today, the campaign for Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) is running a new radio ad attacking Democratic opponent Morgan Carroll for, um, having an occupation outside of politics. Coffman’s campaign is spending $45,000 on radio ads to deliver this message: “Search for yourself: Morgan Carroll, state senator… and Morgan Carroll, personal injury lawyer… […]
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 […]
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 […]
(Setting the record straight – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Reporters shouldn’t be fooled by Rep. Mike Coffman’s recycled attempts to paint his Democratic challanger Morgan Carroll as anti-immigrant. Coffman tried the same tactic in 2014 and failed. The point needs to be made in light of the Coffman’s campaign tweet last week that Carroll “supported […]
AP reports via CBS4 Denver, Rep. Mike Coffman is campaigning today with former Republican presidential candidate, briefly Ted Cruz’s vice-presidential candidate, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina: Coffman and the former CEO of Hewlett Packard are among the speakers at the Working Women Event & Panel at CSU Global Campus in Greenwood Village… Organizers say the […]
Republican Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence recently reaffirmed his support of efforts to make the English language the official language of the federal government. According to a press release issued this week by “ProEnglish”: ProEnglish Executive Director Sam Pimm recently attended an exclusive meeting with Vice-Presidential candidate Governor Mike Pence. Governor Pence is a longtime advocate of […]
UPDATE: For good measure, here’s a clip of Mike Coffman praising Tom Tancredo during the latter’s run for governor in 2010: Listen to the lavish praise from Coffman for Tancredo “standing up” to President Bush’s immigration reform attempts. And ask yourself how this could possibly be the same man vilifying Democrats today by likening them […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A couple weeks ago, former Rep. Tom Tancredo skewered Rep. Mike Coffman in his weekly Breitbart column, writing the “only thing authentic about [Coffman]vis his passionate desire to keep that House Member pin on his lapel.” In a subsequent KNUS radio interview with guest host Matt Dunn, Tancredo said, “as a […]
UPDATE: Cory Gardner reaffirms he’s all in in a statement today: —– Earlier today we noted that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) apparently announced his support of Donald Trump for President over the weekend. Like many Republicans, Gardner had been avoiding questions about his support for Trump — even though he was on record pledging to support the GOP nominee for […]
UPDATE #2: Check out this Colorado Springs Gazette story from the weekend–even Sen. Cory Gardner has drunk the proverbial Kool-Aid now: “That’s why I’m voting Republican up and down the ticket. A Republican president will make a difference, even a Republican president named Donald Trump,” said Gardner, who last year accomplished what Glenn hopes to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s difficult to write about what Rep. Mike Coffman actually believes these these days, because it’s so hard to sort out how he sounds like he’s changed from how he’s actually changed. So a tip of the hat to The Denver Post’s Joey Bunch, who did a good job sorting through […]
Colorado’s most vulnerable Republican incumbent in this crazy 2016 election season, Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, is without question our state’s greatest political survivalist. Few politicians in our state’s history have had their political constituencies as dramatically reshaped out from under them as Coffman, who was originally elected in 2008 to succeed the hard-right anti-immigrant firebrand […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is telling reporters again this week how he’s standing up for “vulnerable and underserved” people who need health care. But as they contemplate Coffman’s news release, reporters should recall that the Aurora Congressman voted six or seven times, depending on how you count, to defund Planned Parenthood. […]
August 8, 2016. Mark it down. History will record Monday as the moment when the full-scale revolt against Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump began in earnest. Trump had an absolutely terrible week of campaigning last week, causing collateral political damage across the country and here in Colorado as well. If Monday is any indication of how the rest […]
The Olympics are making lots of people think again about the Zika virus, and this, in turn, should give Rep. Mike Coffman a small slice of the media spotlight. In a June vote that was ignored by local reporters, the Aurora Republican backed a House GOP bill that actually factually aimed to block the United […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Joe R* has to go to the VA hospital for psychiatric care again – the third time this year. An obese middle-aged man with thick grey hair, Joe wears a Vietnam ballcap, sunglasses because he’s mostly blind, Tshirt, shorts, and flip-flops. He ‘s off his meds again, belligerent, paranoid, barely coherent. […]
Lots of discussion continuing today about last week’s ad from embattled GOP Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, in which Coffman declares he “doesn’t care much” for Donald Trump–an ad followed up by multiple news reports clarifying that no, it doesn’t mean Coffman won’t vote for Trump. At this point, Coffman’s ambiguity on the bottom-line question about […]
GOP Rep. Mike Coffman’s attempt to firewall himself from the rapidly self-immolating presidential campaign of his party’s nominee Donald Trump appears to have backfired to a far greater degree than either his campaign or conventional wisdom could have predicted. After a “soft launch” of Coffman’s new ad stating he “doesn’t care much” for Trump yesterday, […]
UPDATE #2: Annnnddd….then it gets so much worse: In a local cable/digital ad, @RepMikeCoffman distances himself from #Trump. So…who does he support? #copolitics pic.twitter.com/aMMZ3VgGOc — Marshall Zelinger (@7Marshall) August 4, 2016 —– UPDATE: Story now up from 9News: We followed up with Coffman on Thursday and found that’s not precisely the case. Instead, Coffman is walking a […]
