(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dan Caplis, a prominent Colorado Republican and conservative talk-radio host, denounced Mike Coffman’s latest TV ad this morning, saying on air that the ad “helps Hillary Clinton” and that Coffman must have “concluded in his mind and his heart and his conscience that Donald Trump cannot win.” Caplis, whose name has […]
UPDATE #4: 9NEWS’ Brandon Rittiman cuts to the chase, and, well… Write-up coming— Me: “Would you rule out supporting @realDonaldTrump for president?”@RepMikeCoffman: “No.”#COpolitics #9NEWS — Brandon Rittiman (@BrandonRittiman) August 4, 2016 So there you go, folks. A big fat sack of “I’m gonna have it both ways.” Here’s the story: “I don’t care for him […]
A fundraising email from Rep. Mike Coffman’s campaign today warns potential donors about the similarities between positions held by his Democratic opponent Morgan Carroll and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton: With Hillary Clinton visiting Colorado today, it’s a stark reminder that our opponent, Morgan Carroll, has yet to articulate a single policy difference on any issue […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After a paid television ad for Republican Rep. Mike Coffman has aired for several weeks claiming Coffman is “one of us” and “not like other Republicans,” ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, released a parody of Coffman’s “One of Us” ad to correct the record about what Mike […]
Congressman Mike Coffman has no idea what to do about Donald Trump. In any other election year, an incumbent Republican Congressman in a swing state wouldn’t give much thought to backing the Republican candidate for President. It is unusual, to say the least, for an incumbent Republican such as Coffman to repeatedly decline to explain […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, the Aurora Sentinel became the latest media outlet to point out that Rep. Mike Coffman’s spokeswoman told the Colorado Statesman in February that Coffman would “obviously” support Trump over Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Coffman originally endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for the GOP presidential nomination and has not […]
Fresh outrage is spreading nationwide after remarks by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, disparaging the parents of a dead American soldier who happen to be Muslim. As the New York Times reports: Donald J. Trump reeled on Sunday amid a sustained campaign of criticism by the parents of a Muslim American soldier killed by a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman has purged his official website of an article showing his support of the anti-LGBT “don’t-ask-don’t-tell” policy, which allowed gays to serve in the military only if they kept their sexual orientation secret. At least until June 14, Coffman’s “Media Center” section of his website displayed a Feb. 3, 2010, […]
Here’s a clip we didn’t want to get lost in the noise surrounding this week’s now-concluded Republican National Convention: Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, speaking at the American Unity Fund’s “Big Tent Brunch” Wednesday: While making an attempt to differentiate between her professional responsibilities as the state’s chief law enforcement officer and her personal views, […]
Tonight in Cleveland at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump will formally accept the GOP nomination for President (unless he doesn’t, which would be really interesting). Colorado Democrats aren’t waiting for Trump to make his intentions official to start lashing the GOP nominee — and his litany of questionable statements and policy ideas — to the side of […]
(Of course he did — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) joined House Republicans yesterday in approving a bill that would give federal cover to anyone who refuses to give, provide, or even facilitiate medical care. Among other things, the bill would provide legal protection for Catholic hospitals not to peform abortions. These and […]
(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. […]
A Denver Post article yesterday heralded the decision by Americans for Prosperity (AFP) to spend an undisclosed amount of money attacking Morgan Carroll, the Democrat challenging Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora), as a “big boost” for Coffman. But not necessarily. As ColoradoPols has pointed out, AFP’s right-wing agenda doesn’t square with the moderate image Coffman promotes of himself. […]
Roll Call’s Bill Clark via Twitter a short while ago, from an event for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) today on Capitol Hill: #puppies and @RepMikeCoffman today at the @ASPCA event at the Capitol today pic.twitter.com/OyqWhJFbD7 — Bill Clark (@billclarkphotos) July 6, 2016 Please help Rep. Mike Coffman express his enthusiasm, […]
The Washington Post has a story on Colorado’s pivotal CD-6 race that’s generating lots of conversation today: Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group backed by the Koch brothers, is launching a campaign Wednesday to aid the reelection bid of Colorado Republican Rep. Mike Coffman — the first time the group is devoting concerted grass-roots efforts […]
Here’s the debut ad from perennially embattled incumbent Rep. Mike Coffman, meant to re-introduce himself to the culturally diverse voters of the swing Sixth District. This ad features citizens from a range of ethnicities telling stories about how they met Mike Coffman: at an Ethiopian community fundraising event, as well as him being “very involved” in the […]
Patricia Mazzei of the Miami Herald reports on new legislation introduced by two vulnerable Republican members of Congress that would, in the extremely unlikely event that it were to pass the GOP-controlled House, protect children of illegal immigrants in the country since 2010 from deportation–similar to the failed DREAM Act. Miami Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo […]
We’ve been very excited about the work done over at Denver7’s Politifact Colorado project, working with the Pulitzer Prize-winning national Politifact to provide some desperately-needed critical thinking to the wild claims tossed back and forth by our local crop of prevaricating politicians. It’s yet more evidence of our bellwether swing-state status to see high-profile outfits like Politifact […]
(For the record – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Politicians like to trick us by hiding behind their spokespeople and then, if necessary, contradicting whatever their spokesperson said. Case in point: Mike Coffman. Yesterday Coffman put out a wishy washy statement about whether he’d support Donald Trump. But back in February, when Coffman himself was dodging […]
As released by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) yesterday, calling attention to an obscure but on-record signal of support from Rep. Mike Coffman for embattled Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump: With the acrimony in the Republican presidential primary reaching an all-time high, the remaining candidates have walked away from their respective pledges to support the […]
An email pitch from Democratic CD-6 challenger Morgan Carroll’s campaign today comes from a well-known Democratic member of Congress. And no, it’s not Nancy Pelosi: Morgan stands up for all Coloradans. Meanwhile, her Republican opponent spoke at a national conference for an anti-Muslim advocacy organization. And if that wasn’t enough, Morgan’s opponent refuses to reject […]
Rep. Mike Coffman is another year older, and it’s party time in la oficina: As always, thank Providence for the swift and merciless Twitters:
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Woods, who has said Trump is her second favorite presidential candidate, “liked” a Facebok post, sponsored by Numbers USA, which read: LIKE if you agree with Trump. Illegal aliens should not be awarded birthright citizenship! A graphic shows a photo of Trump with the text, “End Birthright Citizenship.” Trump’s immigration platform […]
Roll Call’s Nathan Gonzales looks at a fascinating convergence of swing congressional races and hotly competitive presidential general election battlegrounds setting up this year: It’s going to be hard for most House races to get any attention this year, with a competitive presidential race and the fight for control of the Senate. But a handful of […]
On the FOX Business Channel today, Rep. Mike Coffman unleashed a startling attack on President Barack Obama over the proposal to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba–the sort of rhetoric that has gotten Coffman in trouble previously in his career: Why do you think the President is picking this fight? “I think it’s probably […]
