ABC News reports, the parade of horribles making up President-elect Donald Trump’s prospective Cabinet took another wild turn yesterday: Sarah Palin is under consideration for secretary of veterans affairs, a close Palin aide and a top Donald Trump transition official told ABC News. The Palin aide said that Palin recently told Trump transition officials, “I […]
TPM’s Lauren Fox reports from today’s post-election meeting of the House Republican conference: It was the first full conference meeting in the wake of Trump’s stunning election win. Members had been back home, in their districts, trying carefully to balance their bombastic nominee with their own re-elections. In the end, it turned out Trump’s vision […]
Remember when Rep. Mike Coffman promised he would disclose who he voted for in the presidential election when ballots were delivered last month? Well, Coffman won his race, but the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee notes for the record: After speaking at an anti-Muslim hate group, embracing Trump’s hardline immigration plan in the final weeks of […]
Once upon a time… …Or on September 15, 2016, if we’re being specific, Congressman Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) promised to tell his constituents which candidate he would be choosing in the race for President. Here’s precisely what Coffman campaign spokesperson Cinamon Watson told the Denver Post for a story appearing on Sept. 15: “He plans on watching the debates and making […]
The story of Trump’s impact on down-ballot races Colorado is unfolding in front of us in the strangest ways, with Colorado Republicans going every which way when it comes to the mogul. A unique approach to Trump has been taken by Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Doty, who’s running against Democrat Daniel Kagan in a Cherry […]
We’ve written on numerous occasions in this space about the problems Republican politicians are facing with Donald Trump as the GOP nominee for President. Trump has demonstrated over the last year that he has the ability to engage and retain a loyal base of followers; he has millions of diehard supporters who view Trump as the leader […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Denver – Karen Middleton, Executive Director of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado, today issued the following statement about Rep. Mike Coffman’s response that he “doesn’t know” if Donald Trump is a sexual predator during the 9News debate Thursday night: “Mike Coffman said he doesn’t know if Donald Trump is a sexual predator. Colorado […]
For what should be our last Debate Diary of the 2016 election season, we’re taking you through what we’ve already speculated would be “The Most Pivotal Debate of 2016” in Colorado. The third and final televised debate in CO-6 between Democratic challenger Morgan Carroll and incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Coffman took place on Thursday evening and was televised live via 9News on Channel […]
UPDATE: Coffman’s hometown Aurora Sentinel is as flabbergasted by these remarks as everyone else: Congressman Mike Coffman may not know that what Donald Trump has done to women constitutes sexual assault, but we do. Women across Aurora and Colorado do. District attorneys across the country do. During a televised debate Thursday night on 9News TV, Coffman and his […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) 9News anchor Kyle Clark did an excellent job interviewing U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman Tuesday, and his Democratic challenger Morgan Carroll Monday, pressing them on a range of issues. On immigration, Clark asked Coffman what he’d propose for adult undocumented immigrants: Coffman: “As long as they haven’t violated criminal laws to give them […]
The final Presidential debate of 2016 takes place tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada. Republican Donald Trump, whose campaign has been in a seemingly-bottomless free-fall for the last two weeks, has one final chance to try to gain some positive momentum as he stares down Democrat Hillary Clinton on Primetime television. You could certainly make an argument that Trump is out of […]
Yesterday, 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark aired an in-depth interview with incumbent GOP Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora on a range of topics–chief among them being the upcoming election, in which Coffman has tried everything imaginable to escape the toxic cloud enveloping the Republican Party as Donald Trump leads them to increasingly likely ruin. You might think you […]
Newspaper endorsements do not carry the same weight with voters that they once did. Editorial language often gets so watered-down that readers must squint between the lines as much as focusing on the printed words. Endorsements can be so deferential to both candidates that the headline is the only real clue as to what message an editorial board […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) and Democratic state Sen. Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) took part in their first non-Spanish language debate on Wednesday, sponsored by Channel 4, Colorado Public Television (CPT) and KOA News Radio. Wednesday’s debate was live-streamed online, and the video is still available on YouTube, so we’re watching it ourselves and providing you the blow-by-blow details. […]
This weekend, the debate between Republican Rep. Mike Coffman and his Democratic opponent Morgan Carroll in Spanish aired after being taped on October 4th. Carroll’s campaign fired off a press release as the debate aired on Saturday that we suspect they could barely wait to send, because it’s a bit of a bombshell: Coffman Verbatim […]
SATURDAY UPDATE #2: The word of the day in Republican circles is “panic.” Top #copolitics GOP consultant: “It’s an absolute panic today,” worried it could get much worse. #coleg — Ernest Lee Luning (@eluning) October 8, 2016 Donald Trump pulls ads from Colorado, other battleground states https://t.co/hFSy3zbTEJ pic.twitter.com/XlWFntOslV — The Denver Post (@denverpost) October 8, 2016 […]
MIKE Coffman, you poor tormented soul Just read that Coffman is calling for Trump to step aside. Apparently ideas are unimportant to Mike. As an Arny veteran, as a Marine veteran, I would be astounded if Mike had not said similar things. But alas Mike has been defeated by words, fighting for ideas is too […]

Welcome back to the Colorado Pols Pol’s Pols’ Editorial Department, where we use letters to form words and occasionally words to form sentences. After reading the very strange Denver Post endorsement of Congressman Scott Tipton, we got to thinking: Could we write an endorsement of Mike Coffman that didn’t really endorse Mike Coffman? After asking ourselves that question, we […]
A couple of weeks ago, we took note of a mail piece sent to an Aurora household attacking Democratic CD-6 candidate Morgan Carroll for supposedly voting “to make it easier to sue doctors and nurses providing free services.” The mail piece’s citation for this accusation was a long unidentified URL on the Colorado state legislative […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday the lawsuit to stop the President’s Clean Power Plan from moving forward began its oral argument in the court. The Clean Power Plan (CPP) is the EPA rule that seeks to limit carbon pollution from power plants under the authority of the Clean Air Act. The lawsuit is backed by […]
(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. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo’s string of attacks against U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman raise questions again about what underlying principles motivate Coffman. Tancredo now says he doesn’t know if Coffman, a Republican from Aurora, has “any real set of principles” at all. But reporters haven’t really explored the question, about how […]
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 […]
Remember when GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz called Donald Trump “an horrific choice for this country,” a “pathological liar,” and “utterly amoral?” As CNN reports today, forget all that! Ted Cruz endorsed Donald Trump for the presidency Friday afternoon, a stunning turn of events after a contentious primary filled with nasty personal attacks and a dramatic […]
