As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reports–remember Republican Secretary of State candidate Tina Peters’ trip to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida earlier this month to watch the premiere of clown-right whacktivist Dinesh D’Souza’s pre-discredited conspiracy theory flick 2000 Mules? It was a tropical getaway paid for with campaign contributions: A finance report filed last week […]
This week in episode 109 of the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii recap the 2022 legislative session with House Speaker Alec Garnett.

Garnett also has some advice for […]
At Saturday’s Republican Rumble debates at Denver’s Grizzly Rose watering hole and events center, the scene of some excitement after Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams physically blocked CD-8 Republican candidate Lori Saine from joining her opponents on stage, organizers took some jeers for a backdrop banner with a painfully glaring typo: You’ve got to feel […]
The Colorado Springs Gazette has endorsed Hiedi Heidi Ganahl over Greg Lopez for Governor in the June 28th Republican Primary. How very (in) kind of them. It is not unexpected that the overtly Republican Gazette would back the establishment choice for Governor ahead of the June Primary; just last week the Gazette made a similar calculation in […]
We’re monitoring an intraparty spat that exploded into public view today between the Republican candidates running in the primary to compete in November for Colorado’s new CD-8 and their supporters, some of whom are set to meet tomorrow at Denver’s Grizzly Rose for debates featuring most of the big 2022 races called the “Republican Rumble.” […]

We made a slight, but significant, adjustment to “The Big Line” today. For the first time, we have Republican Greg Lopez as a slight favorite over Hiedi Heidi Ganahl in the Republican Primary for Governor. A lot of things can, and probably will, change in the coming weeks as June 28 draws nearer, but the […]
As the Fox News Channel’s Ronn Blitzer reports: The group that targeted Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., posting a nude video of him online, says they are next going to target another outspoken Republican member of Congress, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. American Muckrakers PAC relentlessly went after Cawthorn ahead of North Carolina GOP primary election that […]
9NEWS’ Kyle Clark reports on an audio recording of Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Lopez, speaking a few days ago to Republicans in the remote mining town of Silverton about his plan to put a stop of the GOP’s terminal slide in recent Colorado elections. The plan is simple, and we’ve heard variations of it proposed […]
Little-known businessman Joe O’Dea has been picking up Republican establishment endorsements lately as he tries to defeat State Rep. Ron Hanks in the June 28 Republican Primary for U.S. Senate. Smart Republicans know that O’Dea gives the GOP its only chance against incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, so they’re doing what they can to smooth […]
As posted to Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl’s Instagram a week ago, speaking to party faithful on a tour of southern points in the state: Look closely at the image displayed on screens beside Ganahl while she talks to voters: As you can see, the local party (It’s not clear whether this is Fremont or […]
The local ABC affiliate in North Carolina reporting tough news for a big name in the 2020 Republican MAGA Congressional class, as far-right Rep. Madison Cawthorn appears to be losing his bid for a sophomore term in Congress: U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn struggled Tuesday to hold on to his western North Carolina seat, facing a […]

Read our “Debate Diary” from last week’s SOS forum, and then vote below. Will Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina […]
The three Republican candidates for Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) took part in a candidate forum on Thursday, May 12. Republicans Tina Peters, Mike O’Donnell, and Pam Anderson met for what we believe to be the first time at the Foothills Republican Club in Jefferson County. Of course, we HAD to commemorate the event with […]
Colorado Newsline reports on the latest twist in the lawsuit from Secretary of State Jena Griswold against Elbert County Clerk Dallas Schroeder, who has admitting to making an unauthorized copy of a voting system’s hard drive due to unfounded suspicions that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. Unlike Mesa County Clerk Tina […]
Here’s a clip we were forwarded of a recent appearance by GOP U.S. Senate candidate Ron Hanks along with Secretary of State candidate Tina “OITNB” Peters and multimedia fringestravaganza Sherronna Bishop, talking about a poll that says 80% of readers of some such blog think Hanks is going to win the June 28th GOP primary: […]
UPDATE: Here’s conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who readers will recall endorsed Colorado GOP candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl with much fanfare recently: Here’s white Christian nationalist Charlie Kirk spouting #ReplacementTheory on his April 13 show.

Unless it’s Cinco de Mayo weekend and you want to be governor of Colorado! We haven’t seen a definitive report yet, but it’s our understanding that Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl was able to escape Civic Center Park after these photos were taken despite the odds! That’s a big relief since last August, in an […]
A feature-length story from Abigail Weinberg writing for Mother Jones published yesterday is getting a lot of attention on both sides of the aisle, an extremely damaging but also insightful look at freshman GOP scandal incubator Rep. Lauren Boebert’s background and rise to prominence as the owner of the Shooters’ Grill in Rifle. Ever since […]
