We did an honest-to-Pete spit take when we saw this photo a short while ago from Westword’s Conor McCormick-Cavanagh: Just spotted this tour bus in the Globeville neighborhood pic.twitter.com/nFF5fX6rE5 — Conor McCormick-Cavanagh (@ConorMichael28) August 28, 2020 That’s right, folks–there is apparently a bus rolling through Denver today for something called the “I’m a Trumpster 2020 […]
As the Aurora Sentinel’s Grant Stringer reports: A former Aurora city lawmaker joined a coterie of ex-Republicans Thursday urging conservatives to ditch President Donald Trump and instead vote for Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in November. Former Aurora city Councilmember Barbara Cleland and former Arapahoe County Commissioner John Brackney — both longtime Republicans before […]
The Republican National Qonvention finally wrapped up a bizarre week on Thursday evening with the actual President of the United States accepting his party’s nomination for a second term from the South Lawn of the White House. In a rambling, hour-long listing of grievances speech, President Trump described a utopian America in which everything is […]
As the Republican National Convention got going this week, as readers know, Sen. Cory Gardner wasn’t in attendance–but in a remote interview with CBS4’s Shaun Boyd on Monday from his home in Yuma, Gardner still had plenty to say: “I’ve never spoken at a convention before and I don’t think anybody would want to listen […]
Justin Wingerter of The Denver Post has more on a long list of criminal offenses and general disregard for law enforcement associated with CO-3 Republican candidate Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert: Congressional candidate Lauren Boebert — who often espouses a pro-police, law-and-order message on the campaign trail — has been arrested and summonsed at least four times […]
Last night, CBS4 political reporter Shaun Boyd interviewed one of the leading figures in the Republican/Evangelical Christian alliance that has dominated Colorado Republican politics for decades with even more tenacity than the all-powerful gun lobby–Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute, the political machination arm of the extremely well-funded Colorado Christian University. If you didn’t […]

Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville announced his intention to file a lawsuit against Gov. Jared Polis’ statewide mask order over a month ago, and as the Denver Post’s Saja Hindi reports, Neville intends to file this week after a month of we have no reason to assume was not very successful fundraising: Colorado House […]
Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) is finishing up his seventh term in the House of Representatives. He will almost certainly be re-elected for an eighth term in November. Because CO-5 has long been centered in the conservative city of Colorado Springs, winning a Republican Primary is pretty much the whole enchilada (just like winning a […]
Chase Woodruff reports for Colorado Newsline, who we hope you’ve included in your daily news browsing: Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet and all 47 of his Democratic colleagues in the U.S. Senate are urging the removal of William Perry Pendley from his leadership post at the Bureau of Land Management, following the Trump administration’s decision to […]
Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is up with a new re-election ad today that probably won’t do much to alter his seemingly-inevitable path to defeat at the hands of former Gov. John Hickenloooper. Gardner’s latest TV spot, which you can view below, continues on his 2020 theme of commercials that are, frankly, pretty dumb. In this […]
As Jon Murray reports for The Denver Post: Noted: A PPP poll sponsored by @GiffordsCourage found @hickenlooper leading @CoryGardner 51%-42% (+9), with 7% undecided, among a sample of 731 voters. #copoliticshttps://t.co/BSzZdld5KT — Jon Murray (@JonMurray) August 25, 2020 These are pretty consistent numbers for Hickenlooper that track with what we’ve been hearing on the race.

AP reporting from oh-boisterous Boise! Angry, maskless spectators forced themselves into the Idaho House special session on the coronavirus pandemic Monday, shattering a glass door, rushing into the gallery that had limited seating because of the virus and forcing lawmakers to ask for calm in a crowd that included a man carrying an assault-style weapon… […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports on the continuing decline of Club 20–a Western Slope county-based boosterism group whose annual conference was once a regular stop for candidates in election years, but lost relevance as the group’s internal politics skewed right: The Democrat in the race for the 3rd Congressional District, Diane Mitsch […]

Two must-read related stories from the Denver Post’s Elizabeth Hernandez today about politically incendiary developments at the University of Colorado, which despite the state’s general leftward trajectory is controlled by a Republican majority Board of Regents–who recently appointed a highly controversial ex-GOP Congressman President to succeed retiring Republican kingpin President Bruce Benson. Under Benson’s term […]

And in November, we’ll have a choice: of another four years of incompetence, division, and chaos, or to come together in defense of our most essential shared values. This is a […]
UPDATE: On the subject of things that don’t exist at the RNC 2020, you can now include “a party platform.” The Republican Party stands for Trump…and that’s about it. Tim Alberta of POLITICO has more on how the Republican Party is no longer about anything: I decided to call Frank Luntz. Perhaps no person alive […]
UPDATE: Let the word go forth: “That is actually horse excrement.” 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark is referring to Cory Gardner’s pre-existing conditions bill (below), but t seems to us this could find its way into an awful lot of content. —– Friday evening, 9NEWS ran a “Truth Test” fact check of a recent ad from Chuck […]
UPDATE: Thanks, Jack: —– So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud! — Donald […]
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is facing a potential challenge to his caucus leadership thanks in part to the prevalence of QAnon-loving congressional candidates who are making rank-and-file Republicans more than a little bit nervous. Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene has gotten the ‘Q’ headlines recently, but the GOP’s Q troubles include Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert, the […]

Former GOP state Rep. Mark Hillman’s career in public office may have sputtered out in the bush leagues of the state legislature, but he continues to lob spitwads into the marketplace of ideas via whatever opportunities are afforded him by local media and sympathetic partisan outlets kind enough to republish him. Yesterday, Hillman wrote in […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast… We interview filmmaker Nick Rosen about his new Cardboard Cory documentary and check in with journalist Erik Maulbetsch of The Colorado Times Recorder about a QAnon rally in Denver. Also, we talk Kamala Harris as the VP pick; we find Sen. Cory Gardner writing empty bills and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) At about midnight four years ago, restauranteur Lauren Boebert, in her words, “turned too sharp,” and rolled her truck into a ditch near her home in Rifle, Colorado. She faced a careless driving and unsafe vehicle charges, and a court date was set for three months later. Not an uncommon slip-up […]
