Sen. Larry Crowder’s K-K-Krazy Plagiarism Over Columbus Day

We were forwarded a lengthy Facebook rant from Republican Sen. Larry Crowder of Alamosa, who is most displeased with legislation moving through the Colorado General Assembly to rename Columbus Day in honor of Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini–a now-canonized Italian nun sent by the Pope Leo XIII to assist Italian immigrants to the United States, and […]

DfP in Colorado: Sanders 34%, Warren 20%, Pete/Bloomberg 14%

There’s been an unusual shortage of polling of the Democratic presidential primary race in Colorado with Super Tuesday now just a week away–so a new poll from Dem pollster Data For Progress is getting a rush of interest this afternoon: After his victory in the Nevada caucuses, Sanders is leading in Colorado and Virginia. Sanders […]

Gardner Says Bernie Sanders Doesn’t Like America

There was a time when Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was called a “happy warrior” who worked hard on creating the perception that he was a smiling, sunny, cheery politician. This persona served him well in 2014, when Gardner won a narrow victory over incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. These days, the “happy warrior” has […]

Colorado GOP Chairman Sponsors Bill To Punish Colorado

As originally reported earlier this month by Fox News, and we wanted to be sure to mention this before it slips down the memory hole: Republicans in the House and the Senate are introducing legislation that would block federal funds from states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses — the latest move in […]

Crank Is Thrilled that Gardner Isn’t a Susan Collins-Type Republican

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday, Colorado’s Cory Gardner, who’s one of the most vulnerable senators in November’s election, voted for two anti-abortion bills. Susan Collins of Maine, who’s equally vulnerable, voted for one of the anti-abortion bills–and against the other one. On impeachment, you saw the same pattern. Collins made the appearance of doing the […]

Cory’s “Liberal Heckler Antifa Asshole”-Free Tea Party “Town Hall”

Jimi Mack, President of the North Jeffco Tea Party, alerts us to an event last Saturday featuring one of the most infamously elusive politicians in Colorado political history–Sen. Cory Gardner, whose lack of public availability going into his uphill re-election campaign has been the subject of much unfavorable news coverage. The good news, says North […]

Cory Gardner Again Votes for Partial Abortion Ban

(“No threat to abortion rights” – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner voted today for two anti-choice bills, one to partially ban the procedure, the other requiring doctors to save the life of a baby born alive after an abortion. Both bills failed to pass in the U.S. Senate. The partial ban, called […]

Fox News Straight-Up Thieves Denver Post Story

They’re getting lazy over at the Fox News Channel, as a rightfully annoyed Alex Burness of the Denver Post calls out what would definitely meet our old college professors’ definition of plagiarism: Here’s @foxnews rephrasing (and actually just copying in certain areas) my entire story, nearly line-by-line, and incorrectly stating in the headline that the […]

Trump Wants Cold, Poor People to Fund Coronavirus Response

As Greg Sargent and Paul Waldman write for The Washington Post: The White House appears to have informed Democrats that they want to fund the emergency response in part by taking money from a program that funds low income home heating assistance. A document that the Trump administration sent to Congress, which we have seen, […]

Indecision Grips Colorado Democratic Primary Voters

Here’s the latest data for returned ballots in the swiftly upcoming March 3rd presidential primary from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold: With a week remaining in our state’s mail ballot primary, Republicans are well ahead of Democrats and unaffiliated voters. In one respect that isn’t unusual, since Republicans almost always see an initial surge […]

Cory-onavirus, Anyone? Turnabout Is Fair Play

UPDATE: With the Dow only down 900 points today, the stock market must be looking even better to President Donald Trump (see below)! Your mileage may vary. —– FLASHBACK: Here’s candidate Cory Gardner in 2014 concern-trolling the Ebola outbreak: GARDNER: Well, again, I think my problems with Senator Udall include the fact that he has […]

Paid Family Leave Goes Sideways: Just Pass a Damn Bill

TUESDAY UPDATE: The editorial board of The Denver Post shares similar sentiments: Why is that so concerning? It’s a symptom of the times where our political parties are discouraging compromise and favoring a my-way-or-the-highway mentality. The art of compromise is something that Colorado politicians are acclaimed for embracing and the last thing Coloradans should want is […]

Mayor of Palm Springs Has More Guts Than Cory Gardner

President Donald Trump’s more or less fact-free tirade against wind power in Colorado Springs Thursday evening, in which Trump claimed among other things that wind turbines are “all made in China and in Germany” despite the fact that Colorado has thousands of workers employed by wind turbine manufacturer Vestas in production plants across the state, […]

Trump Lies About Wind Power While Gardner, Tipton, Buck Cheer

A portion of President Donald Trump’s hour and forty minute rambling disquisition yesterday evening in Colorado Springs devoted to the subject of wind power is provoking considerable discussion today–not just for the extremely fact-challenged nature of Trump’s oft-repeated bogus complaints about wind energy, but also the Colorado Republicans who stood idly by clapping while Trump […]

Well, That Was Awkward

President Trump was in Colorado Springs on Thursday for a political rally focused mostly on himself and his various grievances (including the media and The Academy Awards), but also to help out Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) who demonstrated his allegiance earlier this month when he voted to acquit Trump on impeachment charges. Trump has been […]

Who Will Win the Nevada Caucuses?

Colorado’s near-neighbor Nevada weighs in on the 2020 Democratic Presidential race on Saturday, which means it’s time for us to once again ask your opinion. As with all of our totally non-scientific polls here at Colorado Pols, we want to know what you think will happen on Saturday — not who you support or what outcome you would […]

Trump Blows Gardner’s “Impartial” Veneer To Smithereens

Yesterday’s massive GOP rally at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, headlined by President Donald Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence, and front-and-center Sen. Cory Gardner, took one of the biggest variables in the 2020 elections in Colorado off the table. Gardner, down by double digits in the polls in a state strongly trending away from […]

Trump Squashes Intel That Russia is Trying to Get Him Re-Elected

With President Trump’s Colorado Springs visit getting so much attention on Thursday, you may have missed a bombshell story about Russia’s continuing efforts to meddle in American elections. As The New York Times reports: Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump […]

Warren Utterly Dominates Vegas Debate–What’s Next?

Although we are predominately concerned with Colorado politics in this space, our upcoming Super Tuesday date with destiny has all eyes in Colorado squarely focused on every development in the Democratic presidential primary–and last night, by all accounts, something dramatic happened at the Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas that could have far-reaching effects on […]

Cory Gardner is Feeling Blue

It appears that folks around the country are starting to understand that Colorado has moved from a purplish-color to a more robust shade of blue. Over at Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, Colorado’s 2020 U.S. Senate race has been changed from Toss-Up to Leans Democratic: The likely Democratic nominee, Hickenlooper, is not a perfect candidate, but […]

Vegas Prez Debate Open Thread

You gotta know when to hold ’em, and know when to fold ’em.

Colorado Springs Taxpayers Pay To Play MAGA

As the Colorado Springs Independent reports: [T]he Center for Public Integrity notes that Trump, who frequently frames himself as a champion of law enforcement, has left at least 10 cities holding the bill for nearly $1 million in public expenses, including police support, for his campaign events since 2016. But Trump’s campaign won’t have to […]
