Dumbest Solution In Search Of Problem Ever Heads For Ballot

Colorado Public Radio’s Andrew Kenney reports, here’s an exciting new way Republicans have found to make differing groups of people who live in America dislike one another–which history has shown has a measurable effect on how Americans vote! The national group Citizen Voters has poured more than $1 million into an attempt to change a […]

The Next Abortion Ban: Telemedicine

A report from medical industry publication mHealth Intelligence discusses a new monkeywrench being thrown by Republicans into the gears of women’s reproductive rights–a ban on “telemedicine” physician appointments to prescribe abortion medications: A Congressman from Texas is seeking to make telemedicine abortions all but illegal in the US. Rep. Ron Wright’s new bill, HR 4395, […]

New Polling in New Hampshire Shows Same Four at Top

Last week we took note of a new poll from Quinnipiac University showing that the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination in Iowa appears to be centering on four candidates: Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg. According to new polling results out today from Quinnipiac, the battle for New Hampshire looks much […]

What Does This Even Mean? DougCo GOP Edition

We get forwarded all kinds of bizarre social media postings from both official and decidedly unofficial Republican Party mouthpieces (here’s looking at you, Tom Tancredo) some of which are straightforwardly offensive in any of the customary ways individuals on the fringes of the American political right offend the socially well-adjusted. Others, however, just leave us […]

Veterans Day Open Thread

Mike Coffman’s “Comeback” Marred By Frazier Lifeline

CBS4 Denver reports, as of this moment we still don’t technically know the winner of the extremely close race to be the next Mayor of the city of Aurora, coming down to just a few hundred votes with lots of procedural finger-pointing–and enough ballots waiting to be “cured” to at least hypothetically swing a race […]

Hick Ethics Complaint Careens Toward Nothingburger

SUNDAY UPDATE: Frank McNulty’s not going to like the Denver Post’s editorial bottom line: As Scott Gessler can tell you, all “scandals” are not created equal. —– As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports, the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission has released a fact-finding report on allegations in an ethics complaint against former Gov. John Hickenlooper […]

Warren Campaign Holding Its Fire

We ran across an interesting story in Politico today detailing a somewhat-unconventional communications strategy being employed by the campaign of Democratic Presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren. In short, Warren’s campaign is making a conscious decision to disengage from the standard practice of returning fire on all fronts: Her surrogates and campaign aides aren’t going on cable TV […]

Trump Torpedoes GOP Talking Points on Impeachment

It was two weeks ago that Republican Members of Congress stormed a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the basement of the Capitol in order to highlight their protest that impeachment investigations were unjust because hearings were held behind closed doors (nevermind that Republican members of these particular House committees were always able to attend […]

Caption This Photo: Cory Gardner at Trump’s Last Supper

Trump Really COULD Shoot Someone and Keep Support

President Trump infamously said that his base was so loyal that he “could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue” in New York City and not lose any support. Last month, one of Trump’s attorneys made an honest-to-goodness real legal argument that Trump could indeed shoot someone and not be prosecuted, but would his supporters really stick with […]

Liars vs. Nerds: So Much For Proposition CC

Williams’ Appointment as Trump Liaison Could Fire Up Already-Flaming GOP Chaos in El Paso County, Critics Say

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In what some are calling yet another utterly-dysfunctional move by the El Paso County Republican Party, which is already in chaos, an outspoken right-wing state legislator was selected last week to serve as a liaison between the Trump Campaign and Republicans in El Paso County, which has the most GOP voters […]

Sound Of GOP Silence As Trump Exits Paris Accords

UPDATE: While we wait to hear from Sen. Cory Gardner on the Paris Agreement, here’s a clip from a few years ago of Gardner positively going off at the Steamboat Institute over the liberal “war on coal.” Doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, does it? —– Michael Karlik of the Colorado Springs Gazette: On Monday, […]
