(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Given the repellent effect Trump has on election-deciding independent voters in Colorado, and failed U.S. Rep.

Politico’s Christian Vasquez reports: Susan Collins on Saturday became the latest Republican senator to criticize President Donald Trump for calling on foreign countries to investigate a political rival, saying he made a “big mistake.” “I thought the president made a big mistake by asking China to get involved in investigating a political opponent,” Collins said […]
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you are well aware that Sen.

Readers will recall a particularly memorable speech made by Republican Sen. Ray Scott of Grand Junction in the Colorado Senate this year during a debate over a bill requiring the state’s Air Quality Control Commission to collect additional data pertinent to climate change.
