After last week’s damaging story from The Guardian documenting what sure looks like a huge violation of Interior Secretary David Bernhardt’s promise to steer clear of conflicts of interest between his current position and his friends and former clients in the oil and gas industry–revelations that came courtesy of emails from Garfield County Commissioner Mike […]
UPDATE: More from the Huffington Post: —– “The true measure of a man is whether or not people prefer him in cardboard form.” — (Not) Socrates Cardboard Cory might not just be the most popular cardboard cutout in modern history — it might be the most popular version of Cory Gardner in existence […]
CBS News updates this weekend’s wacky Donald Trump news you’ve probably already heard, the President’s reported interest in exploding nuclear weapons inside hurricanes to break them up–now disputed as “fake news” by Trump: While dealing with an economic storm of his own while overseas at the G-7 summit, President Trump is disputing a report that […]
Here’s the scene forwarded to us from a short while ago today at the Pueblo State Fair Parade–a parade which witnessed the first-ever joint appearance by Sen. Cory Gardner and “Cardboard Cory,” a two-dimensional doppelganger who has served as a stand-in for Democrats and liberal activists calling out Gardner’s years-long lack of authentic public appearances […]
The decision by former Gov. John Hickenlooper to enter the race for U.S. Senate has stirred up some recognizable complaints about outside forces conspiring to foist a preferred candidate upon the masses in Colorado. Many of these are familiar arguments from familiar faces, but are they accurate? As Chase Woodruff wrote recently for Westword, any number of […]
UPDATE: [Sigh] From CNN: Stocks finished a volatile trading day sharply in the red Friday, after a selloff driven by President Donald Trump’s response to new retaliatory tariffs from China and Fed policy. —– Fans of the classic movie, “The Princess Bride,” are well aware of the warning that you should “never get involved in a […]
Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, who grew up in Rifle on Colorado’s Western Slope and worked at the powerful Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck law firm while swinging in and out the revolving door at the Interior Department between Republican presidencies, was confirmed over the dire warning from many who had worked with Bernhardt over […]
.@SenCoryGardner has done a fantastic job representing the people of Colorado. He really knows how to win. Strong on Crime, Borders & the 2nd A, Cory fights hard for our Military & Vets. John Hickenlooper is badly damaged after his horrible run for President. Big Primary trouble! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 23, 2019 […]
A Facebook post a couple of days ago from ex-Rep. Mark Waller of Colorado Springs, now a candidate for El Paso County DA, shines another unwelcome light into the fundraising tactics utilized by state and local Republican Party organizations: The practice of the local Party raising money on the backs of candidates isn’t new, but […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Congressman Mike Coffman, who’s now running to be mayor of Aurora, and U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) sound like they are opposed to a red flag law, but if you listen carefully, you’ll hear that neither is shutting the door completely on the policy, which would allow judges to order […]
We’ve remarked on many occasions about the ability of Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing whatsoever. Gardner’s ability to string together gibberish sentences in response to any serious question is, frankly, quite remarkable. Gardner is a true pablum professional, and he is really upping his game as […]
With this morning’s official entry by former Gov. John Hickenlooper into the Democratic U.S. Senate primary to challenge American’s Most Vulnerable Senator™ Cory Gardner, a full-court-press campaign by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) hoping to persuade Hickenlooper to stay out of the race via insider surrogates and ulterior motive-laden pundit hot takes has failed. […]
The Cardboard Cory Bus Tour is in the middle of a weeklong jaunt around Colorado. In multiple stops across the state (most recently in Ft. Collins and Greeley), the cardboard version of Gardner is attracting more attention than the real man himself. Some of this is because of a clever idea and effective organizing by […]
As the Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports, a federal court ruling today could result in historic changes to the role of presidential electors–a change giving them essentially the power to disregard the will of the electorate in choosing who to cast their Electoral College vote for: Colorado’s presidential electors do not have to vote for […]

CNN reports, and it deserves a mention in this space: Trump was speaking to the press in the Oval Office about two Democratic congresswomen barred from entering Israel over their involvement in the movement to end international support for the country because of its policies toward Palestinians. “Five years ago, the concept of even talking […]
The Denver Post’s Nic Garcia reports on a new poll from Emerson College showing a tight three-way race for Colorado’s Democratic presidential nod: Among the Democratic candidates, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who won Colorado’s 2016 caucus, leads with 26% support, according to the Emerson College poll released Tuesday. Former Vice President Joe Biden comes in […]
Some day there will be an entire generation of Coloradans who don’t remember a time when Greg Lopez was not a candidate for statewide office. The former Mayor of Parker ran for U.S. Senate in 2016 (he dropped out of the race before he could fail to make the Primary ballot) and sought the GOP nomination for […]
Video: @CoryGardner on background checks and guns and whether he would support HR 8. A new ad pressuring him by @GiffordsCourage is airing on Denver TV #copolitics #kdvr pic.twitter.com/FW3WiRkE50 — Joe St. George (@JoeStGeorge) August 20, 2019 Yesterday, Sen. Cory Gardner appeared at a fundraiser featuring former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, after which has […]
UPDATE: Kudos to Joe St. George of Fox 31 News, who specifically asked Gardner about why he is not informing the public about his whereabouts. —– Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley was in Colorado on Monday to headline a fundraiser for Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma), who faces a difficult re-election bid in 2020. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) During a recent stop in a Denver suburb, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) first bragged about getting a high bipartisanship ranking, and then he denounced the practice of simply sponsoring bills that have little or no hope of passage. That’s notable because his high bipartisanship ranking is based on co-sponsoring legislation […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican State House leader Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock) is walking back his claim that he went to the White House last year after the Parkland massacre and convinced Trump not to support red-flag legislation, which would allow guns to be confiscated by people deemed dangerous by a judge. “I can’t say […]
The Hill: President Trump alleged Monday that Google manipulated millions of voters into supporting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, saying the company “should be sued” in his latest attack on the tech giant. The president in a tweet referenced the work of a controversial psychologist who has claimed to have […]

As the Denver Post’s Sam Talabchnik reports: Colorado Democrats will get a chance to see U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in September when the freshman congresswoman headlines the annual Boulder County party fundraiser. Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will be joined by Rep. Joe Neguse, a Democrat from Lafayette, at the 44th annual Truman Dinner on Sept. 21 at […]
