Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland: It turns out Gov. John Hickenlooper isn’t the only Colorado Democrat with his eye on the White House. U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet is considering a presidential bid, according to three people who confirmed to CPR News that they talked with him about it earlier this fall. The individuals declined to […]
UPDATE: Walker Stapleton, a close family member, reflects on the passing of President George H. W. Bush: Our Country has lost a hero and I have lost my North Star. Some of my earliest memories include fishing with him while sharing 44 years of love and laughs. His selfless kindness towards others regardless of background […]

Caption it real good. It could be the defining image of 2018.
(Going full Trump – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Apparently referring to information he received during a classified senate briefing, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner is directly questioning the CIA’s widely reported conclusion that Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman knew about the plot to kill journalist journalist Jamal Khashoggi. “Well, I would be careful of what the […]
As NBC News explains, the number of uninsured children in the United States is rising for the first time in a decade: After years of steady decline, the number of U.S. children without health insurance rose by 276,000 in 2017, according to a Georgetown University report released Thursday. While not a big jump statistically — the […]
CBS News reports on yesterday’s vote in the U.S. Senate, delivering a rebuke to President Donald Trump over his blind support for Saudi Arabia in the wake of the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by voting to end military support for that nation’s war in neighboring Yemen: The bill proposed by Sens. Bernie […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a recent Colorado Public Radio interview, host Ryan Warner told Gov. John Hickenlooper that Jeff Hays, Colorado’s Republican Party leader, likened Democrats to pigs who will over-indulge (pass unpopular legislation) and then become fat hogs who will get slaughtered (thrown out of office by voters). Warner quoted Hays as saying: […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The chair of a large Trump-backing organization hopped on conservative KNUS radio yesterday and warned U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) that he’d better put an even tighter embrace around Trump. “I think he’d better start supporting the President’s issues when it comes to border security, and fighting against illegal immigration, and […]
With Democrats about to take charge of the governor’s office, the statewide offices of treasurer, attorney general, and secretary of state, and in full control of both chambers of the Colorado General Assembly, the narrative from defeated Republicans has shifted to dire warnings of the “overreach” in store from Democrats without a Republican majority somewhere […]
It’s not just you; the 2018 election may actually never end. As CNN reports, Democrats have picked up two more seats in Congress: Democrat Xochitl Torres Small has defeated Republican Yvette Herrell in one of the nation’s last outstanding House races, New Mexico’s secretary of state certified Tuesday morning. The official result brings the total […]
Walker Stapleton, the Republican nominee for governor of Colorado who lost this year’s election by over 10 points, was a candidate who never seemed quite comfortable in his own skin on the campaign trail. It was a running gag during the campaign among Democrats to share the worst possible photos of Stapleton, which was easy […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland reports on a fresh controversy brewing in the Colorado Senate that has its roots in last year’s revelations of widespread sexual harassment by members of that body, most prominently Republican Sen. Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulphur Springs: The nonpartisan administrative head of the Colorado Senate who played a central role […]
The New York Times’ Carl Hulse put out a marrowy story Sunday recapping the political aftereffects of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court–both as they played out in the recent midterm elections, and looking ahead to 2020: Republicans saw the poisonous fight over Brett M. Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation as pure gold in the […]
Following the Democratic retaking of the U.S. House this month, speculation over a possible battle for the new Speaker of the House quickly became a hot topic for both victorious Democrats and defeated Republicans. Nancy Pelosi’s return to the post of Speaker was by no means a foregone conclusion, but in the intervening weeks Pelosi […]
The Washington Post reports on the final U.S. Senate race of 2018 in Mississippi’s runoff election, which is also the last battle of Sen. Cory Gardner’s stormy term as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). And there’s a lot riding on the outcome: For Republicans, the Nov. 27 runoff is a chance for […]
(Stand by your man – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Neither the recent election results nor Trump’s ongoing controversies have prompted Colorado Republicans to reconsider their plan to place a portrait of Trump in Colorado’s Capitol rotunda. The Denver Post’s Anna Staver reported last week that Republican State Senate President Kevin Grantham of Canon City hopes […]
(Always with the “secession” talk — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In response to Democratic gains in this month’s election, State Sen. John Cooke (R-Greeley) now thinks Weld County has “a lot more in common with Wyoming than Boulder” and therefore should cut ties with Colorado and “join Wyoming.” Republicans in northern Colorado first floated the […]

LAST UPDATE: November 2, 2020 PRESIDENT (To Win Colorado) (D) Joe Biden (90%)↑ Will Biden carry Colorado by double digits? That’s the real question. (R) Donald Trump* (10%)↓ Trump […]
The Washington Post has an interesting story up today about the drag of President Trump on Republicans in 2018 and 2020. The gist of the story, which features Colorado as a prominent example, is that 2018 proved Trump to be helpful to Republicans in states where people already liked Trump, but a real problem everywhere else: […]
