So Many Reasons Why Recruiting Aurora Cops At Trump’s Rally Was A Terrible Idea

As veteran reporter Susan Greene reports for the Aurora Sentinel, there’s fresh controversy brewing in the wake of last Friday’s visit by Donald Trump to the northernmost reaches of the city of Aurora to promulgate his fictional portrayal of the city and the whole state of Colorado as a war zone overrun by “army of […]

New Questions about Trump Mental Fitness After Bizarre Monday Rally

Donald Trump might be running short on marbles. Vice President Kamala Harris has been urging Americans to take a closer look at rallies held by the Republican Presidential nominee — including last Friday’s appearance at the Gaylord Resort in Aurora, Colo. — to view firsthand how the 78-year-old meanders from topic to topic in exceedingly […]

So-Called “Patriot Front,” Or Maybe Feds, March Through Downtown Denver

On Saturday afternoon in downtown Denver, a band of somewhere around 50 men wearing face masks and the loosely matching uniforms of the fascist ultranationalist group Patriot Front arrived on RTD trains to march around the city protesting the “unrestricted and unmitigated invasion” of Colorado they presumably heard about from a Donald Trump stump speech. […]

Gabe Evans: So Far to the Right He’s Almost in Kansas

Republican Gabe Evans has been letting his right-wing freak flag fly in recent weeks as Election Day gets closer and he is forced to elaborate further regarding his positions on a number of important topics. For example, his 111-word non-answer on the easiest political question imaginable: When is it okay to hit children in public schools? The […]

Who Will Win Colorado’s Tightest Congressional Races? (Poll #3)

It’s that time in the election cycle when we ask readers of Colorado Pols about what’s going to happen when the votes are tallied. (Here’s Poll #1 and Poll #2) As we’ve noted many times, our readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years; while these polls are completely unscientific, we think […]

The Pro-Normal Party Coalition (feat. Adam Frisch)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…keep your kids away from Gabe-ish Evans because he might want to hit them (or at least have that option). Then, we continue to examine the mystery of why the Arizona GOP is doing the job of the Colorado GOP, because don’t they have enough of their own […]

Down The Darkest Rabbit Hole To A Place Trump Calls Aurora

The dust has settled in the extreme northern smidge of the city of Aurora next to Denver International Airport where ex-President Donald Trump held a rally Friday to promote his fictional narrative of the “takeover” of this Republican-controlled city of 400,000 by migrant gangs, to be followed shortly by the overrunning of the entire state […]

Arizona GOP Confirms They’re Filling In For Dave Williams’ Nonfunctioning Colorado GOP

The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby ran down the scoop on the strange story we’ve been talking about for over a week now, mailers delivered in two competitive Colorado congressional races paid for by the Arizona Republican Party–a situation sufficiently unusual that we at first speculated it may have been some kind of printing error. […]

What to Expect as the Donald Trump Nonsense Tour Lands in Colorado

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump descends upon the Gaylord Resort in [squints] Aurora today to air his rambling list of grievances and explain why everyone in Colorado has been killed by Venezuelan gangs. And Aurora taxpayers get to pay for it (the reimbursement check will undoubtedly not be in the mail). If you’re planning on […]

The Ballots are Coming! The Ballots are Coming!

The 2024 election is here! If you have signed up for BallotTrax, you might have already received an email and/or text message alert that your 2024 General Election ballot is on the way. If you haven’t signed up for BallotTrax, you can do that or confirm your voter registration info at GoVoteColorado.gov. You have plenty […]

Yes, Aurora Will Pay For The Privilege Of Trump’s Insults

As Susan Greene reports for the Aurora Sentinel, clarifying a not-unexpected detail about ex-President Donald Trump’s campaign stop tomorrow barely within the boundaries of Aurora at the Gaylord Rockies resort: the city of Aurora will pay the bill for local police protection and other services to the Trump campaign provided for tomorrow’s dubious drop-in to […]

Did Boebert Know About Colorado Clerk’s Criminal Plan Beforehand?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder According to a social media post from “America’s Mom,” Sherronna Bishop, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) had prior knowledge of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters’ plan to breach the security of Mesa County’s Dominion Voting machines. “Tina Peters is a whistleblower,” wrote Bishop on […]

Arizona GOP is Now Sending Direct Mail in TWO Colorado Congressional Districts

Welp. This story just keeps getting more bizarre. As we’ve noted in this space, the Arizona Republican Party has now sent two different direct mail pieces into CO-08 in support of Republican Gabe Evans as he tries to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo. As you are no doubt aware, Arizona is not in Colorado […]

Gabe Evans Can’t Answer Question on “When is it Okay to Hit Children”?

Republican Gabe Evans has been trying hard to present himself as a normal person throughout his campaign for Congress in CO-08. On Tuesday evening, the real Gabe Evans finally slipped out. During a live debate on 9News, Evans was asked THREE TIMES by co-moderator Kyle Clark to state his belief on when it might be […]

Colorado GOP Peeing Its Collective Pants Over Trump Visit

Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump will visit Aurora (sort of) on Friday when his campaign holds a rally at the Gaylord Resort, which is near Denver International Airport and not anywhere close to the apartment complex that he and other right-wing screechers claim has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs. In order to celebrate Trump’s […]

Trump Calls His Own Bluff On Aurora

As the Aurora Sentinel reports, word broke late yesterday (H/T to the Colorado Times Recorder) that ex-President Donald Trump, having blown a self-imposed deadline to visit the city of Aurora, Colorado after adding the false tale of the city’s “takeover” by Venezuelan gang members to his stump speeches, will indeed make an appearance in Aurora […]

Who Will Win Colorado’s Tightest Congressional Races? (Poll #2)

It’s that time in the election cycle when we ask readers of Colorado Pols about what’s going to happen when the votes are tallied. We posted the first poll last week. As we’ve noted many times, our readers have been oddly accurate in predicting outcomes over the years; while these polls are completely unscientific, we […]

Arizona Republican Party Sends Second Mail Piece for Gabe Evans

Arizona has nine congressional districts…or 10 if you count Colorado’s eighth congressional district. As we noted last week, the Arizona Republican Party sent out a mailer in support of Republican Gabe Evans, who is trying to unseat Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo in CO-08. This was a strange expenditure that we have never seen in 20+ […]

Boebert Damns Her Would-Be Successor With Faint Praise

As Reuben Schafir reports for the Durango Herald, on Friday afternoon Colorado’s carpetbagging sensation Rep. Lauren Boebert did something that at first glance readers might not have expected: hosting a town hall in the southwest Colorado town of Ignacio, hundreds of miles deep in Boebert’s soon-to-be-former Third Congressional District, actually making good on a promise […]

The Big Lie is Back, But it’s Really About 2024 Now

The 2024 election will conclude in less than a month. Naturally, Republicans across the country have decided to focus their attention on the 2020 election as they make their final pitch to voters. Questioning the results of the 2020 Presidential Election rushed back in a big way last week during the closing moments of the Vice […]

Threats From The Right, Relief From Clerks After Tina Peters Goes To Jail

The sentencing last Thursday of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to a total of nine years of orange as the new black for her official misconduct and conspiracy to tamper with election equipment in her custody as part of a half-baked plot directed by nationally-known election deniers to prove the 2020 election was stolen […]

I’m Gabe Evans, and This is the Worst Ad You’ve Seen in Years

There’s a well-worn axiom in politics that says, If you’re explaining, you’re losing. If that saying still holds true in 2024, then Republican Gabe Evans is most definitely losing. Evans is clearly worried that his history of opposition to abortion rights will cost him votes in his quest to defeat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo […]

BREAKING: Former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters Gets 9 Years

UPDATE #2: It’s been a long road from Mar-a-Lago to locked up for ex-Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters: At Mar-a-Lago in 2022, Trump called Tina Peters a “rock star,” praised her work investigating his false election claims, and said he would look at endorsing her. Peters was just sentenced to 9 years in prison for […]

Calvarese Punches Boebert Hard On Burn Pit Vote

  Democratic CO-04 candidate Trisha Calvarese is an arithmetic longshot running against Colorado’s controversy-eating carpetbagger Rep. Lauren Boebert in this heavily Republican district, but Calvarese has been raising big bucks to make the most of her run–and as Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, Calvarese is out with a hard-hitting new […]
