CMU/PBS in Colorado: Clinton 44%, Trump 35%

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, a new poll from Colorado Mesa University and Rocky Mountain PBS today resets the presidential race in Colorado to where it was before a recent “surge” for Republican Donald Trump in a spate of early September polls–a solid lead in our state for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton: […]

A Fresh Dose of Bogus “Obamascare”

THURSDAY UPDATE: A commenter correctly notes below that while the nationwide rate of policyholders who receive tax credits to help cover insurance premiums is 85%, Colorado itself has a somewhat lower percentage of individual insured who get tax credits–61.9%, attributable to higher personal incomes in the state. It’s certainly a big enough difference to merit […]

Will Former Jeffco School Board Member Williams Help Sink Woods?

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last year’s recall of Jefferson County school board member Julie Williams is widely considered a huge factor in this year’s Arvada/Westminster state senate race that will likely determine whether Republicans retain control of the state senate. Jefferson Country voters threw out Tea Party conservatives on their school board, with special ire […]

Carroll Punches Trump/Coffman. Hard.

As the Aurora Sentinel reports today, Democratic congressional candidate Morgan Carroll is out with a new TV spot, a shot directly at one of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s most controversial moments of verbal diarrhea–and by extension, whether incumbent GOP Rep. Mike Coffman likes it or not, her opponent: The gloves have officially come off in the […]

Oil Executive Favored as Trump’s Interior Secretary

As Politico reports, Donald Trump is likely to choose a well-known oil and gas executive as his Secretary of Petroleum Interior should he win the race for President: Forrest Lucas, co-founder of oil products company Lucas Oil and an outspoken opponent of animal rights, is a leading contender for Interior secretary should Donald Trump win the White House, […]

Glenn: “I Am The Human Equivalent Of A Unicorn”

This week’s quotable quote is in a weekend story from the Durango Herald’s Jonathan Romeo, writing about a Southwest Colorado visit by longshot Republican U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn: “That has been a theme,” Glenn said of his stops in Cortez, Durango and Salida, among others. “They expect their representation to come out more and talk […]

Donald Trump Jr. To Talk “Sportmen’s Issues” In Junction

Donald Trump, Jr. kills big stuff. As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Amy Hamilton reports, it’s almost too audacious to be believed: Donald Trump Jr., son of Republican candidate for president Donald J. Trump, will be drumming up support for policies that benefit sportsmen in the West’s public lands during a talk Thursday night at the Mesa County […]

Conservationists Launch Big Campaign Against Laura Woods

Remember last weekend when we noted with no small amount of surprise a new ad campaign from far-right GOP Sen. Laura Waters Woods of Arvada, in which she claimed with (literally) no factual basis that she has “consistently supported public lands?” It looks like that was a bigger mistake than even we imagined. A press release […]

Donald Trump Goes Full-Out Reverse Birther

UPDATE: National media outlets are not happy at being “Rick-rolled” by Trump today. From the Daily Beast: CNN anchor Jake Tapper decried how Trump had successfully gotten millions to tune into his “birther” address, only to find a drawn-out promotion of his campaign and hotel. “It’s hard to imagine this as anything other than a political Rick-roll,” […]

Joe Coors, Jr. Dies After Surgery Complications

As KDVR reports: Joe Coors Jr., the great-grandson of brewer Adolph Coors and former congressional candidate, died Thursday night from complications from surgery. He was 74. Coors, a Republican, ran against Rep. Ed Perlmutter for Congress in Colorado’s 7th Congressional District in 2012 and lost. Coors ran an ad during the 2012 election in which […]

Mike Coffman Can’t Cease or Desist from Talking Trump

Mike Coffman really wants to talk about Donald Trump. This would seem counterintuitive as a political strategy, but Coffman’s re-election campaign seems convinced that continuing to talk about his support/non-support for Trump is somehow going to help him defeat Democrat Morgan Carroll in November. Mark Matthews of the Denver Post has the details on Coffman’s […]

Donald Trump May Never Break His Own Ceiling

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been rising in national polls of late, though political analysts disagree on what this might mean for the Presidential race as we approach 50 days until Election Day. Glenn Thrush of Politico breaks out the political ouija board and finds that Trump is still stuck with the same problems he’s had for months: Everything has […]

“We’re All Mike Coffman”–Now It’s Just Getting Weird

Embattled GOP Rep. Mike Coffman’s re-election campaign in 2016 has been easily the most audacious triangulation off his own party that we’ve seen in his long political career–a reflection of the difficulty he faces remaining viable in ultra-swing CD-6 as Republican in the era of Donald Trump. Coffman has kicked the reinvention of his formerly hard-right political […]

The Return Of Economic Doomsday Dude Eric Fruits!

The Denver Post’s Aldo Svaldi reported this week on competing studies in favor and opposed to Amendment 70, the proposal to increase Colorado’s minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2020: Lifting Colorado’s minimum wage from $8.31 an hour to $12 an hour would pump $400 million into the state economy and raise living standards […]

Hillary Gets Doctor’s Note to Run for President

The Presidential campaign of Democrat Hillary Clinton released more medical information about the candidate this afternoon. As the Washington Post reports: Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a letter from her doctor Wednesday describing her diagnosis and treatment for “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia,” and will note that she received a CT scan confirming the illness and that she is […]

“Colorado For Donald Trump” (And Busted Websites)

We’re not sure who is in charge of two Facebook groups dedicated to turning out Colorado votes for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but we wanted to tip them off to a small problem: This is the Facebook page called “Trump for Colorado,” which is clearly not official. But the website http://trumpforcolorado.com, which the page tells […]

Tancredo Says Many Venues Refused to Host Gellar Event

(How about that – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Anti-Islamic pundit Pam Gellar’s visit to Denver last week was greeted with horror by ColoradoPols, who commented that “Gellar’s hatred may be constitutionally protected, but it should not be welcomed.” It’s no surprise, but thankfully others in Denver concur, to the degree that organizer Tom Tancredo has […]

Reuters/Ipsos in Colorado: Trump 43%, Clinton 41%
