The Big Line 2024: Ballot Measures

UPDATE: We’ve redone the graphic below to include the official titles of each of the (now) seven citizen measures that will appear on the General Election Ballot. We’ve also updated the odds as we see them. —– [Original Post: 8/27/24] The Big Line has been a staple on Colorado Pols since the site’s founding in […]

Venezuelan Gangs Have Not (Yet) Taken Over This Podcast

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…the federal government is running out of time (again) to pass a continuing resolution (again) to fund the government for another few months (again), and our 8th favorite member of Congress is pretty responsible for it (again!) Then, the Colorado legislature cut about a billion dollars in taxes […]

Walling Off New Mexico: It’s Now Really A Thing

As Albuquerque’s KRQE-TV reports, what was once a running joke with its origin in various flubs committed by Republican politicians attempting to address immigration on the southern U.S. border, sometimes forgetting or misstating the state of New Mexico’s status as a U.S. state, now appears to be a highly questionable reality as the state of […]

Denver Gazette Running Ads With Falsehoods About Gangs Seizing an ‘Aurora Apartment Complex’

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder It’s now well established that Venezuelan gangs did not take over apartment complexes in Aurora, but the Denver Gazette, a conservative online newspaper owned by GOP billionaire Phil Anschutz, is still running Facebook advertisements falsely claiming that a “Venezuelan gang used violence to seize […]

Delusional Mayor Mike Says He Can Change Trump’s Mind About Aurora

As we await the details of ex-President Donald Trump’s promised campaign visit to Aurora, Colorado, motivated by discredited “crisis comms” PR on behalf of an out-of-state slumlord has “fallen” to Venezuelan gang members, the city’s Republican Mayor Mike Coffman has a serious problem. After initially helping spread the false story that apartment buildings in the […]

Trump To Bring Hateful Debunked Double-Down To Aurora

That’s the news dominating local political news headlines this morning–after weeks of escalating misinformation, allegations laden with ulterior motives, and pleas by local residents to blame the real bad actors who are not repeat not a cartel of Venezuelan gang members in control of the 400,000 souls inhabiting the city of Aurora, Colorado, former President […]

Republicans Misunderstand Leverage in Stupidest Shutdown Threat

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is really not very good at this whole governing thing. Like, historically bad. With less than 50 days to go until the 2024 Election, Johnson on Wednesday tried to ram through a continuing resolution to fund the government tied to a proposal so idiotic that many House Republicans publicly […]

Local GOP Fundraiser Packs Both Heat And Meat

‘Tis the season for fundraisers by party organizations great and small, and without much help expected from the internally riven and cash-starved Colorado Republican Party, the Montezuma County GOP is getting creative with their gimmicks to coax open the wallets of the party faithful. Or maybe you won’t find it creative at all, but at […]

Yadira Caraveo Not Letting Gabe Evans “Memory Hole” His Fired Political Director

As the Denver Post’s John Aguilar reports, incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo, defending her seat from freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans, took the offensive yesterday against Evans over the firing last week of Evans’ political director Jessica Spindle, a longtime Evans ally who was exposed by the Colorado Times-Recorder to have a lengthy history of overtly […]

Gabe Evans’ New Ad Is Such BS It Shouldn’t Even Need A Truth Test

  That’s the verdict from 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger on a new TV spot co-funded by CO-08 Republican candidate Gabe Evans and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), leveling an accusation so sweeping against incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo that if you just take a moment to breathe and think about it, is absurd on its face: […]

Trump/Vance Campaign Following Heidi Ganahl Playbook

If at first you don’t succeed, lie, lie again. The Trump/Vance campaign for President/Vice President seems to be following this playbook one week after Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump was roundly mocked for saying in a debate with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were stealing people’s pets — cats, […]

How Mayor Mike And A Slumlord Invented The “Takeover” Of Aurora

The New York Times’ Jonathan Wiseman reported this weekend in depth on the controversy over the fictional “takeover” of the city of Aurora, Colorado by migrant gangs, which despite being debunked at every step in the false story’s spread peaked last week with former President Donald Trump promising that the “largest deportation in the history […]

Trump: The Mass Deportations Will Begin In Aurora

As ABC News reports, once ex-President Donald Trump picked up the wildly exaggerated tales of Venezuelan gangs “taking over” the city of Aurora, Colorado in his stump speeches and this week’s punishing debate loss to Vice President Kamala Harris, it’s become an integral component of his message despite increasingly urgent attempts by local Republican elected […]

Republicans Are Stuck With Dave Williams Until At Least Mid-October

As Sara Wilson reported Tuesday for Colorado Newsline, the court trial to determine who is the rightful leader of the Colorado Republican Party is set to begin just over a month from now–not as far off as lawyers for embattled but still holding the office keys chairman Dave “Buh Bye Brandon” Williams were hoping for, […]

Colorado Republicans Keep Learning the Cost of Incompetence

The Colorado Republican Party is currently overseen by Chairman Dave Williams…unless you think the true leader is “Chairman” Eli Bremer. You might be right either way. The headquarters of the Colorado Republican Party is in Greenwood Village, south of Denver…or maybe it is in Colorado Springs, where Bremer recently opened a “satellite” office of the […]

Gabe Evans Fires Psycho Racist Political Director, Raising All The Questions

UPDATE: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) calls out Gabe Evans’ continuing silence: After his political director was caught spewing conspiracy theories, racist and antisemitic rhetoric, and even called for political violence, Gabe Evans is refusing to denounce her disturbing rhetoric. The staffer has worked with Gabe Evans since his first run for state house […]

No Pets Were Eaten During the Making of this Episode (feat. Sen. Michael Bennet)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…with less than two months to go until the biggest election of our lives, Kamalamentum is still picking up speed…or is it?  The media, and apparently a decently large slice of the American electorate, are grading Donald Trump on a rollercoaster sized curve; we ask, ‘Why the hell […]

Aurora Apocrypha Helps Trump Crash And Burn On National Television

Last night, Vice President Kamala Harris faced off against former President Donald Trump in what could well be their only debate before the November elections. If this does prove to be the only debate between the candidates it will not be the choice of the Harris campaign, who after last night immediately offered Trump a […]
