As the National Journal reports, Coffman is now 0-for-3 on Trump questions: A National Journal survey of eight members from racially diverse and Democratic-leaning districts—including one Senate candidate—resulted in just a trio of House freshmen who took clear […]

Taken by the Washington Post at campaign rally in New Hampshire last week: It’s one of those moments when the camera’s ability to pluck a brief slice of reality out of the blur and make it…well, horrifying, reaches out and grabs you.

The Colorado Independent’s Marianne Goodland updates the ongoing controversy over freshman GOP Rep.

There’s no nice way to say it: Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s hotly controversial call to bar the entry of all Muslims into the United States has a surprising–the better word may be disturbing–amount of support among American conservatives according to polls taken since terrorist mass shooting attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
