Newsweek reports that GOP freshman Sen. J.D. Vance has by all accounts had a historically bad launch as Donald Trump’s running mate, with polls since the end of the Republican National Convention last week showing that Vance is the least popular vice presidential pick from either party in over 40 years: The Ohio senator’s net […]
A fixture in Colorado political journalism is calling it a career. Sandra Fish, Data Journalist for The Colorado Sun (and many other outlets, including the Boulder Daily Camera), announced today in her own understated way that she was swimming off into the sunset. From The Colorado Sun’s “Sunriser” newsletter: “Fish,” as she was commonly known […]
With a faction of members of the Colorado Republican Party’s central committee set to meet this weekend to vote on whether to oust embattled party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams and his crew of allies in state party leadership–a meeting that the party has declared “illegal” and vowed to ignore the results of–another candidate […]
The Republican nominee for Congress in CO-08, State Rep. Gabe Evans, has earned the nickname “Gabe-ish” for his propensity to answer important questions with an “-ish” at the end. That moniker turns out to have been a pretty accurate description of the Evans campaign in general as he has stumbled around blindly and struggled to […]
The campaign of worm-brained Presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. continues to run into snags. As Andy Kenney reports for Colorado Public Radio, Worm-F-K, Jr. isn’t likely to be on Colorado’s Presidential ballot as a Libertarian candidate after all: A fight over which candidate will represent the Libertarian Party on Colorado’s presidential ballot may be […]
UPDATE: Once again from Ernest Luning at the Gazette, Dave Williams’ ally El Paso County chair Vickie Tonkins takes a swipe at her vice-chair, leading anti-Williams insurgent Todd Watkins in the latest round of high-dudgeon low-impact retaliation: A censure resolution pushed by El Paso County GOP chairwoman Vickie Tonkins and approved Tuesday night by the […]
9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger provides the latest updates in the micro-saga we’ve been watching unfold within the Colorado Republican Party under historically controversial chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, for whom the knives are out after Williams’ audacious gambit of turning the state party into a personal political vehicle for himself and favored Republican primary […]
Republicans have had a hard time winning elections in Colorado in recent years. The way back to political relevance in the state legislature, such that one exists when the GOP only holds 19 of a possible 65 seats, apparently starts with a bonkers candidate in Douglas County named Matt Burcham. The 2022 “Bluenami” in Colorado […]
As CNN reports, yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court rejected without comment a last-ditch attempt by indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to have the felony charges against her thrown out, failing to convince Justice Neil Gorsuch that her half-baked scheme to steal proprietary election system data in a failed attempt to provide evidence that […]
Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee for President after less than two days of campaigning without President Biden. Harris’s campaign raised more than $100 million from 1.1 million individual donors in about 36 hours, including a record $81 million in her first 24 hours as a candidate. The first public polling results […]
UPDATE: As we noted last week, Colorado Republicans including the state’s top congressional candidate Gabe Evans bearhugged J.D. Vance, which won’t age well in the event Vance turns into a boat anchor for the Republican ticket: “Americans relate to J.D. Vance,” says Gabe Evans. Don’t forget he said so. —– With the announcement Sunday that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder In 2020, when he was a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado’s Benson Center for Western Conservative Thought, John Eastman speculated in a Newsweek op-ed that Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris might not be eligible to serve as vice president because her […]
As The New York Times reports, Vice President Kamala Harris has wasted no time in locking down support after President Biden’s Sunday announcement that he would no longer seek re-election in 2024: Harris moved swiftly to assert herself as the de facto Democratic nominee for president on Monday, her first full day as a candidate, […]
We wrote last week about Republican state Rep. Scott Bottoms, who the morning after the assassination attempt against ex-President Donald Trump asserted without evidence to his congregation at the Church at Briargate in Colorado Springs that the FBI was involved in the incident in something other than a protective capacity. Since the July 13th shooting […]
UPDATE: The Harris campaign announces that it set a new record for the largest 24-hour fundraising haul in history: $81 million in the first 24 hours of her candidacy. From a press release: —– How about them vibes? President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he would no longer seek re-election and gave his full […]
Appearing on CNN this morning with host Dana Bash, Colorado’s Gov. Jared Polis, who in all fairness has been listed as a potential candidate for vice president under the new Democratic favorite for the presidential nomination Kamala Harris, busted up the newsroom with this hilarious answer to the question of whether he would take […]
UPDATE #3: And just like that–with the endorsement of Sen. John Hickenlooper, the entire Colorado Democratic delegation stands united behind Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States: We’ll be the first to say it: the swift herding of cats across the nation by Harris’ campaign into a near-unanimous Day One show […]
The Republican National Convention in Milwaukee wrapped up last night as former President Donald Trump accepted his third consecutive presidential nomination, with a speech that set a new record for the longest presidential nomination acceptance speech in history–beating the previous two records that were both set by Trump in 2016 and 2020. After the failed […]
Follow along tonight as the unlikeliest of history is made. Or, have a normal evening and check back later for an update.
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…just when you thought this election couldn’t possibly get any more insaner, Donald Trump survived an actual assassination attempt; if you’re just waking up from a coma, yes, he’s about to officially be renominated as the GOP presidential candidate. We check in on the RNC convention in Milwaukee, […]
The Colorado Republican Party is not exactly rife with rocket surgeons these days. The Party itself is spiraling into new depths with its escalating calls for things that Republicans must oppose, which includes stuff like “schools” and other basic things like “laws.” A sizable chunk of Colorado Republicans would like to remove Dave Williams as […]
UPDATE: There is a lot of information to be gleaned, including between the lines, from this rundown via POLITICO’s “Playbook”. —– An exclusive report from Jeff Mason at Reuters today quotes Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper saying that President Joe Biden, who was forced off the campaign trail yesterday after testing positive for COVID-19, is close […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder Three days after the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump, federal investigators have yet to uncover the motives of the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. What little has been uncovered about Crook’s political views is ambiguous and inconsistent, with the New York Times reporting […]
When we last discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding Colorado Republican Party chairman and twice-failed congressional candidate Dave Williams, the party appeared to have successfully put off the question forced by dissenting members of the party central committee of Williams’ continued chairmanship until the end of August–well beyond the 30-day window prescribed for these kinds of […]
Democrats in the state legislature passed a landmark bill in 2019 creating a reinsurance program intended to help reduce health care costs for Coloradans — an effective solution to a problem that Jared Polis campaigned on heavily when running for Governor in 2018. Thanks to that legislation, health care premiums in Colorado DECREASED for the […]
