The announcement yesterday by former President Donald Trump of Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance to be his running mate, replacing former Vice President Mike Pence who was, safe to say, uninterested in another term, was greeted enthusiastically by Colorado Republicans, many of whom simply welcomed the opportunity for someone besides Trump to do the talking from […]
In an interesting turn of events in Colorado’s eighth congressional district, Republican Gabe-ish Evans is paying himself a “salary” out of his congressional campaign account as he attempts to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo. As Jesse Paul reports for The Colorado Sun, there’s nothing illegal about this…but it’s raising eyebrows considering how hard Republicans […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports today on the issue of abortion as it affects competitive congressional races in our state–in particular the coming showdown between Democratic CO-03 once and future contender Adam Frisch and Grand Junction attorney Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd. Hurd, as readers know, was recruited by Republican institutional unfriends of Boebert to […]
To say that Congressperson Lauren Boebert is a “one-trick pony” wouldn’t be entirely accurate — unless you’re talking about her ideas for legislation related to federal agencies. Boebert is a big fan of using her interpretation of the so-called “Holman Rule” to attempt to essentially eliminate salaries of top officials in government agencies by reducing […]
As Charles Ashby reports for the Grand Junction Sentinel, the endless delay tactics from indicted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to avoid sanction in the pileup of legal cases against her have finally run out of steam, with Peters’ trial on felony counts stemming from her misuse of office to allow the theft of […]
UPDATE #5: We called it on the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast. Here’s the clip: —– UPDATE #4: Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver comes out fighting: —– UPDATE #3: Here’s a handy roundup of J.D. Vance’s past quotes on Donald Trump from Fox News that you’ll most likely never see again: —– UPDATE […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder MyPillow founder and election denier Mike Lindell was a surprise guest at a movie screening of Let My People Go, held July 12, at Orchard Mesa Baptist Church in Grand Junction. The film stars David Clements, a former lawyer and fired New Mexico State […]
We’ve recovered enough from the initial shock to relay what the Washington Post reports from Butler, Pennsylvania: A shooter fired multiple rounds toward the stage at a campaign rally Saturday for former president Donald Trump in what federal officials are investigating as an assassination attempt, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, WE DID IT Y’ALL! WE MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO EPISODE 200! The world is a mess and politics have sure gotten weird over the last two weeks, but we made 200 episodes of a Colorado Politics podcast that began in July 2019. On this very […]
Caitlyn Kim reporting for Colorado Public Radio on the first member of Congress from Colorado, Rep. Brittany Pettersen of JeffCo and points south and west, to call on President Joe Biden exit the 2024 presidential race in favor of “one of our many capable Democratic leaders.” “Joe Biden saved our country once, and I’m joining […]
Westword’s Chris Perez reports on the latest brush with the law (that we know of) involving America’s catbird of carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert, who successfully ditched her growing list of professional and personal problems, at least for now, behind the Continental Divide by winning the clown-car CO-04 GOP primary in a blowout. But on a […]
Congressperson Lauren Boebert likely saved her political career with a landslide victory in last month’s Republican Primary in CO-04. Now that she can exhale about her employment for the next few years, Boebert is free to be her true self… Her true ridiculous, uninformed, and embarrassing self. Boebert is still technically representing the third congressional district […]
As Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, a coalition of Colorado Republicans who have banded together behind El Paso County GOP vice chairman Todd Watkins looking to oust state party chairman and humiliatingly defeated congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams is battling with Williams’ allies in party leadership over the […]
UPDATE: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also seems to be pushing for Biden to exit the race. From The New York Times: Pelosi suggested on Wednesday that President Biden still could reconsider his decision to remain in the presidential race, the strongest public signal yet from a senior member of his party that the matter […]
As the Washington Examiner’s Rachel Schilke reports, yesterday was distant former Parker Mayor-turned perennial primary loser Republican Greg Lopez’s best day ever, sworn into Congress to fill in for the remaining six months of retired Rep. Ken Buck’s term before the seat is filled for good by the winner of the November 5th CO-04 general […]
Almost lost among the many, many, many stories about the future of President Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign is that Republican Donald Trump only has a few days left in which to select a new scapegoat running mate and Republican Vice Presidential nominee. According to Aaron Blake of The Washington Post, Trump’s potential choice seems to […]
As the Republican Party heads for their national convention next week to anoint Donald Trump as their nominee for President of the United States for a third consecutive election, there’s been some much-publicized consternation from some religious conservatives over what they perceived to be a Trump-engineered pivot on the issue of abortion–an issue that, toxic […]
President Joe Biden may well weather the storm surrounding the concerns about his age and fitness for the top elected office in the land and remain the Democratic choice for President in November. But this is not the way to do it. We’ve talked a little about Biden’s not-very-good debate performance in Atlanta on June […]
The Colorado Republican Party has issued a new fatwa for its members across the state: Ignore newly-enacted gun safety laws. The Colorado GOP’s “Director of Special Initiatives” Darcy Schoening sent out another asinine email with the latest set of directions for loyal party members to follow. Schoening is demanding that Republicans refuse to comply with […]
They say Republicans aren’t hip, but the Weld County GOP is doing their best to change that…or at least we have to assume that was the idea behind what they’re billing as a “rave fundraiser” later this month: For readers who didn’t go to these kinds of parties in your adolescence, “rave culture” got going […]
Here we are, folks, and there’s no not talking about it.
With the June 25th primary elections now in the rearview mirror, we’ve arrived at the moment in the campaign when Republican candidates running in competitive Colorado races traditionally shift their message gears from the partisan red meat that propelled them to victory in the GOP primary to the “kinder, gentler Republican” more compatible with the […]
We were admittedly surprised in early April when Danny Moore decided to run for a State House seat in HD-37. We’re slightly less surprised that Moore has decided not to continue forward with that quest. According to the Colorado Secretary of State’s TRACER website, Moore terminated his State House committee on Monday after spending a […]
We’ve updated The Big Line now that the Primary Election is behind us. Much of the action in Colorado in 2024 was on the Republican Primary side, so there’s not a whole lot to really debate about November. The only truly competitive race for Congress is in CO-08, where we have incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira […]
