Hot on the heels of Sen. Cory Gardner’s last negative ad, in which Gardner lovingly hand-washes somebody’s Maserati while reciting various falsehoods about former Gov. John Hickenlooper’s record, Gardner has a new TV spot out today lamenting the fact that Hickenlooper is running negative ads about Gardner: Back in 2010, Hickenlooper ran a particularly well-received […]
Brave as ever, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) waited until the very end of the day to issue a statement about his position on filling the Ruth Bader Ginsberg vacancy before the election. In statement, @SenCoryGardner does not oppose a Supreme Court vote before the election and says he would vote to confirm a “qualified” Trump […]
Here’s President Donald Trump speaking today with his favorite Fox and Friends in a clip eagerly shared by Colorado Democrats, assuring the morning agit-prop faithful that Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado is fully on board with jamming another U.S Supreme Court Justice into Trump’s legacy: TRUMP: I think it’s going to help. I think […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports: Forty-five days before the fight of his political life, and one day after being thrust into a national spotlight by the death of a Supreme Court justice, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner addressed the high court’s vacancy for the first time Saturday but declined to say whether President Donald […]
Whoever said, “you can run, but you can’t hide,” has obviously never met Sen. Cory Gardner. Labor Day has come and gone, and Gardner has made no attempt to distance himself from President Trump. Dropping Trump’s electoral anchor is about the only thing that Gardner hasn’t tried to do in order to win re-election in […]
We’ve discussed at length in this space two TV spots running in heavy circulation across Colorado from Sen. Cory Gardner’s re-election campaign–the first released a week ago featuring Gardner meme-worthily washing a Maserati while he makes exaggerated claims about travel expenses incurred by John Hickenlooper as governor, and the second released Tuesday featuring Sen. Gardner’s […]
UPDATE: Gardner is getting crushed by national media outlets who clearly see the contradictions: Reminiscent of his 2014 Senate campaign, when he featured his own claims that the ACA had doubled his own family’s premiums in TV ads (but also went to great lengths not to disclose the details of his original coverage plan). — […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: CNN’s Manu Raju updates with comment from Sen. Cory Gardner on this very issue on a “tele-town hall” last night: Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, who has perhaps the toughest reelection race of any Republican member, was asked in a telephone town hall on Thursday evening whether it was “appropriate” for Trump to “lie […]
When Republican Cory Gardner was running for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall in 2014, his campaign came up with a couple of memorable — if completely disingenuous — television ads that presented the two-term Congressman as a cherubic ball of bipartisan ambition. Gardner’s 2020 Senate re-election ads have been what we […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports on the “skinny” coronavirus relief package unveiled by the Republican U.S. Senate majority yesterday–which, after months of delays and promises from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Cory Gardner alike, contains much, much less relief than the American economy needs: The bill, titled Delivering Immediate Relief to America’s Families, […]
We took note last week of an interview of Sen. Cory Gardner by CBS4’s Shaun Boyd, in which Gardner cited the failed 2013 secession movement by 11 rural Colorado counties as evidence of a “silent majority” that would rise up to help him beat John Hickenlooper in the November elections. It’s a head-scratching claim to […]
A new TV spot began running today across Colorado from Sen. Cory Gardner’s re-election campaign, and it’s all about one thing: Watching this ad, you might get the idea that Cory Gardner played some kind of particular role in the passage of “forgivable loans for small businesses,” which was a component of the CARES Act […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It appears that some Colorado Republicans are presenting themselves as mask wearers on public communications platforms, but being less diligent in the real world. Take, for example, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), who’s trying to appeal to moderate mask-lovers–and, and at the same time, fire up his mask-hating conservative base to […]
Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is up with a new re-election ad today that probably won’t do much to alter his seemingly-inevitable path to defeat at the hands of former Gov. John Hickenloooper. Gardner’s latest TV spot, which you can view below, continues on his 2020 theme of commercials that are, frankly, pretty dumb. In this […]
Sen. Rick Scott of Florida has always struck us as an unusual public figure to say the least, mostly because he looks and talks like a perfect combination of Batboy and Marshall Applewhite: We’re not sure who exactly Scott is supposed to appeal to. Nonetheless he wins elections in Florida. Rick Scott is standing with […]
UPDATE: It’s been more than 10 days. Still no bill text: —– Politicians can do craven, gutless, despicable things when they are worried about their own re-election. Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is on another level entirely. Today marks the one-week anniversary of the introduction of legislation that Gardner has not talked about other than […]
UPDATE: Yeah, right. .@CoryGardner's reelection campaign says they did not purposefully exclude Colorado from this Facebook ad buy. "Facebook's algorithms are just optimizing based on people who engage with similar content." #copolitics https://t.co/3dBlryojc7 — Jesse Aaron Paul ☀ (@JesseAPaul) August 14, 2020 —– Amanda Terkel at Huffington Post reports: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) is running […]
As the Denver Post’s Shelly Bradbury reports: U.S. Senator Michael Bennet on Monday called for an investigation into the federal government’s response to the spread of the novel coronavirus in meatpacking plants across the country. In a Monday letter to the inspector generals at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Labor, Bennet […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, we’re celebrating Episode #50! Senate Republicans keep shouting “O’Doyle Rules!” as their car flies off the coronavirus cliff; we find our second favorite U.S. Senator boning up on his mandarin in preparation for his next job; QAnon makes it to the White House; we weigh the relative […]
Last Wednesday, as the Republican coronavirus relief legislation faced overwhelming condemnation for being totally inadequate even as a starting point for negotiations with Democrats, GOP Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado appeared in the cozy confines of local conservative talking head Jimmy Sengenberger’s podcast to defend the GOP’s proposal to slash the expanded unemployment benefit 330,000 […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, the march to passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, which passed the U.S. Senate with wide bipartisan support and Sen. Cory Gardner’s earnest election-year blessing, went a little sideways yesterday after all of Colorado’s Republican members of Congress voted against the bill: Republican Reps. Ken Buck, Doug […]
“The president took unprecedented action at the very front end of coronavirus.” The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) brings us the damning four seconds of video you can see above, from a longer social media video highlighting some of the most poorly-aged words to be found in 2020 political parlance–endangered Senate Republicans praising President Donald […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is a hot mess right now. In the last 24 hours or so, Gardner has tried desperately to convince reporters that his campaign isn’t already doomed; watched his Democratic opponent win a blowout victory despite millions in negative ads; saw a fellow incumbent lose a Primary despite having President Trump’s […]
With a record number of Coloradans looking for work, shovel-ready projects on our public lands and the Arkansas Valley Conduit can benefit everyone in our state. Read my op-ed with @PuebloChamber‘s Rod Slyhoff in the @ChieftainNews on the @OutdoorsAct. ⬇️https://t.co/Xx0ngtVivj — Cory Gardner (@SenCoryGardner) June 29, 2020 That’s Sen. Cory Gardner, extolling the benefits in […]
President Trump held his first campaign rally in three months on Saturday when he dropped in on Tulsa, Oklahoma. In case you missed it, there were two big storylines that emerged from Saturday’s rally. The first big story was the crowd size. After touting more than 800,000 RSVPs and promoting a huge crowd in Tulsa, […]
