Back in September of 2017, Rep. Mike Coffman made a statement to Real Clear Politics about immigration reform and President Donald Trump they we felt pretty sure would come back to haunt him: “He’s got the credibility in terms of being tough on immigration and I think he’s the only one, probably, within the Republican […]
UPDATE 7:45PM: After over 6 hours of testimony overwhelmingly opposed and lent emotional weight by last week’s school shooting in Florida, “guns in schools bill” dies in the House State Affairs Committee. —– UPDATE: Testimony is set to go late into the night in the Colorado House State Affairs Committee–but for much of the hearing […]
Denver7 reporting from the aftermath of a massive explosion last week in Firestone that completely destroyed a new home, killing two people and severely injuring two others–an explosion that occurred less than 200 feet from a 20-year-old oil well owned by Anadarko Petroleum: A Houston-based company announced just over a week after a fatal home […]
UPDATE: Real Clear Politics’ James Arkin has more quotes from Gardner during the repeal debate in the U.S. Senate: Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, chairman of Republicans’ Senate campaign committee, said he thought Democrats’ efforts – emphasizing their push to preserve the Affordable Cart Act – would backfire. “They have no strategy, they have no message,” […]
The final Presidential debate of 2016 takes place tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada. Republican Donald Trump, whose campaign has been in a seemingly-bottomless free-fall for the last two weeks, has one final chance to try to gain some positive momentum as he stares down Democrat Hillary Clinton on Primetime television. You could certainly make an argument that Trump is out of […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Gary Harmon reports, next weekend’s debates at the Club 20 2016 Fall Conference in Grand Junction are provoking a lot of interest on both sides of the Continental Divide. The nominal headliners on Saturday of course are Sen. Michael Bennet debating his Republican opponent Darryl Glenn–but given the lopsided polling […]
A press release from Morgan Carroll’s congressional campaign calls out Rep. Mike Coffman for something we didn’t think would be a problem–his declining to participate in a Spanish-language debate, something he hasn’t shied away from previously: Yesterday, Donald Trump and Mike Coffman both put to rest any lingering questions about whether or not they have […]
UPDATE: KDVR is live-streaming this morning’s GOP Senate debate. Guess who showed up? —– Denver7 and the Denver Post both had new stories Wednesday on the ongoing ballot fraud scandal involving the Senate campaign of Republican Jon Keyser, and we don’t expect the coverage of this continually-breaking news to stop anytime soon. Keyser has been silent and invisible […]
One Colorado, the state’s leading LGBT advocacy group, is circulating the video you can see above highlighting the, um, the lowlights from the recent debate in the Colorado House over House Bill 16-1210–legislation that would ban the widely-discredited practice of so-called “conversion therapy” by licensed mental health professionals seeking to “cure” LGBT Coloradans of, you […]
Alright, so it took us a little bit longer than we had anticipated to finish up our “Debate Diary” of the first Republican Senate candidate forum of 2016. Last week we posted Part 1 of our “Debate Diary,” and you can now read Part 2 after the jump below. On Thursday (Feb. 11), the University of […]
On Thursday (Feb. 11), the University of Denver (DU) College Republicans wrangled 7 of the 13(?) candidates for the first Republican Senate debate of the cycle. This first debate was covered by a few media outlets, but the stories largely just focused on the fact that 7 GOP candidates were in the same room together. […]
As the Washington Post reports, an awful debate performance by GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio this weekend has thrown his campaign into a tailspin at the worst possible moment: Just two days before the New Hampshire primary, Rubio drew mockery for repeating a rehearsed line four times during the Republican candidates’ debate, even after New […]
It’s difficult to remember everyone who sought the Republican nomination for President in 2015, but just for fun, let’s see how you fare before you read any further; can you name the 17 (seventeen!) GOP Presidential candidates who participated in the first big debate in early August? We’ll give you a hint: There was something […]
The Durango Herald’s Peter Marcus has an insightful story up today discussing the similarities and disparities between recent fears over terrorism in the United States and last week’s domestic terror attack on a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs–a story already taking on additional relevance as news events elsewhere add urgency: Members of Colorado’s congressional […]
UPDATE: If that’s not enough for you: Realize that this Feb debate that the @GOP just suspended with NBC is the ONLY one they have with a Hispanic co-sponsor – Telemundo — Domenico Montanaro (@DomenicoNPR) October 30, 2015 —– In a letter today to NBC chairman Andrew Lack, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus (we […]
The Boulder Daily Camera’s Charlie Brennan and Sarah Kuta recap the action outside yesterday’s Republican presidential debate at the University of Colorado at Boulder–in particular, one detail that didn’t come together quite the way the coverage leading up to yesterday’s events had us all expecting: Boulder played an improbable starring role at the center of the […]
The Boulder Daily Camera’s Sarah Kuta reports on big protests being planned for October 28th at the University of Colorado’s Boulder campus–the day Republican presidential candidates are set to debate in a nearly-empty Coors Events Center despite thousands of students who could–and would like to–fill the arena’s 11,000 seats. Before this is over, Republican debate organizers […]
As the Boulder Daily Camera’s Sarah Kuta reports, Rep. Jared Polis of Boulder has joined the growing dogpile of complaints over the highly limited seating available to University of Colorado students at next month’s on-campus Republican presidential debate: Congressman Jared Polis on Monday called the limited number of seats available at the Republican presidential debate […]
As the Boulder Daily Camera’s Sarah Kuta reports: University of Colorado students are frustrated that they won’t be able to attend the Republican presidential debate being held on their campus and are banding together this week to demand that more tickets be made available. Late Thursday night, the CU Student Government passed a special resolution […]
It has become something of a tradition here at Colorado Pols for us to give you, our loyal readers, a live blog, play-by-play of political debates relating to Colorado and the race for President. We’re back to do it again tonight, but this time we’re going to try a slightly different approach compared to our last live-blog. […]
Republicans in the Colorado legislature have been trying to figure out how to seize control of national public lands in Colorado, but they’re not having much success. One such effort, SB-232, failed to make it through the State Senate last night when Republicans couldn’t keep their votes intact; sponsored by Sen. Randy Baumgardner, SB-232 would […]
Yesterday Republican Rep. Mike Coffman and Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff participated in the first Spanish-language debate in Colorado history. While Coffman seemed to have trouble with the language — his campaign has backpedaled significantly from touting Coffman's Spanish-language prowess — he nevertheless managed to flip-flop on a key issue. In 2011, Coffman proposed amending the […]
The Hill reports on Democratic CD-5 candidate Irv Halter's new ad, hitting Rep. Doug Lamborn on his Veterans Affairs Committee attendance record–a weak spot for Lamborn in this military-heavy district: "In the Air Force, when you're absent without leave, you get arrested," says retired Maj. Gen. Irv Halter (D), in a new ad. "In Washington, they […]
The New Republic's Rebecca Leber reports on another brutal moment for GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner at this week's Denver Post debate–in which Gardner was unable to give a simple yes-or-no answer to the question of humanity's role in global climate change. Tuesday, Gardner refused to answer a yes or no question on whether humans are causing […]
The Denver Post has posted video clips of a number of key exchanges from last night's pivotal U.S. Senate race debate between Mark Udall and Cory Gardner. We certainly encourage readers to watch the debate in its entirety, but these clips zero in on the most impactful moments–almost all of them major breakdowns for Gardner's […]
