(Promoted by Colorado Pols) At last weekend’s Colorado Republican Central Committee meeting, Senator Cory Gardner gave Congressman Ken Buck such a full-throated endorsement that his voice almost cracked. Nominating Buck for Colorado Republican party Chair, Gardner praised his experience and his fundraising and organizing ability before concluding simply, “We need him. I need him. This […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner accused state Democrats of “overreach” yesterday, telling KHOW radio host Dan Caplis that proposed legislation is “extremely, extremely alarming” and contrary to the “people’s will.” Caplis did not ask Gardner if he supports recalling Democratic lawmakers, and a call to the senator’s office seeking an answer to […]
RealVail reports on the big fundraising numbers just reported by Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Michael Johnston, one of a growing pack of contenders itching to take on vulnerable GOP incumbent Sen. Cory Gardner next year: Vail native and now Denver resident Mike Johnston, who says he’s not accepting any donations from political action committees, set […]
After the report on the investigation into the 2016 elections by Special Counsel Robert Mueller was given to the Justice Department, leading to a terse memo from Attorney General William Barr that has at least for the moment alleviated the immediate threat of impeachment of President Donald Trump over the still-unreleased report’s conclusions, Trump immediately […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Congressman Ken Buck gave a fiery campaign speech at the Colorado Republicans Central Committee meeting Saturday. Cheered on by U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, Buck hit all the usual red meat issues: guns, abortion, oil and gas, before delivering the coup de grace: a call for recalls. Buck dared Democrats to “come […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Much of the Colorado media that cover oil and gas issues are busy following the state legislature, providing details of the drama and blow-by-blow of the SB 181 debate, and dutifully reporting out the industry hyperbole in between the paid industry ads. And public attention is due, SB181: the Public Health […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon, who is a member of the fundraiser’s host committee, responded to a request for comment. Commissioner Laydon also said he’s excited about the commitment Gardner has made to pursue infrastructure projects that are important to the residents of Douglas County. He continued, “I think we’re […]
A fascinating story from the Colorado Sun’s John Frank today on the three candidates running to be the next chair of the Colorado Republican Party–a daunting position being vacated by outgoing chair Jeff Hays following the worst defeat for the GOP in this state since the Roosevelt era. One of the principal fault lines with […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner doubled down yesterday on his longstanding opposition to Obamacare, saying the national health insurance law has “failed” without offering a concrete plan to replace it. Gardner’s comments, delivered on KNUS 710-AM’s Steffan Tubbs show, came as the Trump Administration announced yesterday that it will not defend Obamacare […]
(An unkind cut – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After The Denver Post declared this month that its 2014 endorsement of U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) was a big mistake, former Post owner Dean Singleton got a call from Gardner himself. “After the editorial ran, he called me, just to chat,” Singleton told the Colorado Times […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Since he voted in support of Trump’s national-emergency declaration, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has been “back in Colorado attending private events but hasn’t hosted a public town hall,” reported Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland last week. In fact, Gardner hasn’t held a public town hall meeting since Nov. 20, 2017, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Gardner’s statement on release of Mueller report: ““I have consistently said the Mueller investigation should be allowed to reach a conclusion, and I’m grateful the Special Counsel has finished the investigation and submitted a report today. The American people have a right to know the outcome of this investigation and […]
We joked earlier today about a photo sent out by Sen. Cory Gardner’s social media accounts featuring Gardner behind the controls of a commercial aircraft, which as it turns out was a simulator at the United Airlines pilot training facility in the Stapleton neighborhood of Denver taken yesterday. So far as we know, that’s the […]
Last week’s vote by the U.S. Senate to terminate President Donald Trump’s border wall national emergency, in which Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado ended weeks of self-generated confusion over his shifting stands on the issue and voted to protect the President, provoked a backlash against Gardner locally that feels much different and more profound than previous […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In his short explanation of why he voted with Trump for a national emergency to build a border wall, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner did not explain why he told at least two Colorado media outlets that he opposed the national emergency. The two statements are unequivocal, starting with his March 13 […]
In October of 2014, the Denver Post delivered its much-anticipated endorsement in the red-hot U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and his Republican challenger Rep. Cory Gardner. The Post’s endorsement of Gardner in this race was delivered more or less on the assurance that Gardner would not represent a threat to the […]
UPDATE #3: TPM’s Josh Marshall: Gardner’s decision illustrates a core principle of Trump Republicanism. Even in cases where a vote is clearly against public opinion at home (state or district) and even in cases where it is clearly politically damaging, they almost always come around to Trump. Why? Simple. Because even if they’re on the […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports: Colorado’s U.S. senators split Wednesday over whether to end America’s involvement in Yemen’s civil war. Sen. Michael Bennet, a Denver Democrat considering running for president in 2020, voted in favor of a resolution ending assistance to Saudi Arabia in Yemen. Sen. Cory Gardner, a Yuma Republican, voted against […]
As the standoff over a pending vote in the U.S. Senate to disapprove of President Donald Trump’s dubious declaration of a national emergency to appropriate by fiat the billions he needs to fund construction of a wall on the southern U.S. border drags on, our friends at WaPo’s The Fix take stock of the seven […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was a featured speaker recently at the 2019 BBYO International Convention in Denver, where he delivered a brief welcome speech that featured an oddly-timed choice of words. Gardner’s generally milquetoast remarks to the convention of Jewish teenagers wouldn’t be worth a mention if not for the dunderheaded clichés he decided to […]
Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) declared over the weekend that he will vote in favor of a resolution opposing President Trump’s “emergency declaration” for border wall funding. As Paul said during a speech in Kentucky, “I can’t vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated by Congress.” Paul’s pledge means that […]
MONDAY UPDATE: The Boulder Daily Camera reports: According to the College Republicans at CU Boulder Facebook page, the club cancelled its usual Thursday night meeting to host an unnamed “special guest speaker” on Friday… A club member who asked not to be identified, said Gardner’s identity was withheld to keep the event from becoming a […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was a guest on “The Daily Briefing” with Dana Perino on Fox News Thursday morning. The interview was primarily about North Korea and President Trump’s apparently fruitless talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as well as Trump’s non-response about the death of American Otto Warmbier. As it is in many of […]
Senator Cory Gardner has had a busy fundraising schedule so far this year. In addition to a pair of high-dollar events last month, his official campaign kick-off luncheon takes place Wednesday at an undisclosed Washington DC location, where he’ll be joined by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the entire Senate leadership team. But Gardner isn’t […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: For the record, .@coloradodems spox retracts earlier attack on @SenCoryGardner after @colo_politics asks if it was accurate. “… this isn’t what we strive to do,” @davidkpoursh writes in the extremely rare (and classy) mea culpa. #cosen #copolitics pic.twitter.com/9HOp46vqB7 — Ernest Lee Luning (@eluning) February 28, 2019 Gardner seems to be getting credit for […]
