Gardner Doesn’t Play “Shutdown Politics?” Is That a Joke?

USA TODAY’s Herb Jackson points out something really, really obvious that we haven’t seen noted anywhere else as Sen.

Gardner Qualifies Threat To Hold Justice Department Nominees

Denver7’s Blair Miller reports after Sen.

Top Ten Stories of 2017 #1: Cory Gardner’s Slow-Motion Career Crash

(Yeah, yeah, it’s January 10th. At least we finished this — Colorado Pols) How bad was 2017 for Cory Gardner?

Denver Post Destroys Leftist Plot To Terrorize Gardner Family
