U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner sounded like Ronald Reagan himself this morning on KOA radio, when he claimed the Senate’s tax-reform bill would help the poor with trickle-down wage increases. Still, he said, he was uncertain whether he’d ultimately vote for the measure–just as he’s been undecided before voting in favor of all Obamacare-repeal bills this […]
From today’s White House press conference–so much for the Republican Party’s attempt to put daylight between itself and embattled U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, as CNN reports: White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said President Trump continues to believe that the people of Alabama should decide Roy Moore’s fate in the Senate race, but reiterated […]
KUNC’s Bente Birkeland breaks more ugly news from the Colorado General Assembly–this time two members of the Republican state Senate majority accused of harassing lobbyists–and, in at least one case, an intern working for a member from across the aisle: New claims of sexual harassment have been brought up at the Colorado legislature involving Sens. […]
The New York Times reports on President Donald Trump’s time this weekend with the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte–whose human rights record has earned his regime worldwide condemnation, and became a serious political hot potato after Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado snuck into Manila to visit Duterte for a diplomatic visit earlier this year: […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: With outrage growing, Cory Gardner’s “if true” avoidance qualifier becomes less tenable by the minute: Innocent until proven guilty is for criminal convictions, not elections. I believe Leigh Corfman. Her account is too serious to ignore. Moore is unfit for office and should step aside. — Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) November 10, 2017 —– […]
Vox’s Dylan Scott reports on a most revealing moment of candor from GOP Rep. Chris Collins of New York: The House Republican tax overhaul has already made a lot of enemies. Moderate Republicans from New York and New Jersey worry their constituents would lose big if they can no longer deduct their state and local […]
With debate stalled in the U.S. Senate over a measure to reauthorize federal funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which lapsed due to congressional incompetence last month, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, released a “sequel” to Sen. Cory Gardner’s 2014 campaign ad in which Gardner cited “cancellation letters” for […]
Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner is the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) for 2018, and it’s turning out to be a pretty crappy job. We’ve been documenting the extent to which Gardner’s role as NRSC Chair is becoming quite a headache for the first-term Senator, and on Sunday, Mark Matthews of the Denver Post dug into the […]
(The man has never met a question he wouldn’t avoid — Promoted by Colorado Pols) What will the Republican tax bill do for people who make $1 million or more? That’s turned into a contentious issue in recent weeks, as the GOP weighs the political liability that might result from lowering taxes on the super […]
In the aftermath of yesterday’s apparent terrorist attack by a Uzbeki immigrant to the United States in New York City, President Donald Trump is doing what he does best in moments of national crisis–pointing the finger at his political enemies: The terrorist came into our country through what is called the “Diversity Visa Lottery Program,” […]
Fox 31’s Joe St. George reached out to members of Colorado’s Congressional delegation on Monday to get their reaction to the news that two former campaign staffers for Donald Trump were indicted on federal charges related to an investigation into potential collusion with Russia. We’ll let St. George take it from here: Sen. Gardner did not issue […]
Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian isn’t doing this poorly. Morning Consult is out today with its quarterly update of the latest approval ratings for each United States Senator, and our own Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is nearly upside-down in the approval department. With an “approval” rating of just 40% and a “disapproval” rating of 39%, Gardner qualifies as the 8th-most […]
With a good chance of at least some readers dropping out of society for the next few days to binge-watch the long-awaited new season of Stranger Things on Netflix, even Sen. Cory Gardner is getting into the zeitgeist: Hearing reports of a possible #UpsideDownWorld portal back this week. Not sure if it's true, but @Stranger_Things […]
After we took note this past weekend of local involvement in legislation now blamed for worsening the opioid painkiller addiction crisis in America by making it harder for the Drug Enforcement Administration to halt questionable drug shipments, Denver7’s Blair Miller ably followed up the story–documenting the co-sponsorship by both Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman of […]
NBC News’ Kasie Hunt via 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark, watch out! VIDEO: Watch @clairecmc tell NRSC @CoryGardner, after his car almost hit her: “Probably the only shot you’ve got to take me out!” pic.twitter.com/yG37EtItlg — Kasie Hunt (@kasie) October 24, 2017 Gardner was being driven away from the Capitol by a staffer when the car apparently […]
UPDATE: Yes, Sen. Jeff Flake’s speech today is going to leave a mark: “If I have been critical, it not because I relish criticizing the behavior of the President of the United States,” Flake said. “If I have been critical, it is because I believe that it is my obligation to do so, as a […]
A fascinating analysis of interactions on Twitter with major politicians in the era of Donald Trump at FiveThirtyEight, worth reading to understand the difference between different kinds of Twitter interactions–and what they say about those politicians, you know, politically: Three things can happen to a tweet once you send it into the world: It can […]
Continuing a downward trajectory we’ve been watching for some months now, as reported by Politico’s Morning Score today, for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) under chairman Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado–the organization responsible for preserving the GOP’s Senate majority from challengers to the left and right alike continues to hemorrhage funds, spending more than it […]
If you blinked, you missed it–yesterday morning, Sen. Cory Gardner announced another one of his trademark “tele-town halls,” set to take place this morning at 10:00AM: Even if you didn’t blink, and managed to take time at the beginning of a busy weekday to “talk” to Sen. Gardner on practically no notice, hopefully you didn’t […]
UPDATE: President Trump’s decision to cut cost-sharing reduction subsidies (CSR) — which Gardner apparently supports — is directly related to significant increases in healthcare costs in Colorado: Premium rate changes w/o CSR funding in Colorado average out to 34.3% #copolitics pic.twitter.com/cE5usncn5L — Blair Miller (@blairmiller) October 18, 2017 —– Critically, Gardner refers to these subsidies as “bailouts” […]
The Colorado Springs Independent’s Nat Stein follows up on one of the lingering trespassing cases left over from the spate of protests this past summer over health care at Sen. Cory Gardner’s offices–most of which have been dismissed at Gardner’s request, but not in conservative Colorado Springs: While the debate roiled on in Washington, D.C., […]
Bloomberg News tracks the growing Republican unease over Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist now masterminding what appears to be a nationwide insurgency against the “establishment” GOP–after toppling appointed GOP incumbent Sen. Luther Strange of Alabama in favor of freak-right icon Roy Moore, and at least some manner of contact with prospective Colorado […]
As the Charleston Post and Courier reports, Colorado’s Sen. Cory Gardner got into televangelist character at a fundraising dinner for South Carolina Republicans, waxing bombastic in front of the friendly crowd: Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, the evening’s headliner, waxed poetic about his conversion to conservatism at a young age and railed against what he argued […]
(Like we said – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has yet to comment on Trump’s latest effort to deliver a body blow to Obamacare by eliminating insurance assistance for low-income people. But in March, Gardner said he hoped Trump would use his presidential authority, ASAP, to dismantle Obamacare. “We also, I […]
UPDATE: From the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative: “Today, the Trump administration took a deliberate step to sabotage the insurance market and gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions. This Executive Order will allow association health plans to offer insurance that does not provide essential health benefits such as mental health care and maternity care. Consumers […]
