Yesterday, as we and not very many other people reported, large protests outside Sen. Cory Gardner’s Denver and Greeley offices called on Gardner to protect the expansion of access to health coverage created by the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. “Obamacare.” In Washington, D.C., the process of repealing the law has already begun–actions that are going […]
A big protest in Denver was organized at noon today outside Sen. Cory Gardner’s offices on 17th Street, calling on Colorado’s junior Senator to back off his promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Photos via the Twitters: And another healthy (pun intended) crowd at Gardner’s Greeley office: But based on the response Gardner had for […]
This week, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado and his right-wing allies in the U.S. Senate began the process of repealing the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare. Gardner doesn’t have a plan to replace Obamacare, and over 20 million Americans who depend on the health coverage they’ve obtained through the law could lose access. Join us […]
As Politico’s Burgess Everett reports, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, fresh from concern trolling about nonexistent “riots” after Donald Trump’s Electoral College formality yesterday, might be acting out of something like genuine concern over reports of Russian state-sponsored intervention in the 2016 elections. Or, as readers can decide for themselves, maybe not: Sen. Cory Gardner […]
Deep in a TV news wire story out of Washington this weekend, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner implores the so-called “Hamilton Electors,” and anybody else who might be considering a vote other than the one they are pledged to cast in today’s usually pro forma official vote of the College to formally elect Donald Trump President of […]
MONDAY UPDATE: A statement today from Sen. Cory Gardner calls for a new Senate committee on cybersecurity, but still can’t face the hard facts: “Cybersecurity policy is one of the most significant and complex challenges facing Congress, yet the Senate’s current structure to address cyber attacks remains inefficient. According to the Congressional Research Service, at […]
What a difference an unexpected win makes, as the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Joey Bunch reports: Cory Gardner once called Donald Trump a “buffoon” and even called for him to drop out of the presidential race a month before the election, but the U.S. senator from Yuma is now busy handing out olive branches to the […]
Colorado Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has had an interesting few months in what has been a fascinating time in American politics. You might not be aware of this, because we only seem to hear from Gardner via prepackaged nothing burger statements with no meaningful follow-up from relevant media outlets. For example, take Gardner’s answer over the weekend […]
WEDNESDAY UPDATE: As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports: Gardner campaigned in recent weeks for Roy Blunt in Missouri, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, Marco Rubio in Florida and Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania. But his absence from the Colorado campaign trail is drawing notice — notably in the U.S. Senate race, where Republican Darryl Glenn is […]
As Ernest Luning reported via Twitter, former GOP Presidential candidate and current Texas Senator Ted Cruz is coming to Colorado on Wednesday to stump for Colorado Senate candidate Darryl Glenn. Cruz endorsed Glenn prior to the June 28th Primary, which no doubt helped the El Paso County Commissioner on his way to the Republican Senate nomination in Colorado. Cruz’s latest […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “Unhappy with Trump? Want to Write In Pence? It Doesn’t Work That Way.” That’s the title of a story by Colorado Public Radio’s Ryan Warner, who did a nice job fact checking U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner Monday, reporting that if Gardner writes in the name of Mike Pence as his pick […]
UPDATE: David O. Williams updates his story with another document that directly contradicts Baumgardner’s own statement that “I don’t know anything about that.” And documents obtained in the CORA request also show the senator does know about the incidents in question: baumgardner-sand-release-april-2015(pdf). —– Freelance journalist David O. Williams has a new story out today that could […]
After a highly-publicized incident last weekend in which Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton left a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in New York City and was later observed needing assistance getting into a vehicle to leave the scene, Clinton’s campaign announced that the candidate has been diagnosed with pneumonia and will be resting more over the coming […]
UPDATE: State Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg obliviously re-tweeted the image (which has since been changed by Baumgardner — or someone who understands the Internet Tubes better than Baumgardner). Always great to have a better understanding of our water issues. #coleg https://t.co/ca43b6sjrt — Jerry Sonnenberg (@JerrySonnenberg) September 12, 2016 —– If you are uploading a picture to your […]
UPDATE: Cory Gardner reaffirms he’s all in in a statement today: —– Earlier today we noted that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) apparently announced his support of Donald Trump for President over the weekend. Like many Republicans, Gardner had been avoiding questions about his support for Trump — even though he was on record pledging to support the GOP nominee for […]
(Check out the update — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Update: After seeing the comments attacking Denver Post editorial page editor Chuck Plunkett, I asked him to comment on my blog post below. I regret not seeking comment from him before posting, but here’s what Plunkett said via email: Gardner has called for acting on immigration […]
As John Frank writes today for the Denver Post, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) continues to dance around the idea of Donald Trump as the GOP Presidential nominee: Pressed on whether he will vote for Trump, Gardner said “I will say this — I certainly will not be voting for Hillary Clinton.” Asked whether he would just not vote, he […]
Timing can be everything in politics, and few Colorado elected officials understand that better than Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). Gardner was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 for a number of reasons — foremost the fact that he ran a strong campaign while incumbent Sen. Mark Udall did not — but also because he picked the […]
Fresh off his game-changing endorsements of Marco Rubio and then Ted Cruz, Colorado’s junior U.S. Senator Cory Gardner is putting his trademark plastic charm to work helping Arizona Sen. John McCain–who is facing the toughest challenge of his long career from Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick: Senator Cory Gardner recognizes that we need John McCain’s experienced leadership now more […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The local response to Trump’s big win last night should catch the attention of journalists now, with Colorado Republicans coming to grips with Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee. On the pro-Trump side, as I’ve blogged many times, there’s apparently only one elected official in the state of Colorado who’s actually […]
UPDATE: What does it mean when the losing candidate picks a running mate? Answer: Diddly squat. Sorry, Carly Fiorina. —– A press release from Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign today announces the endorsement of Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, who was left high and dry after his first choice Marco Rubio dropped out of the race: […]
(Gardner not so eager to join the #CruzCrew? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) As Colorado Republicans appear to be lining up behind Sen. Ted Cruz, U.S. Senator Cory Gardner is saying he may not support Cuz–or billionaire Donald Trump–if one of them becomes the Republican nominee. “Look, any of these nominees are going to have to […]
In the weeks since the sudden death of conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Colorado’s junior U.S. Senator Cory Gardner has had varying responses to the question of whether he would consider a nominee from President Barack Obama in the final year of Obama’s presidency. After an initial statement that appeared to leave an opening […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With new polling released today showing the American public rejects the right-wing stonewalling of President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, delivered a petition with nearly 1,300 names and hundreds of comments from Coloradans to Sen. Cory Gardner demanding he do his job […]
The U.S. Senate is on a two-week recess, naturally, because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has everyone exhausted after nearly four whole work weeks of not accomplishing anything. Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is spending part of his recess on a Senate Foreign Relations Committee field trip to the Middle East, as the Associated Press reports: Saudi Arabia’s official news agency […]
