(The plot thickens – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a radio interview this morning, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner denied that he traveled to a meeting at a swanky Georgia resort over the weekend in a last ditch effort to stop Donald Trump from becoming the GOP presidential nominee. “These conspiracy theories about what took place […]
Reid Epstein of the Wall Street Journal was in Detroit, Michigan last night for the Republican Presidential dick joke exchange debate, and he ran across Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) afterward in the “spin room” (Gardner is a vocal surrogate for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio). Epstein had to ask “Con Man Cory” seven times if he would back Donald Trump if His Hairness […]
The partnership between 7NEWS Denver and Pulitzer Prize-winning Politifact made another big contribution to truth in politics Friday evening, demolishing a ridiculous claim from Sen. Cory Gardner on the history of confirming Supreme Court justices by Presidents and Congresses not of the same party: Some senators have been flunking their exams on Supreme Court nomination history. […]
As the Denver Post’s Mark Matthews reports, Colorado’s junior Sen. Cory Gardner is taking a taxpayer-funded junket to the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to “see for himself” how the remaining 91-some odd detainees left in legal limbo there are getting on: U.S. Sens. Cory Gardner and Jerry Moran — two ardent critics […]
GOP Sen. Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulphur Springs, often mentioned in this space due to his “dressy Western” appearance at the Capitol and his penchant for similarly rough-hewn politics, is facing a serious challenge once again in 2016 from his 2012 general election opponent, Club 20 board member and Colorado Mountain College teacher Emily Tracy–from a […]
UPDATE #2: Sen. Cory Gardner’s comms director Alex Siciliano responds: CONFIRMED: @ColoradoMatters received exact same statement sent to @denverpost two days ago. #nicetry #copolitics https://t.co/HLx4biZe3i — Alex Siciliano (@jasiciliano) February 18, 2016 Apparently they missed this statement as you can see below. But to the larger point, we think we’ve figured out the trouble here, folks, and […]
After Colorado’s highest-ranking elected Republican officials vowed to obstruct the speedy appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice in the wake of the sudden death of Antonin Scalia, ProgressNow Colorado, the state’s largest online progressive advocacy organization, demanded that Sen. Cory Gardner give the President’s forthcoming nominee a fair hearing and an up-or-down vote. “Colorado […]
The Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins, Colorado’s freshman Sen. Cory Gardner goes unscripted on the stump in New Hampshire for Marco Rubio: As a fresh-faced conservative on the rise in his party, Gardner has been introducing himself to audiences in early primary states where attendees might not know much about the young pol from Yuma, Colorado. So […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republican Sen. Cory Gardner spent a good chunk of his election campaign telling us that the Life at Conception Act was really nothing more than a symbolic statement, when, in fact, it is federal personhood legislation that would ban all abortion, even for rape. Gardner infamously described the Life at Conception […]
UPDATE: Raw Story reporting, Cory Gardner isn’t the only Colorado Republican catching hell for his knee-jerk response to President Barack Obama’s action on guns today: Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) wrote, “.@POTUS just showed w/ #guncontrol that he has no respect for rep. government nor the limitations that Constitution places on his powers.” The congressman represents […]
By far the biggest defeat suffered by Colorado Democrats in 2014–and arguably the biggest loss for Democrats in this state since retaking control of the state legislature in 2004 and starting their roll toward political dominance here–was the narrow election of Cory Gardner to the U.S. Senate. Gardner’s defeat of Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Udall was […]
Politico’s Darren Goode reports on a splashy hearing this week chaired by Texas Senator and GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz, taking shots at climate science that Republican primary voters (and energy lobbyists) love even as smart Republicans cringe: Ted Cruz took a break from the campaign trail on Tuesday to dive headlong into an aggressive […]
As the Durango Herald’s Peter Marcus reports, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado is very, very upset with President Barack Obama’s handling of the campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), especially after last week’s apparent terror attack in San Bernardino carried out by persons at least passively radicalized by ISIS propaganda. So upset […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s fairly common for people to feel disenchanted with politics these days. Unfortunately, they’re not unjustified; our elected officials don’t always behave in accordance with the values we expect of them. However, sometimes we get to feel genuine pride for our politicians. For us, one of those came a week ago […]
(Finally some fireworks in the race to succeed Bill Cadman – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Rep. Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt likes to come out swinging at his various targets, including, now, his Republican opponent for state senate, Rep. Bob Gardner. Showing off his media skills, Klingenschmitt posted an entertaining video today, labeling Gardner a “liberal” and […]
Welcome back to the Colorado Pols Editorial Department, where we examine particular blog posts, Op-Eds, editorials, and other opinionated pieces of political writing. Today, we take a look at Stuart Rothenberg’s “Rothenblog” and the case for Colorado Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) as a potential running mate for Republican Presidential candidate Marco Rubio. You can read the text of “Cory Gardner for […]
UPDATE: CNN’s Jeremy Diamond notes the irony as well: Gardner also deflected questions about Rubio’s poor voting attendance record, citing a “double standard” between Rubio and past presidential contenders running from the Senate. But Gardner took a very different stance toward voting absences last year in his election fight against Sen. Mark Udall, the Democrat […]
There’s a huge hole in stories written in the wake of Friday’s announcement that the state’s largest nonprofit insurance provider Colorado HealthOP would be dropped from the insurance marketplace due to concerns about the organization’s financial stability. Revisiting a story cited in a reader’s diary Saturday from the Denver Post’s Alicia Wallace: The Colorado Division […]
CBS News reports on the latest attempt in the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate to ban abortions after 20 weeks, a number considered arbitrary by experts and an incremental step toward outlawing all abortions by pro-choice advocates: Senate Democrats thwarted a Republican effort to ban late-term abortions on Tuesday as GOP leaders strained to avoid a government […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s after Labor Day, and the thin lineup of Republicans even thinking about challenging Sen. Michael Bennet would make you believe they’re scared of Michael Bennet and his war chest. But Cory Gardner, on KNUS radio Wed., sees it this way: Republicans are actually scared of “taking fire.” Gardner: I think […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Who’s most like you, Sen. Cory Gardner or Rep. Ken Buck? Many see Buck and Gardner as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, one wearing a smile the other seething with anger. But if you’re a Tea-Party activist in Colorado, the answer is “Ken Buck.” So it’s not surprising that Tea-Party radio […]
(Basically, Cory Gardner thinks you’re stupid – Promoted by Colorado Pols) After he voted to defund Planned Parenthood, Sen. Cory Gardner hopped on the radio said, not to worry, no one in Colorado will suffer if the health organization loses federal funding. “We voted to take the money from Planned Parenthood and distribute it to […]
UPDATE: The Fort Collins Coloradoan’s Jason Pohl reports some additional details today that both shed some light on the story and raise more questions–and either way, don’t make Cory Gardner’s hair-raising speculation via press release any more justifiable: A woman called Fort Collins Police Services on May 24 to report “two unknown Middle Eastern males” had approached her […]
Denver Post reporter Joey Bunch contributes the local angle to the AP’s national wire story about yesterday’s failed attempt by U.S. Senate Republicans to defund Planned Parenthood, as the brouhaha over thinly-supported allegations of the organization “selling baby body parts” continue to provoke the usual reaction from the anti-choice crowd’s usual suspects. Including Colorado’s junior Sen. […]
This is why Michael Bennet should distance himself from Colorado‘s junior senator: Your Betters get together to save the Little People from themselves by digby The Koch pageant is in full effect: Koch, speaking on a low stage in front of an elaborately manicured lawn at the St. Regis Monarch Beach luxury resort, warned about […]
