Oof. The hits just keep on coming for Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma): Listen to White House Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows mockingly laugh when I ask if Trump plans to carry through on his promise to @CoryGardner to relax federal marijuana laws https://t.co/82yImAR2lI — Matt Laslo (@MattLaslo) June 18, 2020 The White House later tried to […]
CNN’s Manu Raju reports on the fallout from disclosure of highly damning new allegations about President Donald Trump’s foreign policy in a book finally coming out next week written by former National Security Adviser John Bolton. Guess who doesn’t want to talk about it? You already know the answer: Senate Republicans are unmoved by the […]
The June 30 Election is two weeks away, and Republicans are spending a lot of time and effort…in the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate. Both the Gardner campaign and the @NRSC have new anti-Hickenlooper ads out this morning. The NRSC ad debuted in Denver this morning. The NRSC had planned to go on air after […]
Scott Miller at the Vail Daily reports on a renewed effort by Colorado Democrats in support of legislation to protect 400,000 acres of public land in Colorado–legislation presently getting the brush-off from Sen. Cory Gardner as he tries to focus attention on the Great American Outdoors Act that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has allowed […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is rolling out endorsements from fellow Republican Senators and spending a lot of money on Facebook to promote them in an effort to raise more money for his own re-election bid. For obvious reasons, Gardner’s campaign has been less enthusiastic about announcing one particular endorsement. This week Gardner promoted endorsements/fundraising […]
The Denver Post’s Bruce Finley reported yesterday on a green light from GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to allow passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, legislation to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund and provide cash to chip away at the huge backlog of maintenance and other projects on public lands: […]
UPDATE: Via CNN’s Chris Cillizza: So, to say — as so many elected Republicans do — that they don’t have pay attention to what the President tweets is, on its face, deeply irresponsible. Monitoring what the President says, even if it’s as frequent and as frequently erratic as Trump’s tweets, has always been part of […]
Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports today on the push from Democratic members of Congress from Colorado and Secretary of State Jena Griswold to encourage other states to adopt our state’s highly successful–and much safer from a social distancing perspective–mail ballot election system: “If we do not act as a nation very quickly, Americans who […]
People are still buzzing about the eye-opening letter written by former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis earlier this week in which he said that President Trump is actively trying to divide Americans. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try,” wrote Mattis. […]
As the Denver Post’s Jon Murray reports: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said Tuesday that violence during recent nightly protests in Denver overshadowed demonstrators’ “righteous” message, but he rebuked calls by President Donald Trump and others to activate the military to put down civil unrest in cities across the country. “This is not China. This is […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A leader of one of the state’s most prominent LGBT advocacy organizations says U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s recent attack on former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is “cynical” and “beneath” the Gardner campaign. Jason Marsden, vice president of the Mathew Shepard Foundation, told the Colorado Times Recorder that Gardner, a Republican, misrepresented […]
We touched on this in today’s Get More Smarter update, and the debate goes on over one of the most vitriolic Tweets ever from President Donald Trump–so much so that Twitter again took the exigent step of flagging the Tweet for violating its policy against “glorifying violence.” The original tweet read: “These THUGS are dishonoring […]
Conservation Colorado released new polling data today showing that Colorado voters overwhelmingly support three legislative proposals aimed at improving air and water quality in the state. These are interesting numbers, but what caught our attention was the favorable/unfavorable breakdown of Colorado politicians. Pay particular attention to the results for Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma): Gah! Earlier […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Lots of people had theories on why U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner decided not to take part in a debate on 9News prior to November’s election, but House Republican leader Patrick Neville of Castle Rock got the inside scoop from Gardner himself. “[Gardner] told me…. He was like, “‘Yeah, I don’t talk […]
Readers of Colorado Pols are well aware of the Faustian bargain that Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) made when he fell in line firmly behind President Trump shortly after the 2016 election and tied his fortunes to the Big Orange Guy ahead of the 2018 election cycle. Any last hope that Gardner had for creating a […]
As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the gross incompetence of President Donald Trump and the non-career professional side of his administration into harsh relief, along with the Republican political establishment that enabled and continues to prop up Trump through his daily displays of embarrassing ignorance, Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado has taken a terrible […]
FRIDAY UPDATE: Cory Gardner’s backside in the breeze is how our Memorial Day Weekend kicks off: Yikes, @SenCoryGardner is getting some rough coverage back home #copolitics pic.twitter.com/0CdnrgGAUH — Chris Moyer (@ChrisRMoyer) May 22, 2020 Politico updates: Gardner and others had clamored for immediate reform to the Paycheck Protection Program, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) jumped on conservative talk radio yesterday to laugh off a letter from Colorado House Speaker KC Becker and others requesting that Gardner pledge not to vote for Mitch McConnell as Republican leader of the U.S. Senate, if Gardner is re-elected in November. Gardner didn’t tell KHOW […]
The campaign for Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) announced on Wednesday that it had challenged potential Democratic opponents John Hickenlooper and Andrew Romanoff to five debates this fall. But the big news in the announcement was more about who Gardner was dissing. As 9News reports: Incumbent Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R) has declined an invitation […]
(Duplicitous? Well, yeah, that’s how Gardner rolls. — Promoted by Colorado Pols) In the midst of an effort to claim the bipartisan high ground, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) used official (non-campaign) time to headline a fundraiser for the Colorado House Republican caucus fund, controlled by perhaps the most aggressively partisan opponent of Governor Polis in […]
CNN’s Manu Raju reports today on the growing crisis for vulnerable Republican incumbent Senators like Cory Gardner of Colorado as President Donald Trump’s dangerous incompetence during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens to further reduce their chances of their careers surviving the November elections. On the latest looney development from the White House, Trump’s announcement yesterday […]
As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reported Saturday, a new survey of Colorado voters shows solidifying trendlines indicated by previous polls–high marks for Gov. Jared Polis, relatively favorable opinion of the Democratic majority in the Colorado legislature ahead of next week’s “grand reopening,” and positively brutal numbers for Sen. Cory Gardner and President Donald Trump: “This […]
UPDATE: Colorado Democrats give this ad two thumbs down: “Senator Gardner’s deceptive ads won’t change the fact that he’s stood by President Trump 100 percent of the time as they’ve played political games with lifesaving medical supplies and tried to yank health care coverage away from Coloradans when we need it most,” said Colorado Democratic […]
FOX 31’s “Not That” Rob Low updates from Greeley on the plight of workers at the JBS beef backing plant, which was closed temporarily in April after a number of employees died from COVID-19 infections. This the plant that has made nationwide headlines in recent weeks after workers were promised proper testing to isolate positive […]
(Fact check: “pants on fire,” basically – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Sen. Cory Gardner continues to claim credit for obtaining 100 ventilators for Colorado, despite the federal government having blocked a state deal for 500 machines. In an online interview with KNUS 710AM radio host Steffan Tubbs, Gardner said he has worked very closely with […]
