CNN reports while the caviar and vodka party begins at the Kremlin: The US is moving forward with President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw nearly 12,000 troops from Germany, a decision that has attracted bipartisan congressional opposition and roiled key allies who see the move as a blow to NATO. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper […]

As the Denver Post’s Justin Wingerter reports: The latest poll in Colorado’s U.S. Senate contest shows a tightening race, with Democratic candidate John Hickenlooper ahead of Republican Sen. Cory Gardner by six percentage points. The Morning Consult survey of more than 600 likely Colorado voters shows less of a contest in the presidential race. Democrat […]
Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. On Saturday, the extended unemployment benefits passed by Congress to help Americans weather the COVID-19 pandemic expired. The CARES Act unemployment benefits expired because Republicans in the U.S. Senate couldn’t come to an agreement. Sen. Cory Gardner’s failure to break the gridlock in his own party has plunged […]
There was a lot of discussion about 10 days ago related to a controversial television ad put up by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) that attempts to damage Democratic Senate candidate John Hickenlooper by (inaccurately) referencing the 2017 explosion of a home in Firestone that killed two people and severely wounded others. Erin Martinez, […]
UPDATE: Democratic Senate candidate John Hickenlooper lands a strong right hook to Gardner’s chin in a new statement: “The clock ran out on 330,000 Coloradans who count on this critical unemployment insurance program, and Senator Cory Gardner couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger,” said Hickenlooper. “When you’re dealing with a crisis you work around […]
I never once voted for John Hickenlooper. In fact, I spent a considerable amount of my life opposing the former governor. 2020 has shown us that not only can circumstances change rapidly, so can our perspective. The twenty-first century was first dominated with overseas wars for oil and morphed into a public health crisis the […]
This morning, America’s Princess™ Ivanka Trump was joined for a campaign stop in Greenwood Village (yes, that Greenwood Village) by Colorado’s own Sen. Cory Gardner, the most vulnerable Republican U.S. Senator up for re-election in 2020, and a tour of a local day care center. An appearance by Gardner in Colorado for any reason is […]
The U.S. House of Representatives is in session today. The U.S. Senate…is not. The House passed a massive coronavirus relief package in May called the “Heroes Act.” The Senate has not taken up this legislation and has instead tried — and failed — to craft something of its own. Extended unemployment benefits passed by Congress […]
As Blair Miller reports for Denver7, First Daughter Ivanka Trump is in Colorado today to do a little “greenwashing” with Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma): Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and adviser, will embark Thursday on a two-day trip to Colorado for a visit to Rocky Mountain National Park with the Interior secretary and a tour […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s Pandemic-Presidential-Pardoning-Pence-Pandering-Vice President-Picking-Palooza! (we’re getting a little out of control with the ‘p’ words). In this episode, we have another edition of the Boebert Report; we can’t seem to find our second favorite U.S. Senator from Colorado, Cory Gardner; AND we interview David Ortiz, Democratic Candidate for […]
(Sounds like exactly the kind of decision-making that Republicans need in Congress — promoted by Colorado Pols) In apparent violation of state and federal law, Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert allowed an under-age server at her restaurant in Rifle to carry a gun. Boebert, who toppled Congressman Scott Tipton in a Republican primary last month, […]

Two years ago, Democrats absolutely demolished Republicans up and down the ballot in Colorado. To just about anyone with functioning eyeballs, the 2020 election looks equally bleak for the State GOP. In 2020, the top of the ticket for the GOP — President Trump and Sen. Cory Gardner — is about as popular as leprosy […]

The Denver Post’s Alex Burness takes a hard look today at the rapidly declining fortunes of GOP House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, emerging as the biggest loser of the June 30th primary election after a slate of allied House candidates crucial for Neville’s ongoing grip on leadership was trounced. As we foresaw early this month, […]
UPDATE: Gov. John Hickenlooper’s campaign joins the call to pull the ad off the air: Erin Martinez is absolutely correct — Washington Republicans must take down their ‘horrifying’ and false attack and stop exploiting this tragedy and distorting the facts to score political points.” Here is the truth. As Governor, Hickenlooper held oil and gas […]
UPDATE: Gardner raised $3.6 million in Q2, meaning Hickenlooper has now outraised the incumbent in three consecutive fundraising quarters. Gardner has $10.7 million cash on hand, which is about $1 million more than he had in the bank after Q1; in other words, Gardner’s burn rate is not great. Hickenlooper has $4.6 million cash on […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Following the lead of Trump administration officials and campaign staff, several Colorado Republicans are joining the conservative social media site Parler, which is best known for allowing users to post misinformation or extreme statements typically blocked by Twitter or Facebook. Newsweek calls Parler “a safe haven for anyone too extreme, racist […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Three years ago this month, after the downward-pointing thumb of John McCain put an end to the last of three Republican attempts to kill Obamacare, the Arizona senator issued a statement with ideas on how America could move forward to improve its health care system. Among McCain’s suggestions: “heed the recommendations […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s Post-Primary-Processing-Pallooza! A local gun group pulls the trigger and a tiny little flag that says BANG pops out of the barrel; Cory Gardner wears a mask; Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert wears a gun; we tempt the fates by attempting to be light hearted about the coronavirus; even […]

Donald Trump says Cory Gardner is with him 100%—”no waver.” Last Friday, Trump commuted the sentence of his close associate Roger Stone, who was convicted of a felony for lying to Congress in order to protect Trump. It’s a betrayal of basic American values so egregious that even […]

The New York Times reports on last night’s commutation of the sentence of close Donald Trump campaign associate Roger Stone, the latest act in the administration’s accelerating disregard for the rule of law in the interest of self-preservation: For months, senior advisers warned Mr. Trump that it would be politically self-destructive if not ethically inappropriate […]
