It’s Official: 2020 Is Killing The Party of Trump

Politico reports, and it’s very, very bleak news for Republicans at every level as November looms on the near horizon: Support for President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic has hit an all-time low, according to a new survey, with a similarly substantial majority of Americans also disapproving of his response to widespread racial […]

Why Hickenlooper Beat Romanoff

A few days after the 2010 U.S. Senate Primary Election, in which Sen. Michael Bennet defeated challenger Andrew Romanoff by 8 points, we took a long look at how and why Bennet emerged victorious despite not being particularly well-known among Colorado Democrats. Most of what we wrote on August 13, 2010 holds up remarkably well […]

World, Meet Lauren Boebert–But Don’t Eat The Sliders

Lauren Boebert, the novice political candidate out of Rifle who pole-vaulted to the national spotlight after dispatching 5-term incumbent GOP Rep. Scott Tipton in the Colorado CD-3 Republican primary, is now getting the kind of scrutiny that congressional major-party nominees should always get. And as the Daily Beast’s lede makes painfully clear today, it’s not […]

The End Is Near for the Neville Clan

Last week’s Primary Election was an anti-climactic affair at the top of the ticket, but the rest of the ballot told a very interesting story. As we wrote last week, significant Republican Primary losses portend another GOP wipeout in Colorado come November, and the fallout could lead to the last gasps of the Neville Clan. […]

Americans Will Stop Worrying And Love The COVID?

According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump’s strategy for managing the political fallout of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is now pretty rudimentary: The goal is to convince Americans that they can live with the virus — that schools should reopen, professional sports should return, a vaccine is likely to arrive by the end of […]

Caption This Photo: Where Cory Goes One, We Go All

Courtesy the Shooters Grill Twitters, this is a photo from last September in Rifle, Colorado, of embattled GOP Sen. Cory Gardner and now-CD-3 GOP nominee Lauren Boebert. This was taken before Boebert challenged Rep. Scott Tipton in the GOP CD-3 primary in December–otherwise you can be assured that Gardner would not have consented to a […]

Primary Results Portend GOP Wipeout in November

The 2020 Primary Election is now behind us (except for those few races that may need a recount). If you are a Democrat, you should be ecstatic. If you are a Republican, you might want to go into hibernation until 2022. Let’s take a step back and examine the view of the 2020 Primary from […]

Another Roberts Stunner: Abortion Restriction Law Shot Down

UPDATE: Reproductive rights advocacy group Cobalt’s statement: Cases like June Medical Services v. Russo illustrate the importance of having access to abortion without limits or cutoffs. Louisiana is one of the most restrictive states in terms of abortion laws and there are just 3 abortion clinics in the state. Laws like admitting privileges, waiting periods, […]

This Is What Political Suicide Looks Like

UPDATE: This lede from The Washington Post summarizes the story well: President Trump insists on the campaign trail that he wants to protect insurance coverage for people with preexisting conditions. His legal team just told the Supreme Court otherwise. —– NBC News reported late last night, and the rude shock despite this being a fully […]

9NEWS/Clarity Media: Hickenlooper 58%, Romanoff 28%

As announced by 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger a short while ago this evening, a new poll of the Colorado Democratic U.S. Senate primary slams home just days before voting ends the overwhelming advantage enjoyed by former Gov John Hickenlooper in this race: More poll details can be found here. A thirty-point advantage for Hickenlooper in this […]

What We’ve Been Saying About The Senate Primary All Along

Six days before an unexpectedly vigorous Democratic U.S. Senate primary comes to an end next Tuesday, a hard-hitting story for underdog challenger Andrew Romanoff from the Colorado Sun today recounts in detail the problem we’ve been talking about in this space for months now: although Romanoff’s campaign in 2020 has run hard to the left […]

The Wheels are Coming Off the Trump Train

We wrote yesterday about how Sen. Cory Gardner’s past statements were at odds with President Trump’s declarations that he instructed officials to “slow down” testing for COVID-19 because Trump didn’t think it looked good that so many people were getting sick. As POLITICO reports today, Trump made it clear to reporters that he was not […]

What you can do to fight back this week (June 22)

Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. This weekend, Donald Trump let the terrible truth slip out. At a rally in Tulsa on Saturday, referring to testing more Americans for COVID-19 in order to control the pandemic, Trump said, “When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people; you’re going to […]

Trump Mail Ballot Rage Really Starting To Look Suspicious

UPDATE: Joe St. George of Scripps News point-blank asks Donald Trump to justify his claims of mail ballot fraud after years of covering fraud-free elections in Colorado, and this rambling mess of nonsense is what followed: VIDEO: I asked President Trump to cite specific evidence as to why mail-in ballots are fraudulent. I told him […]

Words Fail: Donald Trump Admits He’s Letting Americans Die

Political news this Sunday morning is dominated by a statement made by Donald Trump at least night’s re-election rally in Tulsa–a statement that, if true, could be the most damning admission ever made by a sitting American President: In a shocking admission during his Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally on Saturday night, President Donald Trump said he […]

Romanoff Goes Negative

UPDATE #3: And here’s Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Denver): Right now, Cory Gardner, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Andrew Romanoff are all running attack ads against @Hickenlooper. It’s clear who Republicans fear in November—and rightly so. pic.twitter.com/5aRCQMDH7o — Michael Bennet (@MichaelBennet) June 19, 2020 —– UPDATE #2: Romanoff’s negative ad has even convinced Gov. Jared Polis […]

Update: Colorado U.S. Senate Primary

There are 12 days to go until the end of the 2020 Primary Election in Colorado. Here’s where things stand this afternoon in the marquee race for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.
