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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Like these alerts? Click here to subscribe. The primary election is over. In just four months, the chance we’ve waited for ever since the disaster of the 2016 presidential election to restore America’s credibility and leadership in the world will finally be here. The polls show that Donald Trump and his party are in serious […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
UPDATE 8:30PM: Media outlets are starting to call the Republican Primary in CO-3 for Lauren “Yosemite Samantha” Boebert. —– UPDATE 8:24PM: Democrat James Iacino concedes race to Diane Mitsch Bush in CO-3. —– UPDATE 8:00PM: Andrew Romanoff concedes, making the early night official: NOW: @Romanoff2020 is conceding and said he called @Hickenlooper a few moments ago.

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, […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
