UPDATE (MONDAY): Gardner’s pre-existing medical conditions ad is so dishonest that even CBS4 Denver political reporter Shaun Boyd didn’t have anything nice to say (Boyd is well-known in Colorado political circles for her eagerness to toss softball after softball toward Gardner). From a CBS4 “Reality Check”: There is maybe no provision of the Affordable Care […]
Whoever said, “you can run, but you can’t hide,” has obviously never met Sen. Cory Gardner. Labor Day has come and gone, and Gardner has made no attempt to distance himself from President Trump. Dropping Trump’s electoral anchor is about the only thing that Gardner hasn’t tried to do in order to win re-election in […]

Pam Zubeck at the Colorado Springs Independent has a must-read story up today expounding on a question we’ve been wondering ourselves: will alleged remarks by President Donald Trump in 2018 disparaging fallen American soldiers as “losers” shake up the vote in El Paso County, home to the bulk of the state’s military bases and personnel?

One of the principal unintended consequences we’ve been watching for from President Donald Trump’s low-information crusade against mail ballots is potentially damaging mistrust in the election system instilled in Republican voters, which could impact turnout in an election all polls already show Republicans set to lose badly. This alert from Gunnison County Republicans late last […]

Last week, it was President Donald Trump’s nomination for something his campaign called the “Noble Prize?” This week, the president’s digital campaign advertising campaign gives the world another unintentional meme, this one positively dripping with irony: The image used in this ad for Trump’s re-election campaign is available on Shutterstock: And yes, diligent planespotters, as […]
Denver7’s Robert Garrison reports on the latest attempt by the Trump-addled United States Postal Service, deliberately and/or by sheer incompetence, to screw up mail balloting that has worked flawlessly for years in Colorado elections: Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced Saturday her office filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service over a pre-election […]

Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports on the “skinny” coronavirus relief package unveiled by the Republican U.S. Senate majority yesterday–which, after months of delays and promises from Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. Cory Gardner alike, contains much, much less relief than the American economy needs: The bill, titled Delivering Immediate Relief to America’s Families, […]
Colorado Public Radio reports on two more debates in Colorado’s red-hot Third Congressional District race that aren’t happening, and once you sort through the back-and-forth it’s clear why: because Republican candidate Lauren Boebert doesn’t want them to happen. “We challenged Lauren to a debate to be hosted by the Pueblo Chieftain and a forum hosted […]
As POLITICO reports, President Trump is desperately trying to minimize the damage from a blockbuster story in “The Atlantic” on Thursday (comments that have been independently verified by The Washington Post): President Donald Trump and his aides scrambled Friday to contain the fallout from reports that he made denigrating remarks about U.S. service members and […]
Republican Sen. Cory Gardner continues to trail Democrat John Hickenlooper in the polls with two months to go until Election Day. According to new data from Morning Consult, Hickenlooper maintains a 9-point lead over Gardner, with an astounding 29-point advantage among Independent/Unaffiliated voters. Gardner’s well-worn strategy of trying to be all things to all people […]

Here’s a clip from Fox News Channel prime-time propagandist Laura Ingraham’s interview of President Donald Trump, which aired last night. Although this video is being widely scrutinized today for its many baffling and outrageous moments, such as the “plane loaded with thugs” Trump claims evidence-free was headed to Washington to bust up his superspreader event […]

Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville announced his intention to file a lawsuit against Gov.

Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) is finishing up his seventh term in the House of Representatives. He will almost certainly be re-elected for an eighth term in November.

UPDATE: On the subject of things that don’t exist at the RNC 2020, you can now include “a party platform.” The Republican Party stands for Trump…and that’s about it. Tim Alberta of POLITICO has more on how the Republican Party is no longer about anything: I decided to call Frank Luntz. Perhaps no person alive […]
