(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In the months before her upset victory over fellow Republican Scott Tipton, Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert developed a loud-mouthed fan base among a key group of Colorado conservatives: talk radio hosts. Boebert was a regular guest on Colorado’s largest talk radio station, KNUS 710-AM, as well as competing stations, giving […]
As we’ve discussed in this space before, Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is largely basing his re-election campaign on a vague string of words about how he “believes” in Colorado and “believes” in America, and therefore, you should “believe” in Cory Gardner. It’s a very shallow and silly approach to a re-election campaign, but when your […]

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.

Wayne Laugesen, editorial page editor of the conservative Colorado Springs Gazette, has a well-earned reputation for making the most absurdly misguided observations imaginable in response to just about any news event that’s inconvenient or otherwise uncomfortable for political conservatives in Colorado. Back in 2018, Laugesen responded to controversy over then-GOP gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton’s KKK […]

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 […]

Brought to our attention via local political reporter Sandra Fish, here’s a mailer that hit yesterday in the increasingly nasty HD-22 primary pitting incumbent Rep.

Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign was all about how America was totally the best country ever (or would be, if he were elected). The infamous “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) slogan has since morphed into the logically-inconsistent “Keep America Great” or “Transitioning to Greatness” tagline(s) as Trump’s re-election campaign steams forward. Is America already “great” […]
