We’ve been keeping track in this space of Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-Yuma) slow waffle on supporting President Trump’s “emergency declaration” so that he can hijack other funds to build his great big wall.

As CNN reports: Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia […]
(Do tell – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former State Sen. Tim Neville (R-Littleton) blames his loss in November’s election, in part, on “some of the worst execution” he’s seen by fellow Republicans who ran separate campaigns in support of Neville.

(Not a great plan — promoted by Colorado Pols) Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has one dim path to retaining his seat in next year’s election: Hope like heck that President Trump becomes popular in Colorado. Oh, there’s another way too: if Trump isn’t on the 2020 ballot, but let’s just call that impossible. But who […]
We noted last week that Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) told at least one interviewer that he had personally talked to President Trump about the latter’s plan for an emergency declaration for border wall funding.

The talk of the Colorado politics water-cooler set this Friday morning is a deep-dive from Marianne Goodland of the Phil Anschutz-owned Colorado Springs Gazette, covering in two detailed stories the intra-party division among legislative Republicans in the wake of the devastating 2018 wave election that gave Colorado Democrats almost unprecedented power at every level of […]

The conservative polling outfit Magellan Strategies, which is based in Colorado, recently queried Colorado Republicans in an effort to “learn how Republican voters want to move forward.” What Magellan found is that Colorado Republicans are totally and completely hosed for at least the next couple of years. As Ernest Luning writes for the publication formerly […]
Following up on a story we’ve been watching in the Colorado House, where a hard-right Republican representative “went rogue” against the state party leadership with legislation to outlaw the charging of so-called “badge fees” in order to participate in the Republican Party’s county, district, and state assemblies. Despite strong support across the aisle from Democrats […]
(What more can we add? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Nearly three hundred people showed up at the Capitol last week to speak against a relatively narrow bill concerning sex education.
