KDVR FOX 31 Denver reports on a proposal from a Colorado Republican for which we think there ought to be unanimous support, in light of headlines coast to coast and flyover states too–but for one little problem: Whether it be Bill O’Reilly, Harvey Weinstein, Roy Moore or Steve Lebsock, the topic is dominating Colorado airwaves. […]
Tom Tancredo and Cynthia Coffman are in, and George Brauchler is out. There’s been lots of upheaval in the 2018 race for Governor in the last couple of weeks, so lets reset the field as we near the end of the year. Here’s our latest look at the State of the Race (for the State). […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Gordon Klingenschmitt spent a week in Alabama promoting his old friend, Judge Roy Moore. Former HD15 Representative Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt, working his $1.3 million* a year hustle, alt-right “news program”, Pray in Jesus’ Name News, ran a 5 part series promoting his old friend and mentor, Alabama Senate candidate and […]
So you are going to take a trip to Mexico. What are the two pieces of advice that friends who care about you will give? Be careful! Don’t drink the water. For sixty years I have heard that you can’t drink the water in Mexico without getting sick. Sixty years… and it is still the […]
Ow. Here’s some things I learned this week. Or at least I heard ’em. I only got one black eye, so supposedly there’s hope for me yet. If you can get a carry permit (CCW or Open) and don’t, you’re just as responsible for the innocent deaths as the shooter. Ow. If you got […]
Last week the Denver Post pulled out its own sad trumpet for Republican George Brauchler, who has driven his gubernatorial campaign off a cliff with awful fundraising numbers and then had a piano dropped on his corpse by Tom Tancredo. The Post story also suggested that Brauchler may be considering changing horses in mid-cycle in order to run for […]
Local blogger and Tweetizen Chase Woodruff put together a collage of result headlines from last night’s local elections with their matching Denver Post endorsements and…well, safe to say it was not a good night for editorial board editor Chuck Plunkett and his crew of hot-takin’ civic concern trolls: Wow, the state’s newspaper of record has totally got […]
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman has been hemming and hawing about running for Governor for more than a year now. On Wednesday, Coffman finally made it official: She will seek the Republican nomination for Governor in 2018. As the Denver Post explains: Coffman long considered entering the governor’s race and traveled the country in recent months to […]
UPDATE 7:35PM: Depart Ed Gillespie, for Donald Trump never knew thee: Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before! — Donald J. Trump […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Republicans and Democrats alike should face the fact that a circular firing squad is unavoidable in a primary campaign with more than one candidate, much less six going on seven, which is the number of Republicans running for governor. The core problem is, there will always be disagreement about when a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Trump War on the Environment continues, with a steady barrage of roll backs, anti-science flak, funding attacks, and rhetorical bombast that threaten our most cherished public lands, bedrock public health protections, and century-old conservation laws. Easing the way for corporate interests to profit from the public lands, the Trump administration […]
We’re not making that up–flagging GOP gubernatorial candidate George Brauchler really Tweeted his support for making electric cars cost more, qualifier-free–a strange campaign plank to say the least: House GOP tax bill could make EVs more expensive in a hurry. CO should look to do the same. #EV https://t.co/I80679jhfH pic.twitter.com/0z08B62MlN — George Brauchler (@GeorgeBrauchler) November […]
Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams’ press shop, which is headed by a former Denver Post reporter, runs a blog they use to promote all kinds of stories–some of which seem a little outside the SoS’s purview, but generally the reporter in question gets forgiven due to genial relations with both sides of the aisle. […]
We wrote yesterday about how Tom Tancredo’s entry in the Republican gubernatorial race is strangling the campaign of Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler, and today the Denver Post picks up on a similar theme in a story that is all kinds of sad for Team Brauchler. Denver Post reporter John Frank confirms a story from Ernest Luning about the […]
Former Congressman Tom Tancredo is kicking off his 2018 gubernatorial campaign today with a string of events around the state, and his very presence is already shaking up the rest of the Republican field. As Ernest Luning reports this afternoon for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, George Brauchler is making some significant — and perhaps […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo entered the race yesterday promising to run the “ugliest” campaign ever, Denver7’s Blair Miller reports: Firebrand and former congressman Tom Tancredo will again run for governor of Colorado in 2018, in what will be his third straight try at the seat and what he says will be the “ugliest” race […]

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” –Isaac Asimov
As the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Marianne Goodland reports, the hits just keep coming for the once-and-again poster child for Colorado Republican nuttery, Sen. Vicki Marble–this time with an ethics complaint over a questionable town hall she hosted in Feburary with monetary help from a drilling company proposing controversial operations in her district moving forward: The […]
(Does this mean Tancredo is on the Trump “not naughty” list? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo spent at least part of Saturday with Donald Trump, Jr., and others hunting pheasants with Steve King, a Republican Congressman from Iowa. “Hunting pheasants this beautiful day with Congressman Steve King and Donald Trump, […]

Following up a story you heard about first here at Colorado Pols, 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger gets the full scoop on bizarre election-related signage that popped up in the north Denver suburb of Northglenn last week–signs that instructed voters to “CALL POLICE” if someone knocks on your door asking about your ballot. You know, that thing […]
