That’s in a fundraising email from GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn’s campaign this afternoon–and as you all know, fundraising emails never lie: My liberal opponent, Senator Michael Bennet, thinks he’s too good for you. Typical Washington insider. That’s why he spends a lot of his time in DC, not Colorado. That’s why he’s pulled […]
I’ve previously chronicled the various positions of Colorado Republicans on Trump, but this time I ran into problems categorizing their stances. As you’ll see below, there’s Never Trump, Dumped Trump, Maybe Trump, Love Trump, and many more. It’s confusing to be the bean counter (me), but it’s undoubtedly far more taxing to be them, trying to […]

UPDATE #4: Colorado GOP chairman Steve House re-kisses the ring: —- UPDATE #3: Denver7’s Mark Belcher reports: After calling on the Republican nominee for President to step aside, U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn has gone back on his decision to not vote for Donald Trump. Glenn, who is a Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Colorado, […]

UPDATE: Apparently we woke up Tipton from his weekend nap so that he could be clear he WILL STILL BE SUPPORTING TRUMP. Good thing Tipton demanded an apology (Trump has already apologized, for whatever that’s worth). JUST IN: @ScottRTipton calls @realDonaldTrump taped remarks “shocking and appalling,” calls for apology, will vote for Trump. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/tzXtaBaTtt — Ernest […]
SATURDAY UPDATE #2: The word of the day in Republican circles is “panic.” Top #copolitics GOP consultant: “It’s an absolute panic today,” worried it could get much worse. #coleg — Ernest Lee Luning (@eluning) October 8, 2016 Donald Trump pulls ads from Colorado, other battleground states https://t.co/hFSy3zbTEJ pic.twitter.com/XlWFntOslV — The Denver Post (@denverpost) October 8, 2016 […]

The Colorado Independent’s Marianne Goodland reported earlier this year that Republican state senate candidate Nancy Doty had yet to formulate a stance on whether state lawmakers should reclassify the hospital provider fee as an enterprise fund, freeing up over $300 in tax money for roads, schools, and other projects. Goodland reported: The hospital provider fee […]

As the Colorado Independent’s Corey Hutchins reports, it’s a milestone not seen by very many in Colorado politics today–and for the younger members of the political class, not even in their lifetimes: With two weeks until ballots drop in Colorado, new voter registration data show there are more registered Democrats than Republicans here for the […]

New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte is in the midst of a tough re-election fight. She faces Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan in one of the handful of remaining states that will ultimately decide which party controls the majority in 2017. On Monday, Ayotte made a high-profile verbal gaffe — which her campaign later clarified — about whether or not Donald Trump […]
UPDATE: Pete Maysmith at Conservation Colorado’s statement: This is just another example on the never-ending list of how wrong Trump is for Colorado and our values. From not being able to articulate a plan for protecting our public lands to saying he would appoint an oil executive to the Interior Department and now this, Trump […]

Back in August, we took Denver Post editorial board chair Chuck Plunkett to task over a factually off-base opinion piece, oddly imploring underperforming GOP U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn to attack his Democratic opponent over the then-headline story of a supposed $400 million “ransom” (his choice of words) paid to Iran–monies paid “in exchange,” so the talk […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) There is something to be said for the strategy of owning the names you are called to defuse the bite of what otherwise might be an insult. But, it is still a stunningly bad idea for a country’s highest elected official, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, to compare himself to Adolph Hitler, […]
“Millennial”, why does that word make me grit my teeth? Recently I saw a news clip of a Veteran trying to get millennial Pokemon players away from a Veterans Memorial where their stupid characters were placed in a virtual game world. One millennial can be heard saying, “I’d take a punch to get these crazy […]
UPDATE: Another damning fact-check of a pro-Mike Coffman ad from 9NEWS today, this one based on false claims we discussed in this space last week: Republican Rep. Mike Coffman hopes his latest television ad convinces voters his Democratic opponent, state Sen. Morgan Carroll, can’t be trusted. The four-term incumbent’s 30-second spot claims Carroll – who […]
UPDATE: The Trump campaign is apparently considering asking New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to become Trump’s new “debate whisperer.” From CNN: Such a move — should it happen — would reflect an understanding by Trump and his campaign leadership that the first debate went poorly. That sentiment was expressed to CNN by multiple sources close to […]
