The Denver Post reports from the Rocky Mountain Energy Summit underway now at the Colorado Convention Center: Donald Trump’s top energy adviser on Tuesday sought to play down the Republican presidential candidate’s recent comments in Colorado that he could support local efforts to ban hydraulic fracturing, The Wall Street Journal reported. Harold Hamm, chief executive […]

UPDATE: As Politico reports, Trump’s schedule changes are directly related to his new campaign team: The new approach, which includes visits to Florida and Nevada, appears to have the fingerprints of Kellyanne Conway, a respected Republican pollster who was elevated last week to the role of campaign manager and who has been credited for Trump’s […]
UPDATE: For good measure, here’s a clip of Mike Coffman praising Tom Tancredo during the latter’s run for governor in 2010: Listen to the lavish praise from Coffman for Tancredo “standing up” to President Bush’s immigration reform attempts. And ask yourself how this could possibly be the same man vilifying Democrats today by likening them […]
Trump’s Jefferson County co-chair Weston Imer. FOX 31’s Joe St. George: In one of the most important elections of our lifetime, in one of the most important counties in the state, the Donald Trump campaign is relying heavily on a 12 year old to help open a field office. Weston Imer is co-chair of the […]
One of the more significant messaging problems for Colorado Republicans this year during the legislative session was a gaffe committed by Rep. Kevin Priola, now a candidate for the Colorado Senate in closely-divided Senate District 25 in Adams County. Priola was part of a committee debating a bill to expand family leave rights for employees […]
We took note of the photo proudly posted to social media by Republican Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo from a recent campaign swing through Denver by presidential nominee Donald Trump–running in a competitive district full of the kinds of voters likely to find Trump, well, repulsive, Rep. Navarro proudly sucking up to the GOP’s controversial […]
(Sen. Irene Aguilar is a proponent of Amendment 69 – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In 2007 I had the privilege of serving on the Vulnerable Populations Task Force of Colorado’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Health Care Reform (Commission). This is when I first learned that the United States is the only developed nation in the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Sen. Laura Woods wants to be sure you’re clear: @coloradopols It’s a door prize, not a raffle, and it’s not an AR15, it’s an a lower receiver #getthefacts — Senator Woods (@SenLauraWoods) August 19, 2016 —– Desperate for attention and apparently cash starved, one brick shy of a full […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Sometimes it seems that a headline should be too obvious to write, a title too trite and true. The “Dog Bites Man” story. But there it is. And here we are–policy-wise–debating as if it is actually a question whether Colorado’s air quality is harmed by industrial development known to spew methane and volatile compounds. Such is the power […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Face it. When there are only two candidates remaining and one of them is named Trump, you can’t be blamed for panic attacks. After all, something unexpected can occur during any election season that determines the outcome. Another scandal for the Democrats and it may be bedtime for Clinton. Or if […]
Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump is falling rapidly in the polls and flailing wildly everywhere else, so it should come as little surprise that His Hairness is once again making major changes at the top of his campaign. As CNN reports: Donald Trump’s campaign is undergoing a major staff shake-up with less than three months to […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: From NARAL Pro Choice Colorado’s Karen Middleton, we’re watching for coverage of today’s presser: I am here today to restate our opposition and to make it perfectly clear that without comprehensive women’s health care, including insurance coverage for abortion care, this measure will not serve women and families in […]
With Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s next fundraiser in Colorado set for August 25th in Aspen, we just wanted to note again for the record who Trump’s go-to guy for fundraising in our state is once again, not matter what controversy Trump steps in–as the Denver Business Journal reports: Larry Mizel, CEO of Denver-based homebuilder […]

UPDATE #2: Check out this Colorado Springs Gazette story from the weekend–even Sen. Cory Gardner has drunk the proverbial Kool-Aid now: “That’s why I’m voting Republican up and down the ticket. A Republican president will make a difference, even a Republican president named Donald Trump,” said Gardner, who last year accomplished what Glenn hopes to […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s difficult to write about what Rep. Mike Coffman actually believes these these days, because it’s so hard to sort out how he sounds like he’s changed from how he’s actually changed. So a tip of the hat to The Denver Post’s Joey Bunch, who did a good job sorting through […]
Colorado’s most vulnerable Republican incumbent in this crazy 2016 election season, Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora, is without question our state’s greatest political survivalist. Few politicians in our state’s history have had their political constituencies as dramatically reshaped out from under them as Coffman, who was originally elected in 2008 to succeed the hard-right anti-immigrant firebrand […]

CBS4’s Stan Bush reports on a budding scandal involving Colorado GOP U.S. Senate nominee Darryl Glenn, caught on tape in June speculating about the mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub earlier that month: At a candidate forum June 22 the El Paso County commissioner made unsubstantiated claims that President Obama directed the FBI to not […]
