Primary Election Results Open Thread

UPDATE (8:00): El Paso County finally releases their initial results, with Dave Williams getting beaten like a rented mule in the CO-05 primary by Jeff Crank despite turning the Colorado GOP into his personal piggy bank: And in the CO-08 primary, Gabe Evans is taking Donald Trump’s endorsement to the bank. —– UPDATE (7:28): Here’s Taylor […]

In Interviews, Congressional Candidate Evans Says He Supports Mass Deportation — But Only If Interviewers Ask Him Twice

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder GOP Congressional Candidate Gabe Evans has been asked at least three times publicly whether he supports the mass deportation of immigrants, and in each case, he didn’t answer the question on the first try. But in two of the three cases, the interviewer didn’t […]

Sorry Tina Peters, The Republican DA Is Not Persecuting You

The Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby updates on the latest legal maneuvers in the long-awaited felony prosecution of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who has tried every frivolous trick in the book to delay her trial on charges brought by Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein, a (important plot point here) fellow Republican: Former […]

Dave Williams Lies About Spending Republican Party Funds on His Own Campaign

Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams is nothing if not full of shit. Last week Marshall Zelinger of 9News tracked Williams down at a Republican event to ask him a couple of questions, including a series of queries related to the Colorado Republican Party spending money on paid communications in order to help prop up […]

Who Wins What in June? (Vote #4)

We’ve reached the last weekend before the June 25th Primary Election, so it’s time for one last pre-Primary poll of Pols’ readers. Our readers have traditionally been weirdly accurate at predicting the outcomes of big races in Colorado, and results from these polls also tend to give us a good idea of which candidates are […]

James Dobson Focuses On The Primary, Throws Down For Dave Williams

That’s the word in another official email blast this morning from the Colorado Republican Party, retired founder of Colorado Springs’ Focus on the Family religious/political/industrial complex James Dobson is endorsing scandal-plagued party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams to succeed the retiring Rep. Doug Lamborn in Congress: Dr. James Dobson has joined […]

“Lapdog Gabe”–Janak Joshi’s Parting Gift To Gabe Evans?

Colorado’s hottest congressional race in 2024 once again will be the fight for Democrats to defend the evenly-divided CO-08 seat held by incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo from who is expected to be the winner of the Republican primary, freshman state Rep. Gabe Evans. Although Rep. Evans is expected to win the primary election one week […]

Dave Williams is Merely a Symptom of the Republican Rot in Colorado

Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams is not a particularly popular guy at the moment, and for good reason. Since his election as Chair in March 2023, Williams has systematically turned up the volume on hate speech and divisive rhetoric both within the Republican Party and among Colorado voters in general — while at the […]

A Few Words On Lauren Boebert’s “Hot Girl Summer”

One week from tomorrow, the Washington, D.C. Young Republicans are hosting a fundraising event at a swanky Washington, D.C. rooftop bar they’re billing as the “Hot Girl Summer Happy Hour”–featuring Jenn Pellegrino of Newsmax (yes, we had to Google to find out who she is), Ginger Gaetz, the spouse of Rep. Matt “Giggity” Gaetz who […]

Colorado Libertarians Cruising For MAGA Doormat Status

As Ernest Luning of the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, and we confess we probably wouldn’t be discussing at all were it not for the contrary result, the Colorado Libertarian Party has made the decision to not endorse their own party’s nominee for President: Colorado’s Libertarian Party doesn’t plan to submit paperwork putting the […]

“America’s Hangman” Joe Oltmann Hosting Lauren Boebert Campaign Event

This Saturday, carpetbagging quasi-incumbent Rep. Lauren Boebert will be holding a campaign event in Castle Rock, which many Denver metro-area liberals might still be surprised to learn is how close Boebert’s would-be new district is to their own abodes. Accompanying Rep. Boebert at her Castle Rock stop is Rep. Thomas Massie, the ever-cantankerous Kentucky Republican […]

Dave Williams is Ruining Things for All Other Dave Williamses

There is a lot of money being spent in Colorado’s fifth congressional district in a late effort to make sure that Republican State Party Chairman Dave Williams does not win his June 25th Primary race against fellow Republican Jeff Crank. This is both about Williams the congressional candidate and Williams the State GOP Chair, because […]

Not All Republicans Are Calling For Dave Williams’ Head

As the standoff over Colorado Republican Party chairman and congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams’ kleptocratic leadership and attention-seeking appeals to hatred meant to distract and confound his critics barrels toward an as-yet unknown resolution, we’re seeing some pushback now from Christian conservatives who may be in a position to defend Williams in any […]

Okay, But…Republican Talking Points Falling Apart in Face of Reality

WEDNESDAY UPDATE: The good news (for Biden) and bad news (for Republicans) keeps on rolling in. The latest: Inflation in May was ZERO. Nada. Nil. From The Washington Post: Fresh data released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed slight improvement from April, when prices rose at an annual rate of 3.4 percent. […]

Another Gem from the Party of Law and…Whatever

Let’s start with the quote, because that’s the real star of this story: “I am absolutely very strong in fighting crime. We need safe communities, fully funded, and to support our police officers.” Those are actual words from the mouth of Timothy Arvidson, the Republican who has the official endorsement of the Douglas County Republican […]

Buy The Greatest (Or Worst) Trump T-Shirt of 2024 While You Can

As readers may know, Donald Trump’s campaign has instructed Republican campaigns across the country to avoid fundraising appeals that invoke Trump’s recent conviction on 34 felony counts in New York related to the cover-up of Trump’s “hush money” payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. Since the conviction, Trump has reportedly enjoyed a massive influx of […]

Colorado GOP’s Call To Do Hate Crimes Meets Muffled Condemnation At Best

On Monday, the Colorado Republican Party sent out a blast mail to mark the beginning of Pride Month with an over-the-top serving of unvarnished anti-LGBTQ+ vitriol closely resembling the message of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, whose protests at the funerals of soldiers killed in action during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars […]

Friday Updates: Donald Trump is a Convicted Felon

[NOTE: We’ll update this space to continue discussing Thursday’s historic verdict in New York that made Donald Trump the first former President in American history to become a convicted felon.] The verdict is in, and the whining has begun. —– He’s #1! He’s #1! —– As The Washington Post reports, Trump is getting an outpouring […]

“Let’s Roll!” Colorado GOP Promotes Ron Hanks’ MAGA Truck Rally

Colorado Republican Party vice-chair Hope Scheppelman makes good on the state party’s controversial primary endorsement in CO-03 of former state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks, promoting a “Trump MAGA Truck Rally” starring Hanks this Saturday in Grand Junction: Hanks’ opponent Jeff Hurd, who won’t even commit to voting for Trump much less fronting a MAGA truck […]

Jenna Ellis Finally Loses Colorado Law License–For Three Years

As 9NEWS reported yesterday evening, former 2020 coup plotter and member of Donald Trump’s “Elite Strike Force” legal team that sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election Jenna Ellis accepted a second disciplinary agreement from the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel following Ellis’ guilty plea to a felony charge […]

The Patient Has Expired: Righties Kill Attempts to Save Colorado Republican Party

May 21, 2024. We marked it down for you last week: The day that the Colorado Republican Party died. You’ll recall that day as the one in which the Colorado Republican Party sent out an official email calling on all Colorado Republicans to remove their children from public schools post-haste. “All Colorado parents should be […]

Congressman Joe Neguse Getting National Attention for “Meteoric Rise”

Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulderish) was first elected to Congress in 2018 and just turned 40 this month. His resume is already that of someone much older, and national news outlets are increasingly figuring out what Colorado has known for awhile now: Neguse is a rising star. Neguse was just 36-years-old when he served as […]

Caption This Photo: How You Like Me Now, Mike Coffman?

As the Aurora Sentinel reports, the city’s representative in Congress Rep. Jason Crow is in the district this week touting funding he secured through earmarks for important local programs, including $3 million for the Aurora Central Library: Aurora library officials touted a $3 million congressional appropriations contribution, funding a project to provide a new and […]

Let’s Talk About Furries in Schools (Again)!

The outcome of the 2022 race for Governor in Colorado did not hinge on Republican Heidi Ganahl’s bizarre obsession with the ridiculous idea that public schools in Colorado were infested with children dressed up as animals (which she referred to as “furries“). But it certainly didn’t help her cause — and the catshit craziness continues […]

Libertarian Leopards Finally Eat Colorado Republicans’ Faces

As Ernest Luning reports for the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog, a pledge offered by the Colorado Libertarian Party to Republican candidates as part of a deal brokered by Colorado GOP chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams to spare GOP candidates, or not depending on whether they sign, a Libertarian “spoiler” opponent, has resulted in […]
