The Colorado legislature will reconvene in about a month (January 10, 2024, to be exact), and it will likely kick things off with a different clown in charge of the circus that is the House Republican caucus. The current Chief Clown is House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, but Lynch has been widely expected to run […]

We told you this was coming. Early last month, we took note of a story in the conservative-leaning Washington Examiner, a news site owned by Colorado billionaire and major Republican funder Phil Anschutz along with local newspapers including the Colorado Springs Gazette, critically assessing the damage done to vexatiously vulnerable GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert by […]
For a keynote speech Thursday to attendees of a right-wing conference featuring major conservative and religious right organizations, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was tapped to explain how the conservative ideas explored at the conference “can be implemented in the Denver community,” and “how can these concepts work in a city as ideologically diverse as Denver?” […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The chair of the Colorado Republican Party says he doesn’t want civil war, but he’s sees one in America’s future under two scenarios: one, if courts remove Trump’s name from the ballot or, two, if “they’re successfully able to keep engaging” in blatant election fraud (even though Williams or other Republicans […]

As Colorado Newsline’s Sara Wilson reported before the holiday break, the Colorado Republican Party’s Chairman of the Ballot and Election Security Committee, a position originally offered to indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters now held by no-less infamous election denier and January 6th insurrection spectator former state Rep. “Raging” Ron Hanks, sent a letter to […]
This morning, Colorado’s America’s most vulnerable incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert did something she in her term and a half in Congress has almost never done for local candidates who (at least at one time) could have used her help–an endorsement, not just for a fellow Republican but wading into a safe-seat GOP primary in […]
The Denver Nuggets are the defending NBA Champions. The Colorado Avalanche are a Stanley Cup contender in 2024. The Denver Broncos may have finally turned things around and are currently riding a 4-game winning streak. The moribund Colorado Rockies, sadly, are still terrible, but they can nevertheless manage to eke out a win every now […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Caitlyn Kim reports, the long sordid saga of serial fabulist who somehow managed to become GOP Rep. George Santos may finally be coming to an end after a damning Ethics Committee investigative report basically accused Santos of turning his entire campaign operation into a personal slush fund. Although Santos narrowly survived […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ask many Colorado Republicans about their thoughts on U.S. elections, and you will hear a variety of answers. Some, like failed 2022 gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, refuse to say in public what they told supporters in private. Others raise doubts about specific aspects of past elections, such as mail-in ballots or […]
As NPR reports, yet another long-sought goal of the hardliner Freedom Caucus, the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, died yesterday after a deja vu-inducing eight Republicans joined with Democrats to circular file the measure into committee oblivion: The House voted Monday to push off a Republican effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro […]
The Colorado Republican Party today not only announced its censure of state Sen. Larry Liston (R-Colo Springs), but called on him to resign immediately. The censure addresses his filing of a criminal complaint against the husband the El Paso County party chair Vickie Tonkins, following an altercation between them at a county party meeting […]
South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott will not be the GOP nominee for President in 2024. And once again, former Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner will not be a close adviser to the next occupant of the White House. Fresh off another bizarre performance in last week’s Republican Presidential debate, Scott surprised his campaign staff on […]
Hi all; I am writing an application for the Democratic Party (i.e. the good guys) to manage volunteer events. It has a component for volunteers and a component for campaign managers. I need your feedback! First off, please do not reply if you have not volunteered nor have managed volunteer activities for a campaign. Events […]
As the Washington Post’s Jacqueline Alemany reported this morning, newly-elected Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson broke some tough but long-due news this week to members of his caucus who have spent the year determined to impeach President Joe Biden with or (as it turns out) without evidence: it’s not happening. In a closed-door […]
We thought about doing a “Winners and Losers” post after yesterday’s election results, but we could have just listed “Republicans” in the “Losers” section and called it a day. The 2023 election was again a pretty terrible night to be a right-wing conservative — not just In Colorado but across the country — and produced […]
It’s been just over ten years since the last comprehensive site redesign of Colorado Pols, which is longer than several generations of competitors who came and went during the same time period–illustrating the point that without the product, the packaging isn’t what matters. Nonetheless in the last ten years there have been innumerable updates to […]
Last Thursday, as 9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger reports, retiring GOP Rep. “KenSNBC” Buck testified remotely from Washington in the Denver District Court trial seeking to disqualify ex-President Donald Trump from the 2024 Colorado primary ballot for his role in inciting the January 6th, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the associated plot to deny Joe […]
Yesterday morning, ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos hosted Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who very briefly was the frontrunner to become the next Republican Speaker of the House before his bid fell apart, to talk about what happened and what comes next. Stephanopoulos played a short clip of Colorado’s soon-to-be former Rep. Ken Buck condemning […]
UPDATE (FRIDAY): The executive director of the “no compromise” gun fetish rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) took issue with the cost of body armor that we found online. If there is a point to this argument from Taylor Rhodes, we must have missed it: —– [mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”60%”]“We had the potential for […]
Seth Klamann of The Denver Post reports on some great news coming out a new budget proposal unveiled Wednesday by Gov. Jared Polis: Gov. Jared Polis proposed fully funding Colorado’s public education system for the first time in 14 years Wednesday, even as he unveiled a budget plan that he said signaled a return to […]
“From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me.” –Ludovico Ariosto
Congressman Ken Buck (R-Greeley) announced today that he would not seek a sixth term in 2024, which is something that we predicted both on Colorado Pols and the Get More Smarter Podcast in early August. Buck had apparently grown weary of complaining about things, taking multiple positions on every issue, and then contributing absolutely nothing […]
