Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) waited to publicly offer his thoughts on impeachment until one hour before the Senate began voting on articles of impeachment against President Trump. After the jump below, you can read the full transcript of Gardner’s remarks from today on the Senate floor…along with a few annotations from Colorado Pols.
UPDATE #5 (2:25 pm): Sen. Cory Gardner has voted to acquit President Donald Trump on both articles of impeachment. The idea that we would turn our back and close our eyes to evidence pounding on the outside of the doors of this Capitol is pitiful. It is disgraceful. And it will be a stain on […]

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) finally reported his Q4 2019 fundraising numbers this afternoon. They are positively shocking. Gardner raised just more than $2 million in Q4 — or about 40% less than Democratic challenger John Hickenlooper ($2.8 million raised in Q4). Gardner’s $2,030,797 end-of-year filing includes $334,000 in committee transfers, meaning that his campaign only actually raised […]
Former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, one of many candidates seeking the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in 2020, filed his Q4 2019 fundraising report this afternoon… It’s not good. Romanoff reported raising about $313,000 in the last three months of 2019, leaving his campaign with roughly $686,000 cash on hand to start 2020. He also reported […]

The Denver Post’s editorial board has followed a long and winding road with Colorado’s junior U.S. Senator Cory Gardner: from their controversial endorsement of Gardner in 2014, through the agonizing and lengthy process of calling Gardner out in the countless instances in which Gardner broke promises and voted against most of the paper’s stated editorial […]
UPDATE (7:15 pm): The Washington Post confirms earlier reporting from the Wall Street Journal: Several Republican senators up for reelection this November and facing tough campaigns — including Sens.

Republican Judy Reyher, the unabashed racist who was briefly a state legislator in HD-47 until voters decided, “no, thanks,” has removed herself from consideration for a State House seat in 2020. We noted last November that Reyher and her technicolor dreamcoat were hoping to make a comeback in the state legislature, but that campaign was […]
Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade reports while anyone paying attention picks their jaw up off the floor: President Trump said he’s happy with the way the impeachment trial is going thus far because his administration has not released “materials” that would hurt his cause. “When we released that conversation all hell broke out with the Democrats,” […]
Over the weekend, the New York Times published a long, comprehensive story about the curious inaccessibility and general invisibility of Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma). They keep expecting to see Senator Cory Gardner everywhere — on the local Fox affiliates in Colorado, on Facebook, on literature crammed inside their mailboxes. They are voters who wear […]
“Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” –Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We noted last summer that Weld County voters were in for a wild game of musical chairs in 2020. It looks like the fun is going to get started a bit earlier than anticipated. Term-limited Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway is resigning his position effective Jan. 31, which means a short-term replacement must be selected […]
