Well, Did You Vote for Trump?

As CNN reports, Maine Sen. Susan Collins won’t say if she voted today for Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for President, which is as good as saying that she did not: GOP Sen.

NBC News reports on good and bad news for Colorado’s #1 enemy of the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, Sen.

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A Colorado Springs Republican lawmaker is standing behind his radio comment that his House Democratic colleagues are “anti-Christian,” saying they attack “family values.” State Rep.

Trump Thinks Maybe Coronavirus Will Just “Go Away”

The Trump administration has not put the United States in a strong position to respond positively to the coronavirus outbreak. In recent years, Trump has disbanded groups formed to handle disease outbreaks such as Ebola, and has proposed cutting the parts of the budgets at NSC, DHS, and Health and Human Services designated for fighting […]

We’ll post another online poll early next week to see how these projections […]

Ted Harvey’s “ScamPAC” Hits The Big Time!

UPDATE: Former Sen. Ted Harvey is just kind of saying whatever he wants to in response to the controversy he created, assuming there’s no such thing as bad publicity–telling the Washington Post: “It took President Trump to lower black unemployment and create jobs for the African American community, in addition to passing criminal justice reform.

We were forwarded a lengthy Facebook rant from Republican Sen.

Cory’s “Liberal Heckler Antifa Asshole”-Free Tea Party “Town Hall”

Jimi Mack, President of the North Jeffco Tea Party, alerts us to an event last Saturday featuring one of the most infamously elusive politicians in Colorado political history–Sen. Cory Gardner, whose lack of public availability going into his uphill re-election campaign has been the subject of much unfavorable news coverage. The good news, says North […]

Paid Family Leave Goes Sideways: Just Pass a Damn Bill

TUESDAY UPDATE: The editorial board of The Denver Post shares similar sentiments: Why is that so concerning? It’s a symptom of the times where our political parties are discouraging compromise and favoring a my-way-or-the-highway mentality. The art of compromise is something that Colorado politicians are acclaimed for embracing and the last thing Coloradans should want is […]

Elizabeth Warren Barnstorms Through Denver

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The rally began with a preemptive apology: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) wouldn’t have time to do her customary post-rally selfie session; she had to rush to catch a plane to South Carolina ahead of next week’s primary. If the nearly 4,000 enthusiastic fans at Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium were disappointed, they didn’t […]

New Polling Loaded With More Bad News For Colorado GOP

Global Strategy Group, a nationwide public relations and comms firm, released new polling data via local liberal activist group ProgressNow Colorado reinforcing what a host of recent polls in Colorado have already corroborated: enduring Democratic majority “generic ballot” support from Colorado voters, the continuing deep unpopularity of President Donald Trump, and vulnerable incumbent GOP Sen.
