This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with Professor Seth Masket, Director of the Center for American Politics at the University of Denver, about the 2020 election results and his new book, “Learning from Loss: The Democrats, 2016-2020.” Masket’s book analyzes how and why Democrats ended up […]
(No peace among the losers – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Outgoing House Minority Leader Patrick Neville chose not to run for a second term leading the Colorado House Republicans, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still willing to speak his mind publicly. Whether on social media or talk radio, Neville, who’s never been one to […]
President Donald Trump’s all-caps rage Tweet went out to his 88 million followers yesterday: “REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.” @ChanelRion @OANN — Donald J. […]
UPDATE: In his column for The Denver Post, soon-to-be-former District Attorney George Brauchler explains that there was no blue wave in Colorado because Republican Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert was elected to a Congressional seat that Republicans already held and Democrats only won one extra battle in the State Senate: The Blue Wave redux appears to have […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Written by Madeleine Schmidt & Erik Maulbetsch After a decade in Washington as a public official, Colorado’s Republican Senator Cory Gardner is going home. The hundreds of judges he voted to approve, however, many of whom are anti-choice extremists, will continue their work interpreting American law for decades to come. Gardner’s […]
Over on the alt-facts social media network Parler, former state Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch is up front about how he feels the 2020 elections have gone (Biblical reference above). But Harvey, whose job since the Colorado General Assembly has been running so-called “Scam PACs” that spend most of their raised funds on overhead […]

“I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.” –Dwight D. Eisenhower
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Republicans are asking their supporters for donations to investigate election fraud, but apparently only in those races they lost or are still too close to call. Two days after the election the state party used the still as-yet undecided race for District Attorney in the 18th Judicial District as a […]
We took note back in June of a very odd decision by then-State Senate candidate Suzanne Staiert to request space for an Op-Ed to attack a reporter who wrote a story for that same publication. As we wrote at the time, it’s never a good idea to publicly attack a reporter and draw more attention […]
With most of planet Earth outside of Russia, China, and the Republican Party congratulating President-elect Joe Biden on his hard-won victory over Donald Trump in last week’s election, Trump’s refusal to concede and the Republican “dead enders” raging on against hope that some development may yet be uncovered mandating a do-over, or Trump getting another […]
TUESDAY UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark had some words of praise last night for Rep. Terri Carver, the only Republican lawmaker in the photo you can see below wearing a face mask as is mandatory in indoor public spaces. Commentary: A word on courage, and the one Republican, Rep. Terri Carver, who wore a mask today […]
The world may be celebrating Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in last week’s presidential elections, but as readers know there is a faction of hardcore Trump “dead enders” clinging to every word from Rudy Giuliani is what is overwhelmingly considered to be false hope that some late-breaking revelation might swing the election. Reportedly, close […]
The Hill: Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday pushed back against President Trump’s baseless claim that the election is being stolen, warning that his rhetoric is only inflaming partisan tensions. Romney, in a statement posted to Twitter, said the president was “right” to “exhaust legal remedies,” including asking for recounts and that alleged voting irregularities […]
UPDATE 5:20PM: In a speech best described as incoherent and so packed with misinformation that most news networks cut away early on, President Donald Trump again declared himself the winner of the 2020 election and vowed “tremendous litigation” would put a stop to “illegal voting”–for which no evidence exists: "It's amazing how those mail-in ballots […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s veteran political reporter Charles Ashby reports, Republican Rep.-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert did the thing every winning candidate has to do–run up the score in your strongholds (with one notable exception, see below), and don’t lose too badly in the places you’re going to lose: Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush didn’t pull […]
“Patience is not simply the ability to wait – it’s how we behave while we’re waiting.” –Joyce Meyer
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After truly devastating losses in 2018 and again this year, the Colorado GOP is left with only one Republican who’s been elected by a statewide vote in Colorado. That’s little-known University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, who won her statewide “at large” position on CU’s governing board in 2016. Democrats will […]
John Ingold writes for the Colorado Sun: For the first time in 84 years in Colorado and for only the fourth time in state history, Democrats have won … everything. The governor’s mansion. The secretary of state’s, treasurer’s and attorney general’s offices. Both chambers of the state legislature. The balance of power in the state’s […]
(Another decisive win for reproductive choice in Colorado – Promoted by Colorado Pols) In a hard-won victory for supporters of reproductive rights in Colorado and across the nation, Proposition 115 was soundly defeated today by Colorado voters. As of 9 p.m., 59.8 percent of voters rejected the measure, with nearly 80 percent of precincts reporting. […]
Republican Sen. Cory Gardner also lost his U.S. Senate seat today, leaving CU Regent Heidi Ganahl as the last Republican elected to a statewide office in Colorado. (Promoted by Colorado Pols) Richard Murray, a Republican running for a seat on the board that controls the University of Colorado, centered his campaign, in part, on warning […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Sen. Kerry Donovan, a Democrat, tweeted a photo today showing U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and congressional candidate Lauren Boebert, both maskless and in violation of a Garfield County, Colorado, requirement that “facial coverings” be worn “in all settings, both indoor and outdoor.” “Garfield County has a mask mandate — […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With the election so close, and Trump driving so many voters away from Republicans, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) promise to speak out against his own party stands out among everything he’s said from 2014 till today. It’s been oft-repeated, but how can it not top Gardner’s quote list? “When my […]
The Hill’s Julia Manchester reports as the clock ticks down to the final hours of Sen. Cory Gardner’s all-but-over-but-the-shouting re-election campaign–a final pitch from Gardner making a comparison that has Democrats seeing red: Gardner is one of the most vulnerable incumbent Republican senators. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as “lean Democratic.” The […]
