QAnon Troubles Go From Bad to Worse for Boebert

We’ve been tracking in this space the troubles for Republican Congressional candidate Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert over her previous comments of support for the controversial ‘QAnon’ movement. For obvious reasons, Boebert can’t seem to shake questions about her love for QAnon, and her campaign hasn’t figured out a good way out of this conundrum: Does she […]

Boebert Apparently Broke the Law by Allowing a Juvenile to Carry a Gun at her Diner

(Sounds like exactly the kind of decision-making that Republicans need in Congress — promoted by Colorado Pols) In apparent violation of state and federal law, Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert allowed an under-age server at her restaurant in Rifle to carry a gun. Boebert, who toppled Congressman Scott Tipton in a Republican primary last month, […]

Way Too Obvious: Gardner, NRSC Good Cop/Bad Cop False Ad

UPDATE: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) calls Cory Gardner out: “Why did it take Senator Gardner days to answer for this ‘horrifying’ ad that exploits a family’s unimaginable trauma for his own political gain?” said DSCC spokesperson Helen Kalla. “His cowardly claim that he doesn’t have the ‘power’ to remove this ad is a […]

Will Gardner Be Left Holding the Bag on Pendley?

Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has been an unapologetic supporter of Donald Trump since the Big Orange Guy was elected President in 2016. Trump famously confirmed Gardner’s loyalty at a Colorado Springs rally in February when he told the crowd that Gardner “has been with us 100%” before adding, “There was no waver with Cory and […]

9NEWS on NRSC Ad: This Claim Smells Like 💩

Last week, a TV spot from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was roundly condemned for audaciously misleading viewers about the 2017 explosion of a home in Firestone caused by oil and gas company negligence that claimed the lives of two people and badly injured two others. Erin Martinez, one of the survivors of the […]

Will These Be The Words Cory Gardner Regrets Most?

“The president took unprecedented action at the very front end of coronavirus.” The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) brings us the damning four seconds of video you can see above, from a longer social media video highlighting some of the most poorly-aged words to be found in 2020 political parlance–endangered Senate Republicans praising President Donald […]

“Play-In” at Greenwood Village City Hall, and more ways you can fight back this week (July 20)

As you’ve probably heard by now, after the passage by the City of Greenwood Village of Resolution 40-20, an ordinance to shield Greenwood Village Police officers from civil liability for misconduct in protest of a new police accountability law in Colorado, nationally prominent artists with ties to Colorado have called on the city to overturn […]

Ken Buck: Reality is Dumb

Two years ago, Democrats absolutely demolished Republicans up and down the ballot in Colorado. To just about anyone with functioning eyeballs, the 2020 election looks equally bleak for the State GOP. In 2020, the top of the ticket for the GOP — President Trump and Sen. Cory Gardner — is about as popular as leprosy […]

Big Oil’s Presumption Of Your Stupidity Is Apparently Endless

Bizwest’s Dan Mika via the Greeley Tribune has a story up today with what may honestly be the dumbest headline you’ll see this week, and in 2020 that is no small achievement: That’s right, readers, with a straight face, Dan Haley of the Colorado Oil and gas Association wants you to believe that a 2019 […]

The Madness of “Mask Resistance”

Yesterday, as readers know, Gov. Jared Polis announced a statewide order requiring everyone to wear face masks in public–an order that came after a controversially lengthy delay, in which Gov. Polis hesitated to mandate masks like many other states including politically conservative strongholds like Texas and Alabama have already done in response to renewed growth […]

Beyond Belief: NRSC Won’t Take Down Firestone Explosion Ad

UPDATE: Gov. John Hickenlooper’s campaign joins the call to pull the ad off the air: Erin Martinez is absolutely correct — Washington Republicans must take down their ‘horrifying’ and false attack and stop exploiting this tragedy and distorting the facts to score political points.” Here is the truth. As Governor, Hickenlooper held oil and gas […]

Republicans Play Fiddle While COVID Battle Is Lost

UPDATE: CPR reports that Gov. Jared Polis has finally issued a statewide mask order: After pleading, prodding, cajoling, using both friendly and harsh language, and appealing to the better civic sensibilities of Coloradans everywhere, Gov. Jared Polis has finally done what he’s been resistant to do. The governor has issued a statewide face mask order. […]

Hickenlooper Reports Another Monster Fundraising Quarter

UPDATE: Gardner raised $3.6 million in Q2, meaning Hickenlooper has now outraised the incumbent in three consecutive fundraising quarters. Gardner has $10.7 million cash on hand, which is about $1 million more than he had in the bank after Q1; in other words, Gardner’s burn rate is not great. Hickenlooper has $4.6 million cash on […]

Colo Republicans Joining Social Platform Parler, a “Safe Haven” For Those Too Extreme for Twitter

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Following the lead of Trump administration officials and campaign staff, several Colorado Republicans are joining the conservative social media site Parler, which is best known for allowing users to post misinformation or extreme statements typically blocked by Twitter or Facebook. Newsweek calls Parler “a safe haven for anyone too extreme, racist […]

After Voting to Save the ACA, McCain Advised Listening to Governors, like Hick

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Three years ago this month, after the downward-pointing thumb of John McCain put an end to the last of three Republican attempts to kill Obamacare, the Arizona senator issued a statement with ideas on how America could move forward to improve its health care system. Among McCain’s suggestions: “heed the recommendations […]

Florida. Outside. In August.

Last month, Republicans moved (part) of their 2020 National Convention from Charlotte, NC to Jacksonville, FL, in order to make it easier for non-mask wearing fans of Donald Trump to cheer their Dear Leader when he accepts the GOP nomination for President. The 2020 Republican National Convention has already been called a “dumpster fire,” but […]

Biden Does What Gardner Tries to Do

As we’ve discussed in this space before, Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is largely basing his re-election campaign on a vague string of words about how he “believes” in Colorado and “believes” in America, and therefore, you should “believe” in Cory Gardner. It’s a very shallow and silly approach to a re-election campaign, but when your […]

The Get More Smarter Podcast: Post-Primary Podcasting

This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s Post-Primary-Processing-Pallooza! A local gun group pulls the trigger and a tiny little flag that says BANG pops out of the barrel; Cory Gardner wears a mask; Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert wears a gun; we tempt the fates by attempting to be light hearted about the coronavirus; even […]

What you can do to fight back this week (July 13)

Donald Trump says Cory Gardner is with him 100%—”no waver.” Last Friday, Trump commuted the sentence of his close associate Roger Stone, who was convicted of a felony for lying to Congress in order to protect Trump. It’s a betrayal of basic American values so egregious that even […]

Lauren Boebert Is (Still) Playing Footsie With QAnon

As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Dennis Webb reports, the reality of June 30th’s biggest surprise in Colorado, the defeat of five-term incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton by upstart candidate Lauren Boebert, is sinking in with Republicans in CD-3–and although plenty of Republicans are gamely expressing excitement about Boebert, beneath the obligatory smiles there’s growing realization that […]

What The Hell Is Wrong With Douglas County Republicans?

UPDATE: Douglas County Republicans say they’re sorry if you’re offended, otherwise known as the weakest of apologies: To note, Allen said he is responsible for the content of the Facebook Page. @SheriffSpurlock, Douglas County's Republican Sheriff, called on whoever in leadership responsible for the post to immediately resign. — Steve Staeger (@SteveStaeger) July 13, 2020 […]
