UPDATE #2: We completely agree: This got me. I like when candidates and elected officials show emotion. It’s not a sign of weakness and shouldn’t be viewed as such. https://t.co/f33xPetI6o — Justin Barasky (@JustinBarasky) March 5, 2020 —– UPDATE: “Not today,” replies @ewarren when asked if she’ll endorse today either @BernieSanders or @JoeBiden. pic.twitter.com/UBvTO1FgzG […]
As far as anyone can tell, Senator. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) is indeed running for re-election in 2020. In Colorado. Gardner’s campaign strategy is just starting to get rolling — we’ve seen hints of it in his rare public comments — and it looks like the narrative is going to be fairly simple: Cory Gardner believes […]

Last year, Colorado passed an innovative “reinsurance” plan to save Coloradans buying insurance as much as 20% or more on their monthly premiums. Families across […]
NBC News reports on good and bad news for Colorado’s #1 enemy of the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, Sen. Cory Gardner–the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments this fall in a case brought by Texas to declare the entire landmark 2010 health reform bill unconstitutional, after legislation passed by the GOP-controlled Congress in […]

(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. Dave Williams (R-CO Springs) made the comment on conservative KNUS radio Feb. 15 during a discussion about a legislative hearing. Williams, who’s the El Paso County […]
As The Washington Post reported Sunday: Pete Buttigieg, the 38-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Ind., who saw a meteoric rise from virtual unknown to top-tier contender and became the first openly gay candidate to make a high-profile presidential run, ended his campaign Sunday as he confronted the reality that his prospects of victory had […]
A short while ago, Senate Bill 20-163, a bill to improve Colorado’s bottom-of-the-nation childhood vaccination rate, won final passage in the Colorado Senate. For those who haven’t been paying attention to the noise over what should be an uncontroversial bill, SB-163 is a compromise measure sponsored by Democratic Rep. Kyle Mullica and Sen. Julie Gonzales […]
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 […]
This week on The Get More Smarter Podcast, we get some fascinating new polling insights from Fawn Bolak (1:10); House Majority Leader Alec Garnett is back to take us through the latest in legislative sausage making (14:16); President Trump makes a bananas visit to Colorado Springs (35:27); and we’re feeling the Bern — whether we like […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner said this morning that he doesn’t want people to play politics with the coronavirus outbreak. He did so while ignoring the massive public health budget cuts in recent years and his own history of using the Ebola outbreak for political gain. Earlier today on KOA 850-AM, Gardner […]
It’s Pretty Good Thursday! We’re four days away from Super Tuesday, but two days away from finding out the results of the Democratic Presidential Primary in South Carolina, so it’s time once again to ask Colorado Pols readers to predict the future. We’ll post another online poll early next week to see how these projections […]
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.

There’s been an unusual shortage of polling of the Democratic presidential primary race in Colorado with Super Tuesday now just a week away–so a new poll from Dem pollster Data For Progress is getting a rush of interest this afternoon: After his victory in the Nevada caucuses, Sanders is leading in Colorado and Virginia. Sanders […]
There was a time when Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) was called a “happy warrior” who worked hard on creating the perception that he was a smiling, sunny, cheery politician. This persona served him well in 2014, when Gardner won a narrow victory over incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. These days, the “happy warrior” has […]
As originally reported earlier this month by Fox News, and we wanted to be sure to mention this before it slips down the memory hole: Republicans in the House and the Senate are introducing legislation that would block federal funds from states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses — the latest move in […]

As Greg Sargent and Paul Waldman write for The Washington Post: The White House appears to have informed Democrats that they want to fund the emergency response in part by taking money from a program that funds low income home heating assistance. A document that the Trump administration sent to Congress, which we have seen, […]
Here’s the latest data for returned ballots in the swiftly upcoming March 3rd presidential primary from Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold: With a week remaining in our state’s mail ballot primary, Republicans are well ahead of Democrats and unaffiliated voters. In one respect that isn’t unusual, since Republicans almost always see an initial surge […]
(“Tar Baby” Doug strikes again! – Promoted by Colorado Pols) U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) thinks “gullible” minorities believe lies about voter suppression from Democrats. Lamborn made the comments Thursday on a conservative talk-radio show in Colorado Springs. “The Democrats lie when they say, ‘Oh, this is to suppress votes,’ or ‘This is to hurt […]

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 […]
