As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Joe Vaccarelli reports, Republican faithful looking to act on their frustrations over the massive defeat for their party in the 2018 elections and the resulting loss of any power to stall legislation passed by the Colorado General Assembly have a few options beyond the most obvious and probably best choice […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Since he voted in support of Trump’s national-emergency declaration, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) has been “back in Colorado attending private events but hasn’t hosted a public town hall,” reported Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland last week. In fact, Gardner hasn’t held a public town hall meeting since Nov. 20, 2017, […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Gardner’s statement on release of Mueller report: ““I have consistently said the Mueller investigation should be allowed to reach a conclusion, and I’m grateful the Special Counsel has finished the investigation and submitted a report today. The American people have a right to know the outcome of this investigation and […]
On Thursday Wednesday, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper took the spotlight in the race to become the Democratic nominee for President in 2020 when he held a live CNN “town hall” event. Hickenlooper performed very well overall, but most of the attention following the event was about one specific exchange that highlights Hick’s inexperience with “soundbite […]
Axios reports on an interesting idea apparently being considered by former Vice President Joe Biden: Close advisers to former Vice President Joe Biden are debating the idea of packaging his presidential campaign announcement with a pledge to choose Stacey Abrams as his vice president. Why it matters: The popular Georgia Democrat, who at age 45 […]
As Colorado Public Radio’s Hayley Sanchez reports, good luck with that: The rules for recalling a governor include collecting signatures from 25 percent of the number of the voters who cast a ballot in the last election for governor. More than 2.5 million people voted in last year’s governor’s race, said Colorado Secretary of State […]
Republican leaders in the State Senate spent much of their morning on Tuesday in a Denver courtroom after suing Democrats for using computers to read the text of a 2,000-page bill last week; Sen. John Cooke (R-Weld County) requested a full reading of HB-1172 in an effort to bring Senate business to a standstill over the […]

President Trump spends a lot of time on Twitter, as we all know. But Trump’s Sunday Twitter bender, which included an astounding 29 Tweets and Re-Tweets on a dizzying array of subjects, was a bit concerning for a number of reasons. As conservative political analyst Bill Kristol asked on Sunday: To Republicans who’ve been inclined […]

Last week’s vote by the U.S. Senate to terminate President Donald Trump’s border wall national emergency, in which Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado ended weeks of self-generated confusion over his shifting stands on the issue and voted to protect the President, provoked a backlash against Gardner locally that feels much different and more profound than previous […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In his short explanation of why he voted with Trump for a national emergency to build a border wall, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner did not explain why he told at least two Colorado media outlets that he opposed the national emergency. The two statements are unequivocal, starting with his March 13 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Greeley Tribune runs a regular column entitled the Weld County Oil and Gas Spill Report that provides a handy break-down of the spills and other “releases” reported in Colorado’s most drilled, most fracked county. A pretty typical spill summary might read: KERR MCGEE OIL & GAS ONSHORE LP, reported March 6 […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Public Radio’s Bente Birkeland broke news this week that moderate Colorado Republicans are launching a new organization, Friends for the Future, to try to elect more moderate Republicans in Colorado and appeal to Unaffiliated voters. Birkeland reports that the effort could be at odds with the strategy of House Republican […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado’s governor and attorney general both stated today that sheriffs should disregard county resolutions not to enforce gun-safety laws. The statements came as Colorado lawmakers are poised to pass “red flag” legislation allowing police to take firearms from people deemed by a judge to be dangerous to themselves or others. Most […]
UPDATE #3: TPM’s Josh Marshall: Gardner’s decision illustrates a core principle of Trump Republicanism. Even in cases where a vote is clearly against public opinion at home (state or district) and even in cases where it is clearly politically damaging, they almost always come around to Trump. Why? Simple. Because even if they’re on the […]

Watches are a trend that simply said, will never cease to exist. From designer classics to some breakthrough models, watches are a big thing. Watches have been used widely since the first time they were created in the 1700s. A true story is that once it took an entire king’s purse to hire even the […]
Colorado Republicans were squawking about Democratic “overreach” long before the final ballots were counted in the 2018 election. They were warning of “secession” in mid-November. Republicans have been throwing around “recall” threats for months and pushing counties to pledge to be “sanctuaries” in the event that so-called “red flag” legislation is passed. In response to […]
State Senator Vicki Marble (R-Broomfield) made quite the spectacle of herself over the weekend when she appeared to threaten 9News reporter Kyle Clark for having the audacity to inquire about an interview on the subject of her enthusiasm for another secession movement in Colorado. Marble’s thinly-veiled threats were picked up nationally by outlets like Newsweek, yet […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Republicans are standing chest-deep in blue water that crashed here in November. They’re soaking wet, the water isn’t receding, and they’re frustrated, trying to figure out what went wrong, so they can dry out and win again in their lifetimes. But pretty much all they’re talking about is changing their […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Thursday night, House Republican leader Patrick Neville stood before a room of Rocky Mountain Gun Owner members and pledged to support their efforts to recall his colleagues, not just with a public statement, but by providing the campaign’s “infrastructure.” Neville: I’m already getting pushback on this, but there are grassroots folks […]
The oil and gas industry is now 0-for-2 in its primary arguments against Senate Bill 181, which would prioritize health and safety concerns in regulating oil and gas operations in Colorado. After initially claiming that the legislation was a big secret — nevermind the humongous press conference that preceded its introduction — the bill’s opponents […]
