UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark with an interesting take on the DougCo PrideFest protesters, noting that they’re meddling in other people’s parenting just like they accuse the government of doing: —– Denver7’s Micah Smith reports on an ugly but predictable episode Saturday afternoon at the scene of conservative exurban Douglas County’s PrideFest celebration–an event that went […]
The Colorado Republican Party has a very specific list of responsibilities for the State Republican Party Chairman, which include things like making a budget and hiring staff members. The bylaws of the State Republican Central Committee don’t explicitly include that the GOP Chair’s primary job is to help Republican candidates win elections, but this is […]
There are more than 3.9 million active registered voters in Colorado. Republicans account for about 24% of these voters, followed by Democrats at 27%. Active voters in Colorado registered as “Unaffiliated” make up most of the rest of the total, with 47% listed as of the end of July. You could argue, as some do, […]
A trip into the fever swamps of conservative conspiracy theorizing can be entertaining as long as you leave a few reality-based breadcrumbs to find your way back. One currently circulating tall tale on conservative social media concerns a “Chinese COVID bioweapons lab” allegedly uncovered in central California. Local media doesn’t appear to have helped the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii have a lot to discuss. Our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado is trailing her leading Democratic challenger by two points. Will she realize thatshe’s the problem? The Colorado Republican/Libertarian Party alliance is getting sadder and stupider, as we […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Dan Caplis is a serious lawyer, or so he says. So serious, in fact, that he’s trademarked the phrase, “a serious firm for serious cases.” Jenna Ellis is not a serious lawyer, but she has been charged with serious crimes. She also admitted, in her formal censure by Colorado’s Office of […]
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman used the occasion of a Friday news dump to announce that his politically-disastrous proposal to turn Aurora into a “strong mayor” city was being dropped on account of the fact that it was killing his chances of being re-elected in November. Okay, that’s not what Coffman said exactly, but it’s not […]
Colorado’s new universal preschool program is still being rolled out across the state, and despite a few hiccups for one of Gov. Jared Polis’s signature issues, tens of thousands of families are taking advantage of the opportunity. As Ann Schimke reports for Chalkbeat Colorado, participants in the program are happy to get started: The new […]
Members of Congress are out of Washington for the August recess, but as the Washington Post reported Wednesday, a daunting pile of unfinished business awaits to be worked out when members return next month–and the narrow GOP House majority is divided on whether to govern like grownups, or once again force the nation down the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) In another spectacularly UnAmerican decision, the board of trustees Gov. DeSantis appointed to oversee New College, the small public liberal arts college, in Sarasota, Florida, has decreed that students involved in orientation are prohibited from wearing LGBTQIA lapel pins or other symbols that show support for that community. In other words, […]
Last night, a group of would-be Republican presidential candidates held a debate in Milwaukee, an event most notable for the absence of the far-and-away frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination ex-President Donald Trump. The eight candidates who appeared are all mired in a single-digit pack after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failure to thrive, with at […]
Jenna Ellis, the Colorado licensed attorney who now stands indicted along with 18 others including ex-President Donald Trump for her role in the attempted subversion of the 2020 presidential election results in the state of Georgia, has been publicly complaining for days about the lack of financial support not just she but allegedly all of […]
(Throwing crazy money after bad — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Ex-Trump attorney turned far-right radio host Jenna Ellis has raised over $100,000 for her legal defense. Her top donors include fellow election-denying talk show hosts as well as other MAGA Republicans. Charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy related to attempting to overturn the 2020 […]
In 2021, Colorado law changed to require the state’s industrial sector to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 20% by 2030. It’s an important goal and one that we are currently on track to fail to meet. A new rule being considered by the Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC) could help us to correct course, but […]
As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, former University of Colorado visiting conservative scholar and current attorney representing the Colorado Republican Party John Eastman reported to Fulton County Jail today for booking on his range of Georgia felony charges related to the strategy allegedly masterminded by Eastman to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election: […]
It was just yesterday that we wrote in this space about the idea that Congressperson Lauren Boebert (R-ifle) was caught in the same political death spiral that ended the public lives of previous Republicans such as Cory Gardner and Walker Stapleton. Welp, you can add another log to that fire. According to a new poll […]
In recent years, big-name Republican politicians in Colorado have tended to follow a similar pattern in advance of their electoral demise — a political death spiral that ends with a thud in November. In 2018, it was Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton who couldn’t get out of his own way en route to an 11-point […]
MONDAY UPDATE: As Nick Riccardi and David Klepper report for The Associated Press, Peters embodies a problem that the entire Republican Party will be dealing with in 2024: During his conference, Lindell prefaced the video by saying “it isn’t about evidence” and meant to evoke the atmosphere of December 2020, as Trump was challenging the […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, he’s Once, Twice, Thrice, Fourthce times indicted? Big ass loser Donald Trump has been charged with another series of crimes, this time in Georgia; can the big man escape the big house when he doesn’t have the power to pardon himself for committing felonies at the state […]
Following the release earlier this week of the Colorado Libertarian Party’s so-called “Candidate Pledge for Liberty,” a list of litmus-test issues being imposed with the full consent and cooperation of Colorado Republican Party chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams on Republican candidates lest they draw a spoiler, Libertarian Party chairperson Hannah Goodman dropped whatever poker […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby reports, a previously unknown but as we’ll discuss fairly interesting Republican candidate, attorney Jeffery Hurd, has announced a primary challenge to vulnerable incumbent Rep. Lauren Boebert: “I’ve decided to enter the race to give Republican primary voters an option and a choice,” said Hurd, who describes himself as […]
In case you missed this news from Monday, Black Bear Pass in the San Juan Mountains in Southwest Colorado (near Telluride) is currently closed to traffic…but that didn’t stop some off-road enthusiasts from trying to drive up the mountain anyway. From Denver7: Monday’s incident started in the afternoon, when the sheriff’s office warned that a […]
As we discussed in the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast (below) the self-inflicted disaster in Aurora that is Mayor Mike Coffman’s idiotic “strong mayor” initiative campaign may well end up preventing Coffman from winning a second term in November. A longtime Republican elected official, Coffman was narrowly elected Mayor in 2019 in […]
Jenna Ellis, the former member of ex-President Donald Trump’s legal team who plotted along with alleged co-conspirators John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, faces felony counts in the indictment brought by the district attorney of Fulton County, Georgia over the effort to flip the result in that […]
UPDATE: The Aurora Sentinel: Andrews’ exit leaves Marcano as the Democratic frontrunner and main challenger to Coffman, a Republican military veteran who boasts a lengthy resume in Colorado politics. Coffman was elected mayor in 2019 after losing his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to Jason Crow… [Marcano] said Andrews agreed to pull out […]
