You don’t have to be anti-gay to be anti-abortion, but the two sometimes run together in Colorado politics. The latest example comes from Christy Rodriquez, who runs Colorado Campaign for Life, a group that backs anti-abortion legislation and attacks pro-choice candidates. Rodriquez “liked” a Facebook post promoting “Heterosexual Pride Day” as an opportunity to “celebrate […]
The Fourth of July weekend is always a popular time to find politicians outside shaking hands, kissing babies, and taking selfies with constituents. Congress is in the middle of its 10-day July 4th recess, and across the country elected officials (most of them, anyway) were marching in parades and pressing the flesh at community gatherings. […]
As the Denver Post’s John Frank reports from the swanky Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, this weekend playing host to a convention of top donors to the Koch Brothers’ network of powerful conservative advocacy organizations–where Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, if the latest reports are true, faced a major backlash from conservative funders over Gardner’s […]
Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has ascended to a leadership position in the U.S. Senate…but you wouldn’t know this based on his response to the blockbuster news on Tuesday that President Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey. Gardner is the Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), making it his responsibility to make sure that Republicans maintain their Senate majority […]
UPDATE: Michael O’Laughlin updates the story, and we’re happy to report that there was no real “Fascism Forever” club at Georgetown Prep: Mr. Gorsuch, who was nominated on Jan. 31 to the Supreme Court by President Donald J. Trump, participated in the informal debates, where he was routinely teased, accused of being “a conservative fascist.” […]
What a difference an unexpected win makes, as the Colorado Springs Gazette’s Joey Bunch reports: Cory Gardner once called Donald Trump a “buffoon” and even called for him to drop out of the presidential race a month before the election, but the U.S. senator from Yuma is now busy handing out olive branches to the […]
TPM’s Lauren Fox reports from today’s post-election meeting of the House Republican conference: It was the first full conference meeting in the wake of Trump’s stunning election win. Members had been back home, in their districts, trying carefully to balance their bombastic nominee with their own re-elections. In the end, it turned out Trump’s vision […]
UPDATE: Coffman’s hometown Aurora Sentinel is as flabbergasted by these remarks as everyone else: Congressman Mike Coffman may not know that what Donald Trump has done to women constitutes sexual assault, but we do. Women across Aurora and Colorado do. District attorneys across the country do. During a televised debate Thursday night on 9News TV, Coffman and his […]
As Ernest Luning reported via Twitter, former GOP Presidential candidate and current Texas Senator Ted Cruz is coming to Colorado on Wednesday to stump for Colorado Senate candidate Darryl Glenn. Cruz endorsed Glenn prior to the June 28th Primary, which no doubt helped the El Paso County Commissioner on his way to the Republican Senate nomination in Colorado. Cruz’s latest […]
The Colorado Springs Gazette’s Joey Bunch reports on Trump-spawn Eric Trump’s campaign swing in Colorado, yesterday in Denver and moving north today to Greeley: Eric Trump, the presidential candidate’s 32-year-old son, came to Colorado Monday to talk business and energize volunteers, but he was armed and ready to defend his father’s personal reputation. He blamed Hillary […]

As John Frank writes today for the Denver Post, Colorado Sen.

Gardner was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014 for a number of reasons — foremost the fact that he ran a strong campaign while incumbent Sen. Mark Udall did not — but also because he picked the […]

Two incumbent Republican members of the legislature from Colorado Springs responsible for a lot of negative press lost their seats in yesterday’s primary elections, results that seem likely to manifest in further GOP infighting down the road–even as some more socially well-adjusted Republicans breathe a small sigh of relief today. The Colorado Springs Gazette’s Rachel Riley reports […]
Derrick Wilburn, founder of Rocky Mountain Black Conservatives, will deliver a keynote address Saturday at the annual Lincoln Day dinner of the Delta County Republican Party, whose leader, Linda Sorenson, found herself in the national spotlight this month for sharing a Facebook Post comparing Obama to a chimpanzee.
