(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After truly devastating losses in 2018 and again this year, the Colorado GOP is left with only one Republican who’s been elected by a statewide vote in Colorado. That’s little-known University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, who won her statewide “at large” position on CU’s governing board in 2016. Democrats will […]
Despite the best-laid plans of officials and the fervent hopes by all parties that it wouldn’t be a disaster, Jesse Paul at the Colorado Sun reports the return to class at the University of Colorado’s flagship Boulder campus has not gone well: The University of Colorado Boulder is moving to remote learning for at least […]
Colorado GOP chairman/Rep. Ken Buck released an extended-length fundraising video for online consumption yesterday, and there’s no need to expound too much on the 2 minutes and 40 some-odd seconds in which Buck drones on predictably about his love for freedom and hatred of bad Washington, D.C. “others” (allegedly) in both parties–but we wanted to […]
It’s been almost two weeks since the campaign for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper made it clear that it would not be participating in the annual “Club 20” debate on the Western Slope of Colorado. Club 20 is apparently having trouble moving on. On Monday, Club 20 did the political equivalent of posting a […]
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 […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A Denver protest of the killing of Minnesota resident George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers included numerous incidents of violence Thursday evening. Although most of the several hundred attendees left before dark, the conflict continued into the night. Eventually officers deployed tear gas canisters and pepper bullets on smaller but vocal […]
After the jump you can read a copy of the letter sent out at noon today to parents of students in school districts including some of the biggest districts in the state: Adams, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson. The key phrase: “there does not appear to be a viable way for us to convene traditional in-person […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post’s Alex Burness: [Beckman] did not specify what her new job will be, nor did she immediately respond to a call from The Denver Post. The White House has not yet responded to a question about Beckman, and a spokesperson for the state GOP declined to comment… In late March, Beckman narrowly […]
Be nice, and say sorry for when you weren’t.
Auld Lang Syne.
The cover art for today’s Politico Magazine top story, a photo collage of AP and Getty images by Zach Meyer, is turning heads–a depiction of President Donald Trump and key Republican lawmakers in the style of the Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci. On the left you’ll find Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, who […]
(O-kay… Promoted by Colorado Pols) Democrats are pursuing impeachment for political reasons or simply because they’re upset with the last election, say Republicans who backed the recall of Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) and/or other Democrats soon after they were elected. U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, head of the Colorado Republican Party, came out against impeachment, saying: […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Douglas County, Colorado, Republican Party shared a Facebook post this week stating that Muslim members of Congress who express specific ideas are terrorists. The post, which has been spreading on Facebook, states: “Every time a Moslem (sic) stands up in Congress and tells us they will change the Constitution, impeach […]
American farmers are mad. “I couldn’t vote for him. I have to protect my business,” Ohio soybean farmer Christopher Gribbs told CNBC earlier this month. Gribbs voted for Trump in 2016 and was once part of the President’s midwestern base, but no longer. “The geopolitical problems that we have with the Trump tariffs have weighed […]
(“You shall make no idols.” Love ya, irony! — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Groups on the religious right in Colorado have long pushed Republicans to embrace the Ten Commandments–and insert them in public life. The issue used to pop up in candidate questionnaires, like this one in 2010 from the Christian Family Alliance of Colorado, […]
The 2018 election, which in Colorado was an unprecedented landslide in modern political history for Democrats, almost immediately resulted in threats by Colorado Republicans to initiate recall elections this year. Back in April, we were forwarded since-deleted video of a briefing by GOP political consultant Ben Engen of Constellation Strategies in which Engen very frankly […]
CBS News reports as the wholesale rollback of abortion rights in conservative states gains momentum, this time with the state of Missouri facing the possible cutoff of abortion services at the state’s last clinic: The last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri says it expects to be shut down this week, effectively ending legal abortion in […]
Earlier this week, former Republican Rep. Cole Wist raised eyebrows with a direct and thorough rebuke of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners (RMGO) and their latest recall attempt against Rep. Tom Sullivan (D-Aurora). What makes this particularly noteworthy is that Wist was defeated by Sullivan in the 2018 election cycle, in part because RMGO went after him […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) At a legislative briefing in March, Gun activist Dudley Brown was so angry at Douglas County Sheriff’s support of a gun safety law, he said county commissioners’ should cut the sheriff’s budget by twenty percent. “Why not?” Brown asked. “That’s what Douglas County Commissioners should be doing right now… I don’t […]
It is, oddly, not unusual to see a story about a candidate for elected office who has apparently not bothered to regularly vote in prior elections. Just last year, a Republican candidate for Governor of Oklahoma struggled to explain why he himself hadn’t voted in a single Gubernatorial election since at least 1999. As John Ensslin reports […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Christian University “generally” doesn’t repeat speakers at its annual conservative gathering near Denver, said the event’s director Jeff Hunt when asked whether a Republican Congressman, who advised people not to be offended by white supremacy, would be invited to the annual event again this July. Iowa Congressman Steve King, who […]
Walker Stapleton, the Republican nominee for governor of Colorado who lost this year’s election by over 10 points, was a candidate who never seemed quite comfortable in his own skin on the campaign trail. It was a running gag during the campaign among Democrats to share the worst possible photos of Stapleton, which was easy […]
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) and Democrat Jason Crow sat down with 9News political people Kyle Clark and Marshall Zelinger on Tuesday for the final debate of the CO-6 race. You can watch the full 30-minute debate here, or you can read all about it below. Since this could very well be Coffman’s final debate as an incumbent […]
CNN reports on the stunning admission late yesterday from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that officials directly subordinate to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman were indeed responsible for the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi inside the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul: After 18 days in which Saudi Arabia adamantly denied that any harm had […]
UPDATE: Via the Denver Posts’s Anna Staver, the BS goes on: Just spoke with a woman who said she was in @SenCoryGardner’s office this morning trying to get a meeting and listened to his staff tell dozens of callers the senator was undecided on #KavanaughVote 🤷🏻♀️ #COPolitics — Anna Staver (@AnnaStaver) October 5, 2018 It […]
