Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election, but as readers know Trump remains the most powerful individual within the Republican Party today–a grip that tightened in Trump’s first year out of office as the GOP purged itself of dissenters, and enforced a litmus test on Republican candidates requiring them to maintain (or at least not […]

(For posterity — Promoted by Colorado Pols) James O’Rourke is co-author of this post.

UPDATE: As usual, our intrepid readers were already on the case. We’ll pay closer attention next time! —– One of the wackier new additions to the Colorado Republican House Minority, as our readers have been getting acquainted with for some months now, is Rep.

UPDATE #2: Colorado Democrats blast Rep.
