(Promoted by Colorado Pols) The writing was on the wall, and so it is likely not a surprise to many of us in the North Fork Valley.

UPDATE: The Colorado Democratic Party responds via CBS4: Cory Gardner’s a spineless yes-man who’s sold out Colorado to Donald Trump time and time again.

Via GOP Rep. Matt Soper, Colorado House Republicans had themselves an extemporaneous party on the floor of the chamber today to celebrate the acquittal yesterday of President Donald Trump: Rep. Soper exults less than eloquently: The rights of the innocence [sic] were upheld. The House Republican caucus celebrated the exoneration of President Trump. Long live […]
Freshly energized from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday and acquittal in the impeachment trial yesterday, Rep.

UPDATE #5 (2:25 pm): Sen. Cory Gardner has voted to acquit President Donald Trump on both articles of impeachment. The idea that we would turn our back and close our eyes to evidence pounding on the outside of the doors of this Capitol is pitiful. It is disgraceful. And it will be a stain on […]
UPDATE: The Senate has adjourned for the day. Gardner did not speak. —– Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) does not like talking about the subject of President Trump’s misconduct.

UPDATE: Note that the GOP Senator who first fielded a similar question, Joni Ernst of Iowa, swiftly walked back her answer: “That was taken entirely out of context. The point is that the Democrats have lowered the bar so far that … regardless of who it is, if you have a different party in the […]

Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has had a rough couple of weeks months thanks to his transparent inability to even pretend that he’s anything more than a rubber stamp for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Trump on the topic of impeachment. Gardner’s obsequiousness has made him a national punchline; on Tuesday David Leonhardt […]
