9NEWS’ Marshall Zelinger provides the latest updates in the micro-saga we’ve been watching unfold within the Colorado Republican Party under historically controversial chairman Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams, for whom the knives are out after Williams’ audacious gambit of turning the state party into a personal political vehicle for himself and favored Republican primary […]
Republicans have had a hard time winning elections in Colorado in recent years. The way back to political relevance in the state legislature, such that one exists when the GOP only holds 19 of a possible 65 seats, apparently starts with a bonkers candidate in Douglas County named Matt Burcham. The 2022 “Bluenami” in Colorado […]
UPDATE: As we noted last week, Colorado Republicans including the state’s top congressional candidate Gabe Evans bearhugged J.D. Vance, which won’t age well in the event Vance turns into a boat anchor for the Republican ticket: “Americans relate to J.D. Vance,” says Gabe Evans. Don’t forget he said so. —– With the announcement Sunday that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally posted at the Colorado Times Recorder In the days following the first public call by another party leader for a vote on his removal, Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams took two actions: he announced the censure of that leader by her fellow executive committee members, and paid himself his next […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) By Jason Salzman and Erik Maulbetsch, Colorado Times Recorder In 2020, when he was a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado’s Benson Center for Western Conservative Thought, John Eastman speculated in a Newsweek op-ed that Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris might not be eligible to serve as vice president because her […]
As The New York Times reports, Vice President Kamala Harris has wasted no time in locking down support after President Biden’s Sunday announcement that he would no longer seek re-election in 2024: Harris moved swiftly to assert herself as the de facto Democratic nominee for president on Monday, her first full day as a candidate, […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…just when you thought this election couldn’t possibly get any more insaner, Donald Trump survived an actual assassination attempt; if you’re just waking up from a coma, yes, he’s about to officially be renominated as the GOP presidential candidate. We check in on the RNC convention in Milwaukee, […]
The Colorado Republican Party is not exactly rife with rocket surgeons these days. The Party itself is spiraling into new depths with its escalating calls for things that Republicans must oppose, which includes stuff like “schools” and other basic things like “laws.” A sizable chunk of Colorado Republicans would like to remove Dave Williams as […]
UPDATE: There is a lot of information to be gleaned, including between the lines, from this rundown via POLITICO’s “Playbook”. —– An exclusive report from Jeff Mason at Reuters today quotes Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper saying that President Joe Biden, who was forced off the campaign trail yesterday after testing positive for COVID-19, is close […]
“In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.” –Winston Churchill
When we last discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding Colorado Republican Party chairman and twice-failed congressional candidate Dave Williams, the party appeared to have successfully put off the question forced by dissenting members of the party central committee of Williams’ continued chairmanship until the end of August–well beyond the 30-day window prescribed for these kinds of […]
Democrats in the state legislature passed a landmark bill in 2019 creating a reinsurance program intended to help reduce health care costs for Coloradans — an effective solution to a problem that Jared Polis campaigned on heavily when running for Governor in 2018. Thanks to that legislation, health care premiums in Colorado DECREASED for the […]
In an interesting turn of events in Colorado’s eighth congressional district, Republican Gabe-ish Evans is paying himself a “salary” out of his congressional campaign account as he attempts to unseat incumbent Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo. As Jesse Paul reports for The Colorado Sun, there’s nothing illegal about this…but it’s raising eyebrows considering how hard Republicans […]
The Colorado Sun’s Jesse Paul reports today on the issue of abortion as it affects competitive congressional races in our state–in particular the coming showdown between Democratic CO-03 once and future contender Adam Frisch and Grand Junction attorney Jeff “Bread Sandwich” Hurd. Hurd, as readers know, was recruited by Republican institutional unfriends of Boebert to […]
To say that Congressperson Lauren Boebert is a “one-trick pony” wouldn’t be entirely accurate — unless you’re talking about her ideas for legislation related to federal agencies. Boebert is a big fan of using her interpretation of the so-called “Holman Rule” to attempt to essentially eliminate salaries of top officials in government agencies by reducing […]
UPDATE #5: We called it on the latest episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast. Here’s the clip: —– UPDATE #4: Rep. Diana DeGette of Denver comes out fighting: —– UPDATE #3: Here’s a handy roundup of J.D. Vance’s past quotes on Donald Trump from Fox News that you’ll most likely never see again: —– UPDATE […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published at the Colorado Times Recorder MyPillow founder and election denier Mike Lindell was a surprise guest at a movie screening of Let My People Go, held July 12, at Orchard Mesa Baptist Church in Grand Junction. The film stars David Clements, a former lawyer and fired New Mexico State […]
Westword’s Chris Perez reports on the latest brush with the law (that we know of) involving America’s catbird of carpetbagging Rep. Lauren Boebert, who successfully ditched her growing list of professional and personal problems, at least for now, behind the Continental Divide by winning the clown-car CO-04 GOP primary in a blowout. But on a […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Originally published by the Colorado Times Recorder In another targeted attack against transgender people, the Colorado GOP, represented by Director of Special Initiatives Darcy Schoening, sent an email calling on the state’s school boards to resist enacting recent updates to Title IX that protect transgender students from discrimination on the basis of gender identity. “The Colorado GOP urges Colorado […]
As Ernest Luning at the Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog reports, a coalition of Colorado Republicans who have banded together behind El Paso County GOP vice chairman Todd Watkins looking to oust state party chairman and humiliatingly defeated congressional candidate Dave “Let’s Go Brandon” Williams is battling with Williams’ allies in party leadership over the […]
UPDATE: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also seems to be pushing for Biden to exit the race. From The New York Times: Pelosi suggested on Wednesday that President Biden still could reconsider his decision to remain in the presidential race, the strongest public signal yet from a senior member of his party that the matter […]
As the Washington Examiner’s Rachel Schilke reports, yesterday was distant former Parker Mayor-turned perennial primary loser Republican Greg Lopez’s best day ever, sworn into Congress to fill in for the remaining six months of retired Rep. Ken Buck’s term before the seat is filled for good by the winner of the November 5th CO-04 general […]
Almost lost among the many, many, many stories about the future of President Joe Biden’s Presidential campaign is that Republican Donald Trump only has a few days left in which to select a new scapegoat running mate and Republican Vice Presidential nominee. According to Aaron Blake of The Washington Post, Trump’s potential choice seems to […]
President Joe Biden may well weather the storm surrounding the concerns about his age and fitness for the top elected office in the land and remain the Democratic choice for President in November. But this is not the way to do it. We’ve talked a little about Biden’s not-very-good debate performance in Atlanta on June […]
The Colorado Republican Party has issued a new fatwa for its members across the state: Ignore newly-enacted gun safety laws. The Colorado GOP’s “Director of Special Initiatives” Darcy Schoening sent out another asinine email with the latest set of directions for loyal party members to follow. Schoening is demanding that Republicans refuse to comply with […]
