Ain’t no party like a Colorado Republican Party because a Colorado Republican Party don’t stop! We have yet another new internal battle to report, but first…for Colorado Republicans, 2024 is (again) the year of infighting: ♦ State Republican Party Chair Dave Williams vs. Everybody Else in CO-05! ♦ In CO-04, it’s Lauren Boebert vs. Jerry […]
THURSDAY UPDATE: Yet another troubling headline from The Washington Post: As Tony Romm writes: Some of the roughly 5 million families who receive rental assistance from the U.S. government could see sharp cuts to their benefits — and even the threat of eviction — unless lawmakers in Washington can craft a budget deal that fully funds […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Former Trump attorney John Eastman, who’s facing charges in Georgia relating to a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election, is scheduled to appear in federal district court in Colorado Jan. 23 — not as a defendant but as a lawyer representing the Colorado Republican Party, according to Randy Corporon, the […]
And no, we’re not talking about Jeff Crank running in CD-5–you’re thinking of Arizona’s Jeff Flake. With all three of Colorado’s Republican-held congressional seats up for grabs in 2024, the field of primary contenders in Colorado’s Third, Fourth, and Fifth Congressional Districts is growing faster than we can track it–especially when it comes to unserious […]
As CNN’s Lauren Fox reports, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is facing a revolt from conservative lawmakers, incensed that America’s “First MAGA Speaker” has cut a spending deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that will not fulfill the Freedom Caucus’ impossible vision of drowning the federal government in the bathtub: Johnson…faced backlash […]
UPDATE #2: Looks like Rep. Lauren Boebert is off the hook, says 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark: —– UPDATE: Via Carol McKinley of the Colorado Springs Gazette, some insight on the new charges against Jayson Boebert. Unpleasant stuff: Arrest records obtained by The Denver Gazette show that the Boeberts’ teenaged son, who has a nine-month-old child, called […]
At this time last year, the 2024 election cycle in Colorado was looking like it might be pretty uneventful. After all, 2024 won’t have a major statewide race on the ballot, and while it is a Presidential Election year, Colorado is such a solid-blue state in that regard that neither Democrats nor Republicans are going […]
The Colorado Springs Gazette’s political blog wrapped up its annual Q&A sessions with Gov. Jared Polis and the leadership on both sides and both chambers of the Colorado General Assembly. All worth the moment it takes to read, but we wanted to start with Republican House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, recently announced candidate for Congress […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Just because it’s 2024 doesn’t mean 2020 isn’t still up for debate. Last Thursday night in the southeastern corner of the state, election denialism and January 6 revisionist history were hot topics with Lauren Boebert and the other congressional hopefuls trying to out-Trump one another. Baca County Republicans held the first […]
Congressman Doug Lamborn’s retirement announcement means that for the first time that we can remember, all of Colorado’s Republican-held Congressional seats will be open in the same election cycle. There will likely be at least two dozen Republicans running in a GOP Primary in “safe” Republican districts in CO-03, CO-04, and now CO-05. But why […]
(The war on furversion continues — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Heidi Ganahl, failed gubernatorial candidate and host of the “Unleashed” podcast, has a new project in the works, one that aims to help Republicans regain control in Colorado. The former CU regent has already secured significant funding from prominent GOP donors, including Walter “Buz” Koelbel, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Lauren Boebert burst into Congress on a wave of loving publicity from right-wing media outlets, including FOX News and Colorado talk-radio shows. Now conservative media are turning against her. Two Trump-backing media figures, Julie Hayden and Chuck Bonniwell, didn’t hide their anger at Boebert on their “Chuck and Julie Show” podcast […]
As Sudiksha Kochi at USA TODAY reports, Colorado’s pinballing portrait of perturbation Rep. Lauren Boebert, fresh from last week’s gobsmacking switcheroo from CD-3 to the on-paper friendlier confines of Colorado’s crimson-red CD-4, is trying to explain away her most likely career-ending move by blaming Hollywood celebrities who have donated to the campaign of Boebert’s erstwhile […]
The stunning news Wednesday that America’s Most Vulnerable™ Rep. Lauren Boebert was transplanting her reality TV show re-election campaign from Colorado’s R+9 Third Congressional District to the R+∞ Fourth District currently represented by retiring Rep. Ken Buck, thus sidestepping the much-anticipated rematch between Boebert and Democratic challenger Adam Frisch, left Boebert’s Republican primary challenger Jeff […]
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…we almost made it through 2023 with another podcast episode, but then Lauren Boebert announced late on December 27th when LITERALLY NOBODY WAS TRYING TO THINK ABOUT HER that she was going to carpetbag her broken campaign down to the 4th congressional district. So, in this special episode […]
Republican Congressperson Lauren Boebert has been on a downward trajectory ever since she barely won re-election in 2022 by a razor-thin 546 votes in CO-03. Her odds of winning a third term in 2024 began plummeting after her infamous Beetlebert scandal and the subsequent campaign of Republican Jeff Hurd, whom establishment Republicans have been rushing […]
This year’s roundup of the biggest lies in American politics compiled by FactCheck.org, thicker than ever in 2023 from Hunter Biden to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., features two separate dishonorable mentions for Colorado’s factually antagonistic Rep. Lauren Boebert–the first being the President’s self-confessed failson: Involvement in Hunter Biden’s business deals. Immediately after Hunter Biden’s former […]
Tuesday’s decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to prevent Donald Trump from appearing on the 2024 Presidential ballot is a massive decision that will (likely) ultimately lead to the United States Supreme Court making a national ruling about Trump’s ability to appear on the ballot for President in other states. Regardless of your opinion on […]
(What me, democracy? — Promoted by Colorado Pols) The Colorado GOP’s leadership will hold a vote in January to formally endorse former President Donald Trump. This decision takes place despite a number of obstacles, including a longstanding tradition of party neutrality in primaries and the fact that the state’s Supreme Court just ruled Trump is […]
As The Colorado Sun reports in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter: If voters casting ballots in Colorado’s Democratic presidential primary next year don’t like any of the candidates on their ballot, they’ll be able to choose what’s effectively a “none of the above” option. The Colorado Democratic Party added a “noncommitted delegate” choice to the March 5 […]
(Behind the scenes of #Beetlebert — Promoted by Colorado Pols) One of Colorado’s biggest political stories of the year, if not the biggest, is Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s wild behavior in September during a performance of Beetlejuice at the Buell Theater in Denver. We know the details — and can see them for ourselves — thanks […]
We wrote last week about efforts from Colorado House Speaker Julie McCluskie to help make the workplace culture at the State Capitol a little less acrimonious by changing some House Committee assignments — notably the removal of Reps. Elisabeth Epps and Bob Marshall from the coveted House Judiciary Committee. Despite McCluskie’s efforts, another freshman Democrat […]
If you haven’t seen the business headlines lately, the U.S. economy is so bad that the stock market hit a record high this week. Twice. As Reuters reports: U.S. stocks ended firmer on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average notching its second straight record high close, lifted by optimism that borrowing rates will decrease […]
Notable news this afternoon from the U.S. Supreme Court, which has declined to halt the implementation of new laws in the state of Illinois to ban firearms meeting the criteria of an “assault weapons” as well as (Colorado readers take note) the state’s new limit on gun magazine capacity. NBC News Chicago: The Supreme Court […]
It’s the news we’ve been anticipating ever since word first broke of Monument-based conservative whacktivist Darcy Shoening’s campaign to make Colorado’s the second state Republican Party to formally endorse Donald Trump, well in advance of the Super Tuesday primary. Unless you’ve been purposefully blocking it out, you already know Trump is leading the Republican primary […]
