In late October 2017, Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) 
STAY THE COURSE, SENATOR…….
Some day they will thank you. Perhaps not any time soon, but stay the course.
They'll thank him in 2020, year of the hindsight. They'll say "Cory, go home. Spend time with your family."
If you know someone who supports Gardner, have them write to him on a topic of their choice, with one or two questions for the Senator and his staff to answer.
If the response continues to be what I've experienced, part of the time, they won't get the satisfaction of ANY answer. Nearly all of the rest of the time, they will get a reply, but it won't have anything showing a specific response to the questions.
In all my writing, I've gotten one response with an accurate response to my question — and I think that was an accident of an overly broad question and a lucky strike in the boilerplate response.
I don't think Moderatus would be willing to send such questions to him. I can't think of anyone else of whom I am aware still supports Gardner.
Define support, RandR. I don''t endorse his party but he is a decent man and shoulders above the tea party whackos who dominate his party.
I disagree with him being a decent man although all things are relative and if you put Trent Franks, Roy Moore, and Cory Gardner together, in that trio he is a decent man. But if you placed him with John McCain and John Kasich, I would disagree with you.
He tows the party line. Maybe he is not as bat-shit crazy as many of his colleague but he enables them.
And I will never get over how much of a coward he was during his infamous Durango town hall.
No decent man would support this administration, let alone work to expand its ability to enact laws.
In my experience – that's almost always true.
I got real response from Senator Wellstone's office. Coffman, Bennet, Salazar, Ritter, Hick, etc – some were more on topic than form (guess) but none that I would consider responsive. I stopped writing letters and just started showing up.
Still not great- I could never write big checks. But Bennet and Salazar made time to hear me and acknowlege what I was saying. (Got that once with Bill Bradley too (he would have won, and he wouldda been great.) )
So who sends him back to Yuma? One of the Garnetts? Merrifield, Donovan, Fields? Joe Neguse? Ed? An as-of-yet-to-be-defeated-in-the-primary-Gubernatorial-candidate? We all agree he's full of shit, but who's gonna put their boots on and shovel that shit back to Nebraska.
Ed Perlmutter. Maybe Hick. (I know, I mentioned Hick just to taunt the Hard Lefties.)
Him, too.
Cory Gardner's teflon coating will wear a little thinner, with the revelation that Steve Wynn, the finance chair of the National Republican Committee, is credibly accused of sexual assault. The Wall St Journal reported (behind a paywall) that a manicurist was forced to have sex with Mr. Wynn after an appointment. She was later paid $7.5 million to settle a lawsuit.
Cory Gardner is the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which is related to Wynn's organization, the NRC. Both men are charged with raising funds to elect Republican candidates, and to maintain Republican control of Congress. The NRC recently postured hypocritically about the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal, pressuring the Democratic National Committee to return any Weinstein contributions.
So, to save you all from waiting to hear how Cory Gardner will handle these latest allegations about his fellow Republican money man, I will present here Talking Cory :
"Look, we don't have all the facts yet and while I think sexual assault is a No No we don't know if Mr. Wynn is guilty it's typical of Democrats to make accusations and we need due process if it turns out that Steve did a nasty then I'll be the first to proclaim its awfulness meanwhile be glad women have prosperity and full employment under Donald Trump and our awesome tax plan which will put everyone back to work on their third minimum wage job just to keep the roof on in other great news pink slime is now unregulated food product and has committed to the Republican job creating agenda!! Thank you everyone and I look forward to hearing your thoughts preferably at a safe distance when I can mute your awkward questions over the phone or big bodyguards to escort my constituents out of my town halls…..”
OK M.J., you had me for about a third of your "talking Cory" quote. That it took me so long to realize it was a parody and not an actual quote says nothing about me and everything about the Conman.
The Steve Wynn scandal should scare off even more Republican donors. These guys are so arrogant – they think that they’ll never get caught.
UPDATE: Wynn resigned from the RNC (per kos sourcing from Politico): https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/27/1736479/-RNC-finance-chairman-Steve-Wynn-resigns-on-the-heels-of-allegations-that-he-s-a-serial-rapist
No obvious D who can win state wide today.
In 2 years – a year – ?
Hick is the obvious choice – won statewide twice. But…
What's Groff been doing? Is he still at Education?
Is there no west slope D who could get 44% in the Springs?
No El Paso D who could go 45% in the west slope?
Oprah. She has a house in Telluride. She's perfect.
