Friday afternoon’s moment of unintended hilarity via the Colorado Republican Party’s Twitter account continues to make Colorado politics chuckle the Sunday after:
Colorado Springs Republicans received @WalkerStapleton with vigorous sustained applause. The base is overflowing with energy and excitement. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/OasTW4Qr9o

The first thing we’re obliged to note is that the photo you see above was voluntarily released into the wild by the official Twitter account of the state Republican Party–not a Democratic tracker, or anyone else looking to damage gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton. During Stapleton’s time as state treasurer and certainly in the limelight now as candidate for governor, the inability of photographers to capture a flattering likeness of Stapleton has become a consistent theme, but this pic is really especially bad. As for the photo’s caption celebrating “vigorous sustained applause” that you’ll have to take their word for, well…
If “vigorous sustained applause” lasts more than three hours, please contact your physician. #copolitics https://t.co/1q2XAZCMtN

All we can say is, whoever wrote that hackneyed crap had a priapism joke coming.
As for what Stapleton was saying in this picture to elicit all that vigorous sustained applause? Like the Photoshop-ready cutout above (right-click and “save image” to commence the fun), it’s whatever you want it to be.

Wanted: Photoshop and something shaped like a dong.
That GOP tweet reads like North Korean propaganda. Compare it to this actual statement out of the DPRK:
He's singing his version of "Do, Re Mi" from Sound of Music.
Vote for me, please vote for me
Cause it was my turn to runnnn.
All my signatures are fine
just ask Secretary Wayne
I'll hold back the rampant gays
Keep the potheads all in check
Outlaw 'bortions in the state
No pot in the chickens and
Fracking in every backyard
That will bring us back to
STAPE el Ton, el ton el ton!
Chorus: Vote for me, please vote for meeee, cause it was my turn to runnnn.
Awesome
Walker is yodeling this song (courtesy of "Home on the Range" from Disney)
caption: "Colorado Opera offered last-minute auditions to replace Simone Alberghini, the ailing baritone scheduled to play Count Almaviva. One prominent citizen, Walker Stapleton, stepped forward to help out the company."
Alternatively, to use their tweet,
Colorado
Springs RepublicansOpera received @WalkerStapleton with vigorous sustained applause. The fanbase is overflowing with energy and excitement."I cuts down trees, I wear high heels, suspendies and a bra. I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa."
The CO GOP twitter logo looks like Darth Vader's helmet if the helmet were white.
