The Denver Post’s Jon Murray
This just brings me back to the sheer stupidity of local Right-wing talking heads thinking the problem was Colorado Republicans not being Trumpy enough and floating candidates who would get eviscerated in a statewide race to primary Cory Gardner.
Especially when Gardner was one of these Republicans:
That quote may just have to become the new masthead for this site!
Drumpf hurt the GOP with more than just his insanity.
But, hey, what does a little GOPer slaughter matter as long as the grifter-in-chief gets his two scoops?? . . .

Mike Coffman agrees with you.
Their sheer stupidity has been on steroids for quite some time. I wrote this in 2014 and it rings even more true today.
"President Trump’s job approval among all unaffiliated voters is toxic, with only 31% approving of the job he is doing, 62% disapproving, and 48% strongly disapproving of the job he is doing.
Overwhelmingly, the top two issues that were important to unaffiliated voters and influenced their vote for Governor and the state legislature were education and healthcare."

Gardner, are you listening?
Does he ever listen?
I know Cory very well and, yes he's a very good listener. But to whom should he listen — the rabid right – wing base like Brophy and Buck that nominated him last time and can primary him if he lets his Hitler Youth membership lapse, or moderate unafiliated voters who will dump on him if he plays kissee kissee Trump butt?
It's not a simple problem.
No it's not. I have a hard time being sympathetic though. Partly due to the policies they have tried to ram down our throats and partly due to the Faustian Bargain he, and his party, have made with Trump (in part to push those policies). Many Republicans not in Trumpy areas have paid the price for their fealty. Others that have not paid the price yet, will.
As far as Cory listening, I am going based on things like the Tax Scam and Heath Care repeal. He was full bore for those over the objections of the majority of his constituents. Likewise on Kavanaugh. So, it feels that he does not listen to anybody who is not the Kochs or does not have the power or influence to cause him to lose a primary.
Depends. How much were you thinking of donating?
He LI$TEN$…YE$, he DOE$….
You might rent him for a few days if you have 5 figures to offer. But it takes serious Koch money to get a multiyear lease.
He may have led them, but as the Eagles sang "Ah, but (s)he can't take you anywhere you don't already know how to go."
