At last weekend’s Colorado Republican Central Committee meeting, Senator Cory Gardner gave Congressman Ken Buck such a full-throated endorsement that his voice almost cracked.
Nominating Buck for Colorado Republican party Chair, Gardner praised his experience and his fundraising and organizing ability before concluding simply, “We need him. I need him. This country needs him.”
“It’s about our federal government. It’s about all of us. It’s about making sure we are prepared for redistricting and reapportionment. It’s about making sure we raise the money and the resources so we have the dollars to fight the fight. Ken Buck has been in the U.S. Attorney’s Office He’s been Attorney General [he hasn’t] He’s been a district attorney. He’s been in the US Congress. He knows what it takes to bring people together across the four corners of the state. From rural Colorado to urban Colorado and everywhere in between. Ken Buck knows how to organize a party. He knows how to bring the grassroots together. He knows how to bring the people who are going to fight for President Trump together. He knows how to win Colorado in 2020, he knows how to win Colorado in the Senate. He knows how to make sure Hillary Clinton- Guess What? Last Democrat to win Colorado- that’s what’s going to happen. Because Ken Buck’s a fighter. We need him. I need him. This country needs him. And I’m proud to second the nomination of Ken Buck to be our party chair.”
Coming from the highest profile Republican in the room, Gardner’s endorsement helped Buck secure his victory over Rep. Susan Beckman. Three days later, Buck made national news for comparing a lesbian mom to a Nazi to her face during a House Judiciary hearing on the Equality Act.

How could Ken Buck know how to win Colorado in 2020? He didn't even know how to win it in 2010.
Perhaps he could turn to George Brauchler for advice. After all, he didn't how to win statewide in 2018.

So an introduction / endorsement of Representative Buck (one of 3 Republican Representatives) by the top elected Republican official (and one of 2 statewide) in Colorado, pushes Buck to a 51.3% majority on the fourth ballot.
I've been using "Republicans are Revolting" — a play on an old Mel Brooks gag — but need a new alliterative match to "Democrats in Disarray".
I will cheerfully buy a beer or two for a suggestion (or the best suggestion) I can use in polite company.
