.@SenCoryGardner has done a fantastic job representing the people of Colorado. He really knows how to win. Strong on Crime, Borders & the 2nd A, Cory fights hard for our Military & Vets. John Hickenlooper is badly damaged after his horrible run for President. Big Primary trouble!

CBS4 Denver reports:
President Donald Trump reacted on Thursday to John Hickenlooper’s announced bid for U.S. Senate. Hickenlooper made the announcement early Thursday morning.
Trump tweeted his support for Sen. Cory Gardner, the Republican incumbent, saying that he “has done a fantastic job representing the people of Colorado.” And that “He really knows how to win.”
President Donald Trump considers his Twitter account to be his greatest public relations asset, and has used the platform to break major news in addition to offending just about everyone on the planet possibly excepting Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. There’s no question that Tweeting another glowing endorsement of Sen. Cory Gardner seems like a good idea to Trump–but in a state trending strongly away from the GOP brand in the Trump era, fresh off a landslide victory in Colorado for Democrats in 2018 broadly considered a referendum on Trump’s chaotic presidency, there’s a solid argument that this helps John Hickenlooper vastly more.
With the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) now single-mindedly blasting away at Hickenlooper, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) throwing their weight behind Hickenlooper today, and Trump broadcasting who Republicans fear most in this race, Hick can only say thanks to friend and foe alike.

So. Much. Winning. Clearly we need to re-elect a senator who votes with this dimwit 90% of the time?
China retaliates with tariffs of $75 billion on US Goods
I expect Powerful Pear and Moderatus/PodestaEMails/SoiledBlueDress to be laying low following Trump's "hearty" endorsement in the Senate race.
With friends like Deep State Donald and Moscow Mitch, the co-Kings of the Swamp, Colorado Republican leaders don't need enemies.
We can expect our little beauty queen to be triggered on a daily basis henceforth (or at least until the Cabinet invokes the 25th or those Big Macs take their toll.) His entire familial budget benefits from the largess of the American taxpayer (the other half thanks to the appointment powers of a certain occupant of 1600 Penn and the support of our junior senator). Expect him to become more and more unhinged as this unfolds. There won't be a dry cleaner in Pueblo able to return that dress to its original glory once this national nightmare ends.
Trump is pushing our economy into a nosedive, and to avoid the inevitable smoking hole, all he can do is yell at Powell of the Fed to dig faster to make room for his "landing".
There are some eerie similarities between Hoover and Trump. We may be reliving what my mother in law called the “Dirty Thirties”.
Xenophobia, disastrous trade deals, rising fascism, man-made ecological disaster- we have all the ingredients for this recipe.
Good article. In contrast to Trump, who is a mendacious fool, Hoover actually was a successful businessman in his own right, and sincerely believed in his policies, as misguided as they were for the times.
Does anyone have any confidence that Trump believes in anything he does or says?
Good morning, beautiful. Do you have a specific point with this post? Or this is a better way to make an extra $20 bucks before lunch than your usual sorid activites? (while you’re on the taxpayer’s clock).
Hey Buddy.
Here is a riddle for you:
Q: What do Andrew Romanoff and John Hickenlooper have in common?
A: They would both be infinitely better Senators than Cory Gardner.
BTW, you can thank Trump for reminding the voters of the state of Colorado of that fact.
It's almost like our beauty-queen-moonlighting-as-a-federal-employee missed the part where his savior promised everyone the best health care in the world AND told us we'd have the cleanest air and water under his Sadministraiton (if we'd just go back to the good ol' days of coal)
Interesting — Soiled Blue Dress (nice referent — the one I've seen most recently was a photo of Jeremy Epstein lounging in one)
1. follows Romanoff on Twitter, apparently.
2. tweet now shows
3. an interesting labeling of Hickenlooper's entry as "Washington's will" — not certain Romanoff doing that would be as helpful as letting other people make the case.
Is it a mischaracterization?
Was it Washington that twice elected Hick governor or did we voters have a bit to say about that.
If by Washington you mean
