Senator Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) has consistently trailed Democrat John Hickenlooper in both polling and fundraising in their race for the U.S. Senate. Tonight, both candidates squared off in the final debate of the Colorado Senate race, and near the end of the hour-long discussion, Gardner stuck a stake in his own heart:
“Do you believe that President Trump is a moral and ethical man?”
The difference between Gardner’s answer and Hickenlooper’s answer is night and day. #COSen #COpolitics pic.twitter.com/kjuhAGdqg0

Gardner had just finished talking about how he believes that Hickenlooper is not an ethical person, but he just couldn’t do it when the question came up about President Trump. Colorado voters DO NOT approve of Trump, who is trailing Democrat Joe Biden in Colorado by 14 points.
This wasn’t the moment that Cory Gardner lost the 2020 Senate race, but it certainly ends any lingering hope he might have had of making a comeback. Gardner is done.

You are fucking kidding right?
No one has ever referred to Fat Donnie from Queens as "moral and ethical".
Payoffs to women he fucked is not "moral".
Stiffing contractors/workers is not "ethical".
I guess Cory's next gig will be bartending at Mar-a-Lago, so he kinda had to say that, right?
Cory knows just how much ketchup the big boi likes in his omelette.
That’s just sad. Did Cory himself ever have any morals or ethics? I can’t remember.
Did they have to switch camera shots so no one could see Cory's nose hit the other one?
As a registered Republican, I need to say that this statement from Cory is among the biggest disappointments of his six year term.
Colorado needs a senator who will work in the best interests of the country and our state; and not be a continual toad & shill for the president.
The handwriting's on the proverbial wall. Gardner's gonna lose, and that gives him license to let his freak flag fly. Dudebro is a monstrous piece of shit and needn't try to hide it anymore.
I love how Kyle Clark cut him off. I think he hates Cory like the rest of us.
I remember the debate in 2014 where Clark wanted to discuss Cory's record on personhood and he said with respect to Gardner's previous support "We're not going to debate it because it is a fact". I don't think Kyle Clark suffers fools with Cory.
I remember that. I guess Clark values the truth too much to put up with that shit.
I think Senator Gardner answered truthfully. By his standards Trump is a moral and ethical man.
Of course, that tells us an awful lot about Gardner's view on those standards.
So, the truth as told by a liar.
