This is the Aurora/Arapahoe/Adams GOP we’re talking about here. He’ll be back.
In fact, he may lose the next race he’s in and then be elected the next GOP state chair…
If he waits a few more weeks to announce, no one will know anything about him – perfect.
Did he take a fence?
But I had to log in just to commend you on one of the cheesiest jokes I’ve ever seen on here.
You DO know I used to be a Redditor. Just sayin’.
when a large stainless steel milk transporter pulled out in front off us. I turned to the kids and said, it’s ok, if we would have hit him everything would have turned out allwhite.
Shortly afterwards, we passed the cheese factory the tanker has pulled into, I threatened to crash our car into it claiming that an accident had just okurd, as we had lost our whey.
My kids think I’m funny:-)
…doffs hat and takes a bow…lol
But this still made me wonder.
Dad’s favorite, repeated hundreds of times over the years:
“You’re going to visit your horses? I’m glad you’ve finally found a stable environment.”
It is a manifestation of one of the unexpected effects of term limits. With instability among the ranks of elected officials and an inadequate amount of time for them to master issues and the craft of being an elected official, people with superficial attractiveness can pop on to the scene and advance much further than their talent should have allowed. The pop up and then fade away as quickly without leaving a legacy. The churn among elected officials is really quite costly to the taxpayers.
ColoradoPols is a liberal reporting sight, not the actual political situation of Colorado. Frazier lost by 7 points, not 10. And in case you’re forgetting, he’s in his 30s. He has a lifetime to get back into politics and win. He could come back in 20, 30 years and spend decades back in elected office.
It might take him a fucking lifetime to get back into politics.
If he’s done for the short term, which you aren’t disputing, he’ll face an uphill battle (to put it kindly) when he decides to get back into it. Have you seen how well Newt Gingrich is faring with the GOP? He was once the most powerful Republican in the land.
And the word is “site.” Not “sight.” Alright?
Yet after that he went on to be Speaker.
… and his current ambition to be president.
He got out of the way, and the establishment apparently is not willing to let him cut back in line.
Yes, there generally is such a bright future for councilmen from mid-sized cities who then lose two consecutive races for more substantial jobs.
And yes, failed-pol councilmembers get even stronger if they sit out politics for 20 years following their repeat losses. Kind of like how it’s so common for a fat 55 year-old to return to the career as an NFL linebacker that fell apart 20 years earlier.
There’s a point at which looking on the bright side just denies reality, dude.
In a year, he can show up in a conservative think tank, speaker at party fundraisers, that kind of thing. As you said, he’s good at hitting the partisan points like the border fence, and a pretty good speaker.
Another campaign is right out though, at least until he can prove to potential donors and his own party that he can succeed at something else…somewhere else.
The Repubs need him.
1. Good looking.
2. Young.
3. Black.
Ryan is everything an old Tea Party fart is not.
5. Willing to be a token
6. Interesting campaign finance spending
Frazier was on the radio pre-election. I think it was Rosen however Brown was filling in. A caller, who sounded like they were from Pols, asked Frazier how he would represent the people and not just himself.
His answer was pathetic. He went on a long rant about how his mother and God taught him to be successful.
Me Me Me, basically selfish. Self-interest is healthy and okay to an extent.
This is how I would answer.
There is no way I can represent all of the people because all of the people never agree. I cannot even represent those who will vote for me because they do not agree. The best I can do is listen intently and stay informed. You are electing me because you trust me to represent you and your neighbors. If you want me to vote for you, you should replace representative government with direct Democracy and vote for yourself.
I will do the best I can to stick to Republican values such as the individual, freedom, personal responsibility and limited yet effective government.
You have to trust the constitution, rules and system I must abide.
You have to trust my decisions, if you do not, elect somebody else.
B/c that would explain a lot.
