(Not surprising but certainly notable – Promoted by Colorado Pols)
As Trump surges, reporters should tell us about the support, or lack thereof, the magnate gets from local Republican muckety mucks.
We’ve seen coverage of politicos lining up for Clinton (Hick), Cruz (Buck), Rubio (Gardner), Sanders (Salazar), and others. And the Colorado Statesman just reported that top Senate and congressional candidates in Colorado will support their party’s nominee.
But there’s one Colorado Republican who’s openly saying Trump is one of her two top presidential candidates.
That would be State Sen. Laura Woods (R-Westminster), whose November election will likely determine whether Democrats control Colorado state government next year.
On the radio last month, Woods named Trump as one of her two favorite prez candidates.
Here’s what Woods had to say about Trump on KNUS 710-AM’s Saturday morning show, hosted by Chuck Bonniwell and Fox 31 Denver’s Julie Hayden:
BONNIWELL: Well, have you decided who you like in the primaries – the Republican primaries for president?
WOODS: For president. I have narrowed the field –. You know, I attended the debate in Boulder, and it really helped me to see that anyone of these up on that stage would be better than the 3 running on the other side of the ticket. […] So, I at least wrapped my mind around the fact that, you know, — whichever Republican gets the nod, I will vote for that Republican. But my favorites are Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
BONNIWELL: Yeah! Those are mine to. That’s who I like, too.
HAYDEN: That’s everybody’s favorites when you get right down to it. Well, not everybody’s, but….
Let’s be clear that Trump has vocal supporters in Colorado, like KNUS 710-AM’s Peter Boyles, and other notorious vocalists on conservative talk radio. But Woods stands out among folks who can be held accountable by voters for what they do or say.

This interview is over A MONTH OLD. Don't you have anything recent to smear Laura Woods with?
So she doesn't like Trump any more?
Liking Trump or Cruz is a "smear?"
You have a strange party there, neighbor.
Actually, liking Trump or Cruz SHOULD be a smear!
It's a fact, not a smear. a month old becuase it wasn't as relevant then, but, yes, i should have reported it earlier.
Geez, a whole month old. That definitely makes it irrelevant. It's not like the Republican nomination circus is still going on or anything, or that it's still an election year. Moddy, what color is the sky in your reality?
You don't understand, GOPers change their
mindnarrative about as often as Moderatus changes underwear …… and, they've got a memory span about the same as a puppy — if you don't correct them while they're at the very moment they're pissing on the carpet, it doesn't have any impact …
"Everybody" ??????
OMFG!!
Um. Wow. This is such a surprise. Given her background, this is exactly what I would have guessed. Way to try to triangulate between two factions of your warring party. Ever heard of making a decision? That what elected officials are supposed to do. Vote yes or vote no. Take your pick. Um, we all know you are for Ted Cruz because that's the church you go to and that's what they have told you to do. Sorry, but we all know it.
I have not seen much press on what must surely be an internecine war brewing within the Christian right. Unless something has changed, John Hagee and his enormous Jesus Machine are (were?) big fans of the Republican frontrunner. I haven't been paying much attention but I suspect the public brawl is imminent. These people are particularly vicious when they are trying to out-righteous each other…
