We took note of the photo proudly posted to social media by Republican Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo from a recent campaign swing through Denver by presidential nominee Donald Trump–running in a competitive district full of the kinds of voters likely to find Trump, well, repulsive, Rep. Navarro proudly sucking up to the GOP’s controversial nominee could be considered politically very risky.
Well folks, Rep. Navarro wanted our readers in particular to know she ain’t worried:

And that is indeed a much better quality photo of Rep. Navarro with Donald Trump, everybody! This one should print out much better on Democratic opponent Jason Munoz’s mail pieces. Like we’ve said, the danger of Navarro publicly linking herself to Donald Trump is that it forces her to own Trump’s prodigious baggage–meaning that Trump’s own popularity (or lack thereof) is what makes these photos toxic or not. Photos with a Latina Republican lawmaker are of course good for Trump, but we don’t see how they help Navarro much.
The downside, however, is as big as Trump’s gap in the polls. Trump’s downward trajectory does not inspire confidence in Navarro’s judgment.

Well….every opportunity means every opportunity, I guess. You are going to make Moderatus mad, though…..
Speaking of mad, check out another Palin word salad speech last Friday in Denver. I've listened to it twice, and I really can't tell what she's getting at, except, "We rock, everyone else sucks." Splat on?
Is Trump Groping her? She is very close to Trump in that picture!
Maybe she'll be on stage with Trump again soon. WaPo reports Trump will be back in Colorado,
Univision, meanwhile, reported that three attendees said Trump "plans to present an immigration plan in Colorado Thursday that will include finding a way to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants."
Wasn't "finding a way to legalize millions" the very thing his rabid xenophobic and racist blocs wanted the wall and all the deportations to prevent?
Did I just miss something?
Sure Trump will legalize millions of undocumented immigrants—he will send them back to Mexico and they will be legal there.
oops….for marklane…..
I thought of a couple of very naughty responses….I think I will leave that one alone,
