At least Gardner is polling two points above Vladimir Putin. That's not bad for a U.S. Senator. (I know. I'll be Moderatus for a moment: "Stay the course, Senator! Some day they will thank you!")
McConnell really came to Colorado hoping some of Cory's 24% aura would shine onto him and give him a bump in the polls.
To exemplify how bad Sen. McConnell's and Sen. Gardner's approval ratings are one need only look at early August 1974 when Richard Nixon resigned the presidency. His approval rating after the "Saturday Night Massacre" and the revelations from the White House tapes stood at 24% the day he resigned.
To further put McConnell's 18% in perspective, after the Berlin Wall came down and the Stasi disbanded, the East German Communist Party was polling at 19%. Mitch is almost as popular as they were.
The GOP has to be counting on voter suppression to maintain power. We have to get out there and register voters like our country depends on it.
Because it does.
Once registered, we'll have to stay vigilant and make sure voters stay registered, (not purged for being "inactive" or supposedly a duplicate voter from some other state), by Kris Kobach's Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The latter is the fishing expedition 45 states have refused to fully comply with. 15 states gave Kobach zero information; 30, including Colorado, gave Trump only publicly available information such as name, date of registration, date of birth, and party affiliation. 5 states gave Trump everything he asked for.
Meanwhile, Kris Kobach won't even answer questions under oath about the purpose of his "Election Integrity" Commission.
Trump campaign aides' Look Ahead America Commission, has a stated purpose to encourage "“disaffected” rural and working-class Americans" (read: Republican-leaning) voters to register and vote, while Kobach's commission works to discourage and purge Democratic-leaning voters.
Between now and 2018, we have to push back against voter suppression, aggressively register voters, and push for laws which make voting easier (all-mail ballot elections, same day registration, no requirements for difficult ID to vote).
If we don't do these things, we could be stuck with a Trump / Pence administration, ridiculous SCOTUS decisions, and Putin-lite autocracy. The democracy so many of our ancestors died for will wither and die.
