PATH TO THE PRIMARY: Democrat Frontrunner Just Needs Democrat Support
The media might consider John Hickenlooper as the Democrat frontrunner to win the party’s primary to challenge U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, yet the candidate himself seems to have doubts.
Hickenlooper signaled his vulnerability within his own party by turning in thousands more signatures than required to petition his way onto the ballot waaaaaay early.
When asked about any plans to go the convention route, where Hick will need nearly a third of actual Democrats to support him, the failed presidential contender balked.
Hick told the Colorado Sun his “attention is focused elsewhere.”
“I don’t know,” Hickenlooper said. “We are worried about the signatures first. Talk to me about the caucuses next week.”
The caucuses actually start in about two weeks, so Hick might want to begin worrying about getting support for Democrats, uhm, now.

DIPLOMACY: Polis Insults Trump Before Boarding Air Force One to Ask for Favor
Gov. Polis managed to squeeze in some time between his regular duties of bashing Republicans in order to suck up to President Trump as soon as Air Force One hit the tarmac in Colorado Springs on Thursday.
Polis was escorted onto the plane, where he reportedly urged President Trump to make Colorado Space Command’s permanent home.
It’s funny when liberals get all high and mighty insisting Trump doesn’t know how to be diplomatic.
President Trump is meeting with Gov. Jared Polis aboard Air Force 1, according to the White House pool. A White House spokesperson says the meeting “demonstrates the President’s ongoing commitment to meet with governors of both parties on issues important to their state.” — Justin Wingerter (@JustinWingerter) February 20, 2020
Yet Democrats seem to think it’s okay for them to totally trash a person’s character and then demand favors.
Just a reminder that Jared Polis likened Trump to a demagogue in a fundraising email earlier today. #copolitics https://t.co/i5V6wmJJhF — Jesse Aaron Paul ☀ (@JesseAPaul) February 20, 2020
Luckily for Colorado, our Republican delegation including U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner has been lobbying Trump for months to choose Colorado over Alabama and Florida.
Nonetheless, it was very diplomatic of Trump to honor Polis with the invitation to board Air Force One to discuss the issue personally.
Judging from comments by Trump and Gardner, Colorado’s chances of landing Space Command were already very strong.

SANDERS V. HICKENLOOPER: Bernie Bros Could Muscle Out Senate Win
Floyd Ciruli thinks Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders is a problem for John Hickenlooper’s U.S. Senate campaign.
Not just in the primary, where Hickenlooper has already turned in petitions to bypass his party’s convention that will be overrun with Bernie Bros.
A Sanders nomination could haunt Hickenlooper all the way to the General Election, Ciruli writes:
Cory Gardner will be the major beneficiary as moderate Republicans stay with the President and moderate Democrats abandon the ticket.
We agree there’s little to zero excitement for any of the 10 Democrats running for Colorado’s U.S. Senate Race.
So if Democrats are willing to abandon the race at the top of the ticket, voters are just as likely to forget about turning in their ballots for everyone on the ticket.

A new poll indicating how Colorado voters will cast ballots in the Democrat’s presidential primary on Super Tuesday shows Bernie Sanders with a strong lead over the field.
That’s not a surprise, given Sanders also won the 2016 primary but was robbed by Democrat superdelegates who muscled Hillary Clinton into the spot.
More than half of those participating in the Data for Progress poll said their minds were made up.
Here’s how the candidates ranked:
34% Bernie Sanders

Another poll by Magellan Strategies shows Sanders leading with 27%, followed by Warren with 15%, Buttigieg with 12% and Bloomberg and Biden tied at 11%.
Respondents in the Data for Progress poll overwhelming said they also support a “Green New Deal to invest trillions of dollars in clean-energy jobs and infrastructure over the next ten years to fight climate change.”
What the poll didn’t ask, is if that same 93 % of respondents even realize the trillions in spending include their own money, also known as tax dollars.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is being linked to a vast new crop of dark money groups that are spending millions in key states to take control of the Senate from Republicans just so their benefactor can be the boss.
Rocky Mountain Values launched in Colorado in May, and by January had spent more than $1.8 million on ads targeting Republican Sen. Cory Gardner. The group’s executive director, Alvina Vasquez, was political director for Democratic Gov. Jared Polis’s 2018 campaign.

Nope.

At the very least, Hickenlooper could have found a lawyer that isn’t costing us $525 an hour.
But the ethics investigation into Hickenlooper’s travel while governor didn’t seem to bother Democrat voters when Hick ran for president.
It doesn’t seem to be a problem for Democrat voters in Hick’s run for the Senate, either.

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet says a Bernie Sanders presidential ticket will hurt other Democrats running for office in Colorado, and he’s urging the party faithful to vote against the socialist senator.

What Bennet means is, Democrat John Hickenlooper can’t get elected to the U.S. Senate if he’s running with a Socialist leading the party.
Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner would certainly win reelection, Republicans would retain control of the Senate, and Bennet’s just bummed he has to return to his day job there.

More than half of Colorado’s 1.2 million Democrats eligible to vote in today’s Super Tuesday presidential primary have turned in their ballots.
Thousands of votes cast for candidates who dropped out at the last minute, like Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg will still be tallied, the votes just won’t matter.
However, the Secretary of State’s office says you can change your mind if you still have your ballot.
If you have marked a ballot but have not returned it, you can change your selection by crossing out your first pick and then marking the oval next to your preferred candidate. Or, you can get a replacement ballot in-person at a VSPC. Visit https://t.co/OQ2SXOeniQ. — Jena Griswold (@JenaGriswold) March 2, 2020
We will know eventually this week how many votes were wasted by early voting. As we said, all the ballots will be tabulated, including those cast for drop-out candidates Tom Steyer, Cory Booker, Andrew Yang, Deval Patrick, and Boulder favorite Marianne Williamson.
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s name is also still on the ballot, but he was clever enough to file the proper paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office so his votes won’t be counted, and he won’t be embarrassed by a low vote total in his own home state.
Upon dropping out of the race, Klobuchar and Buttigieg both threw their endorsement to party establishment favorite Joe Biden, but Socialist Bernie Sanders is still the favorite to win in Colorado.
What will be interesting is to see how well Mike Bloomberg fares.
Today is the former New York mayor’s first time appearing on the ballot, and he’s betting all his chips on Super Tuesday to deliver him enough Electoral College votes to have a shot at the presidential gig.

OFF WITH HER HEAD !
Denver ’ s Socialist Democrat Councilwoman Sucks at Sarcasm Socialist Democrat Denver Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca has endorsed public mass murder with a deadly virus as the best and most entertaining way to reeducate voters and elected officials who disagree with her politically .
Isn ’ t that the meaning of the word “ solidarity , ” her fist pump , and the “ okay ” hand signal ?
The laughing emojis also signal that CdeBaca finds the sentiment of a biological terrorist attack on her fellow countrywomen and men to be hilariously funny .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s what we do on this page every day .
We snark for a living .
We make fun of politicians when they say or do stupid stuff .
Conversely , it ’ s CdeBaca ’ s job to be an adult councilwoman making sure Denver is prepared to handle a pandemic instead of playing with emojis on Twitter .
The councilwoman ’ s excuse that she was just being sarcastic is just as immature and irresponsible as the offending tweet .
And for the record , googly eyes or upside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being silly and sarcastic .
Furthermore , it ’ s never a good idea to be silly or sarcastic about killing folks .
The 1,389 character statement to explain CdeBaca ’ s 25 character retweet of someone musings on spreading a deadly virus at an event attended by hundreds of innocent people is proof in itself she was not just being sarcastic .

If she thinks that ’ s funny , she needs help .

We ’ re not surprised CdeBaca is refusing to take responsibility for her childish behavior .
What we find unacceptable is that some in the local media would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wrong , but also cover for her .
Here are all of CdeBaca ’ s bizarre excuses , which she explains after reading the mind of the person who wrote the tweet , and how this post of hers translates to all that : Twitter is twitter .

WINNERS AND LOSERS: Colorado Was Not Relevant on Super Tuesday
Democrats and the Denver Post are pushing some far-fetched and conflicting talking points on their conclusions that Colorado’s return to the presidential primary system was a success.
The win by Bernie Sanders “delivered big” on promises that Colorado would receive greater relevance in the primary process, the Denver Post reports.
“We have clearly seen the difference a primary makes in terms of more voters participating in the decision — and when more people vote, democracy wins,” Morgan Carroll, the Colorado Democratic Party’s chair, said Wednesday.
That’s great and all, except all the focus was on California and Texas, not Colorado.
Plus, more voters didn’t change anything. Sanders won Colorado in 2016 before SuperDelegates bigfooted their choice and handed it to Hillary Clinton.
Sanders won again in 2020.
More voters equaled the same results, only this time, America will rain all over Colorado’s choice and chose the other guy.
The Post also touted all those candidates who campaigned in Colorado as a primary process win.
The 2016 candidates also campaigned in Colorado.
This time around, Joe Biden did not campaign here, and yet the former Veep is now the frontrunner.
Even Sanders knows his win here was meaningless.
His head was hanging lower than Eeyore’s tail after Super Tuesday, where he won only three out of 14 states.
There’s our relevance. Colorado Democrats keep backing the same guy who won’t win.
And this despite the endorsements racked up for Biden across the state’s party leaders.
Turns out voters don’t care these bigwigs endorsed Biden: Denver Mayor Michael Hancock; former Denver Mayor Federico Peña; former U.S. Rep. Mark Udall; former U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar; Senate President Leroy Garcia; Senate President Pro Tempore Nancy Todd; State Reps.

coloradopeakpolitics--2020-03-10--CENSURE NOW: City Council Can’t Keep Ignoring CdeBaca’s Official Tweet on Coronavirus

CENSURE NOW : City Council Can ’ t Keep Ignoring CdeBaca ’ s Official Tweet on Coronavirus The Denver City Council should censor Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca for endorsing threats of violence against the public using the coronavirus as a weapon , says Kristina Cook chair of the Denver County Republican Party .
Cook addressed the council Monday night and made a strong case for censure , to which no one on council responded , and no media we ’ ve seen has reported : “ If you believe as I do that all Denver residents deserve to share peacefully in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a dissenting viewpoint – and if you further believe that as our elected representatives on the city council , you have a special duty to seek that community for all of Denver ’ s residents – I strongly urge you to censure Councilwoman CdeBaca for her endorsement of a threat against those she disagrees with politically , and further censure her for using her official government social media account to do so.
” Cook is correct , no one is holding CdeBaca accountable because her inexcusable remarks and action were directed towards Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the far left .
Imagine if a police officer had made the same retweet response on a similar message that targeted a hip hop concert instead of a Republican rally .
The media would not be making excuses and the council would not look the other way .
Cook went on to correctly describe how the culture in the Denver area has progressed to where verbal and physical attacks against Republicans have become implicitly okay .
Like we said , even the media is making excuses for CdeBaca ’ s claim she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sarcasm , laughing , or making jokes about killing people was ever okay for anyone in a position of power , let alone an elected official .
That CdeBaca did so on an official social media account comes with the implicit endorsement of the full council , the mayor , and the city as well .
At what point will the council decide that laughing emojis in conjunction with messages of intentionally spreading the virus are in direct opposition to the stated goals of Denver , the U.S. and other countries around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus ?
When people start dying in Colorado , is that when CdeBaca ’ s behavior will no longer be acceptable ?
Good evening , Council .
My name is Kristina Cook .
I am the chairwoman of the Denver County Republican Party , and I am speaking here as its official spokesperson .
I ’ m appearing here tonight because actions should have consequences .
Councilwoman CdeBaca ’ s February 28 tweet endorsing a threat of violence against innocent people deserves censure .
Let me begin my remarks by saying that no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they say , and if Councilwoman CdeBaca is receiving such threats , I condemn them in no uncertain terms .
However , Councilwoman CdeBaca ’ s explicit endorsement of the tweet promising to bring the Coronavirus to President Trump ’ s supporters at rallies is itself a threat .
Using her official Twitter account to do so is unforgivable .
This threat is no less disturbing than had Councilwoman CdeBaca endorsed a tweet of a plan to bomb a MAGA rally , or to release sarin gas into a MAGA rally .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physical attacks against Republicans have become implicitly okay .
As a Republican who has lived in Denver County for 11 years , I have been attacked , threatened and targeted by those who don ’ t share my political ideology .
In 2017 , I was physically attacked along with other volunteers by ANTIFA at PrideFest for publicly supporting both the LGBTQ community and President Trump .
Bystanders did nothing except video it on their phones .
The police did not respond .
Violence against Republicans was shown to be implicitly okay .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ by a school board candidate at the MLK Marade , targeted for my skin color and my political affiliation .
Bystanders did nothing .
Violence against Republicans was shown to be implicitly okay .
I am probably inviting more threats by daring to show my face here this evening to make this statement .
But it is time for someone to stand up and say that inciting violence is NOT okay .
It is not okay for anyone – let alone our elected officials – to endorse or condone violence against members of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different solutions than yours to the problems we face .
Councilwoman CdeBaca ’ s tweet was an EXPLICIT endorsement of violence against Republicans , against innocent people she does not know .
This is NOT okay .
We have the opportunity to create a community in Denver that transcends political ideology , a community where we come together to find the best solutions by listening to all voices .
Solutions that are innovative , that reflect the grit and the pioneering spirit that built Denver on the banks of the South Platte 162 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live in Denver today .
That community can not be created when our elected officials stir up hate and division , and believe that some of our residents should be sacrificed because they believe in different solutions than they do .
If you believe as I do that all Denver residents deserve to share peacefully in that community , without fear of expressing a dissenting viewpoint – and if you further believe that as our elected representatives on the city council , you have a special duty to seek that community for all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strongly urge you to censure Councilwoman CdeBaca for her endorsement of a threat against those she disagrees with politically , and further censure her for using her official government social media account to do so .
Denver should be a city that is safe for all of us .
Please do your part to make it so .

That CdeBaca did so on an official social media account comes with the implicit endorsement of the full council, the mayor, and the city as well.
At what point will the council decide that laughing emojis in conjunction with messages of intentionally spreading the virus are in direct opposition to the stated goals of Denver, the U.S. and other countries around the world to contain the spread of the coronavirus?
When people start dying in Colorado, is that when CdeBaca’s behavior will no longer be acceptable?
Here’s Cook’s full statement:

March Madness has taken on a literal meaning as the NCAA cancels all tournament games , NASCAR race stands are closing to the public , and every conceivable parade and special event is being postponed to prevent the spread of coronavirus .
The state legislature is also juggling to skip work early and take a paid vacation to self-quarantine and prepare for the coming pandemic by binging “ The Walking Dead ” on Netflix .
Spoiler alert : They don ’ t horde toilet paper or sanitary wipes in a zombie apocalypse , just guns and ammo .
But before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take care of certain measures to ensure public safety and keep us all safe from harm .
The rapidly changing situation prompted anxiety at the Capitol on Thursday , where lawmakers were told to be flexible but also to stay calm amid the uncertainty .
In a matter of days the situation went from wait-and-see to a frenzy of closed-door meetings and action , mimicking the coronavirus ’ rapid spread and the pressure it ’ s putting on state government .

PANIC PREP: State Legislature Works Fast to Scare Everyone
March Madness has taken on a literal meaning as the NCAA cancels all tournament games, NASCAR race stands are closing to the public, and every conceivable parade and special event is being postponed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The state legislature is also juggling to skip work early and take a paid vacation to self-quarantine and prepare for the coming pandemic by binging “The Walking Dead” on Netflix.
Spoiler alert: They don’t horde toilet paper or sanitary wipes in a zombie apocalypse, just guns and ammo.
But before splitting town, the legislature wants to take care of certain measures to ensure public safety and keep us all safe from harm.
Just kidding.
The rapidly changing situation prompted anxiety at the Capitol on Thursday, where lawmakers were told to be flexible but also to stay calm amid the uncertainty. In a matter of days the situation went from wait-and-see to a frenzy of closed-door meetings and action, mimicking the coronavirus’ rapid spread and the pressure it’s putting on state government.
We have a hard time believing an emergency exit is necessary as a public health measure.
Quite frankly, it’s time for folks in charge up there to show some backbone and stop scaring people into hoarding common household supplies or canceling their ski vacations.
Elected officials are coming dangerously close to crossing the line and scaring the U.S. into an economic slump.
And we know exactly who they will blame.
Instead of running around in a panic, lawmakers need to wash their hands and get back to work.

NEW AD: Polis Must Stop Wasting Economic Recovery Dollars
Local advocacy group Unite for Colorado released an ad Friday calling on Gov. Polis to end wasteful spending of the state’s 911 economic recovery funds.
The reckless use of the fund, including $80,000 for John Hickenlooper’s private lawyer in an ethics investigation, has continued uninterrupted in spite of widespread media exposure over the last five months.
Check out the ad:
This is money that was supposed to be used for essential government services only, but Polis is using it as a slush fund and that needs to stop.
If the state feels it’s their responsibility to pay for a lawyer when elected officials are accused of breaking the rules as some maintain, that’s one thing.
But to pay a private lawyer more than $500 an hour is just ridiculous and an abuse of the public trust.
Polis needs to start saying no to Hick’s legal bills, because it’s starting to look like Colorado’s going to really need those economic recovery dollars, again.

On the bright side, Democrat leaders aren’t telling old people they have a duty to die like former Gov. Dick Lamm once infamously suggested.

GARDNER TO FEDS: Give Ski Country an Economic Break
Now that ski areas are shutting down, and the summer season isn’t looking so good either for the high country, U.S. Sen. Gardner is asking the federal government to waive lease payments on public lands held by ski companies for the remainder of this year.
“This economic loss is unprecedented for the industry, and any relief would be welcomed news as they take all measures to comply with the health and safety guidelines related to this deadly pathogen,” Gardner said.
That’s a reasonable request, considering the ski industry generates billions in taxes for the feds as well as locally and the state.
The economic impact from early closures could be devastating to those rural economies, especially if we’re still facing shutdowns after mud season is over.
Now is the time for the federal government to inspire confidence by signaling they are willing to help ensure the ski industry is still strong once we’re finally on the other side of this pandemic mess.
