CO-SEN Megathread: Cory In The House

[wesmoorenerd]

Couldn't find a megathread, so here we go.

Andrew Romanoff is in... maybe, could just be a paperwork thing

[ElectionsGuy]

Washington DC will never be the same

Ew. I'll support literally anyone over Andrew Romanoff in the primary. He's the worst major Democratic politician (if you can even call him major) in Colorado.

I think my signature says it all. Trump is safe in 2020, and so is Confident Cory

tbf swing voters are idiots
See Walker and Baldwin voters. I still think Gardner is close to doomed but its laughable that Gardner is doomed as Doug Jones is.

Right now, I am firmly convinced that Cory Gardner is headed to defeat in 2020. Not a single statewide Republican won in Colorado this year, Republicans were destroyed in the Denver metropolitan area, and Gardner is one of the most unpopular Senators in the country. Moreover, Trump will lose Colorado by at least high single digits, and the state's demographics will only become more unfavorable to Republicans over the next two years. So long as the Democrats nominate a competent candidate, they should have this race.

All of this is true, but don't forget Gardner is an incumbent, and therefore will run 50+ points ahead of Trump and win this clearly Safe R race.

2018 taught us that incumbency is no longer as powerful a factor as it used to be.

I was being sarcastic. I think this is Likely D.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Outside of Gardner are the Republicans even contesting CO in 2020. I don't see Trump doing 10 rallies in CO this time so he basically on his own here.

[KaiserDave]

Gardner is toast. Trump is losing Colorado by at least high single digits, and it's not like he's gonna try and buoy Gardner, Gardner will probably run slightly ahead of Trump. He's voted like Michelle Bachmann (voting record not personality) for the past 4 years, and after GOP got clobbered in 2018 and too in 2016 in the state, there is really no path to victory.
And if Hickenlooper runs, then Crooked Cory should just drop out.

Change but still

TBF they did nail Iowa 4th and probably brought the last minute interest in it.

Is that you, Loony Larry?

[IceSpear]

Is Cory Gardner going to run on banning condoms again? It worked pretty well in 2014...

[SnowLabrador]

In 2014, Gardner won Larimer County and got over 60% in Weld and Douglas Counties. He basically swept the suburbs, and he won by 1.9%. That's not happening again.

he could possibly get 60% in Weld lol Trump got 60% of the vote share there.

Remember three years ago when Atlas had this idea that Colorado was about to become Titanium R and the leader of the resistance to President Clinton?

Actually, I don't.

It was a meme that Clinton was a bad fit in Colorado, yes. This was based off some crappy polls but in hindsight it was a pretty stupid thing to believe.

[SnowLabrador]

Mike Johnston is running. I like him, but I ever-so-slightly prefer Crisanta Duran, just because she hasn't already lost a statewide primary.

[Pollster]

Johnston will lose again - he'll lose the progressive vote to Duran and the moderate suburban vote to one of the older men.

Trump only got 56% of the vote in Weld County

[SnowLabrador]

This field could be huge, just like the presidential race. But, with all due respect, we don't know yet whether Duran will run.

I do. Several posters unironically believed that Colorado was less likely to vote for Clinton than any Obama 2012 state or North Carolina until about the summer of 2016.
