CO-SEN Megathread: Cory In The House

[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.

Hickenlooper would've locked this race down but Gardner is toast anyways. Should cancel out Alabama.

Saw on DKE that Jena Griswold is considering. She’d probably easily win the primary as the only woman in the race if she ran and she’d be the youngest senator if victorious.

I'd rather not given she just got elected SoS last year and we have plenty of good candidates in Colorado

On the other hand, she'd have to wait until Bennet retires or Polis is termed out to take a stab at a higher statewide office. She might be better off striking when the iron is hot.

And she has a much higher profile than anyone currently in the field. And voters have shown they don’t generally care about politicians seeking a new office soon after winning their current one. Ask Sens. Rosen, Hawley, Cotton, Daines

It is bad optics for Jena Griswold and she has not been in her current job long enough. She would be another B-list candidate in this race. Cory Gardner is so lucky, that he will not face any A-lister. (which means he probably will not be triaged) It might not be enough (let's not pretend Jacky Rosen was an A-list candidate). This will be close, but the Democrat should win. Gun to my head, Gardner loses by 2-3

Meh, Hawley didn't seem to be hurt much by it. She's probably not an A-lister, but she's certainly a step up from the rest of the bench. She clearly got a good number of Trump voters in her 2018 SOS race against a scandal-free incumbent:


And Dems don't need an A-lister to win this race anyway.

She won Las Animas? Impressive


In any case, any A list or B list Dem will win easily 5-10. C List wins 2-5

Lol
Gardner is toast

[KaiserDave]

Remember when Ron Johnson was toast? Pepperidge farms remembers.


I am not saying Gardner is poised to win, but I am simply saying the left should not be throwing a victory party a year before election day.

But then can we say the same for Doug?

[KaiserDave]

Romanoff was not going to win so I'm not that concerned
