CO-PPP: Polis +8

[Maxwell]

The problem seems to be that Gardner WAS the Colorado gop bench. Stapleton is like their second or third best guy. The future of the Colorado GOP does not look bright if this is happening.

I'm surprised Trump's approvals are that high in Colorado.

i have a theory -

okay so Trump's approvals are going up, but now the GOP is inevitably tied to him. So Republican candidates are hit with all of his weaknesses (mainly the policies they've enacted) and none of his strengths (his ability to dominate news coverage, ability to engage a crowd, ect.). This happened under Obama, where the Democrat party was tied to Obama and they faced all of the criticisms of Obama but not any of Obama's once in a lifetime political talent. This is why, despite the Democrats own set of issues, I believe they'll take the house in 2018 but probably lose the presidency in 2020.

Whoa so Governor Doug Lamborn isn’t happening?!

lol

I was very surprised at the margin Doug Lamborn won by in his primary, though that might speak more to the incompetence of Hill and Glenn (lol).
