Repukes may write off Colorado Senate race...

Republicans may have just forfeited half their Senate pickup chances

And by half, we mean one. But the fact we're writing about what looks like one, very-likely missed opportunity for Senate Republicans to unseat a Senate Democrat underscores just how tight their margin of error is to keep control of the Senate this year.

Republicans can't afford any mistakes, and Tuesday's GOP primary in Colorado looks like it qualifies. In that swing state, Sen. Michael Bennet is one of Senate Democrats' most vulnerable incumbents -- or at least he was supposed to be. Republicans stumbled to find a credible challenger, and a messy, chaotic primary ended Tuesday with the one candidate Senate Republican operatives really, really didn't want to win: El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn.

Glenn is an Air Force veteran and self-described "unapologetic Christian constitutional conservative." He's a Donald Trump supporter (he has called Trump a "patriot&quot and a hard-line conservative who has said he wouldn't moderate his views in a general election nor would he work with Democrats if voters sent him to Washington.

I would like to thank Colorado Repuke voters for nominating a raving lunatic.

1. Republicans in Colorado need to treat this like a race.

Put everything into it to make sure he wins with the intent to also to have as big of coattails as possible for other Colorado races.

2. Also, he's a small, short guy with a Napoleonic complex...

in my opinion. He acts like a puppet of the most extreme in his Party.

3. Sounds like Glenn is simply a reflection of the typical Republican voter nowadays.
