11. Here is what is really going on in Colorado
Mon Apr 29, 2019, 10:03 AM
Apr 2019

Colorado Republicans are in an abject state of denial about the magnitude of their defeat in 2018 -- they lost almost everything. Every statewide office: Attorney General, Secretary of State, Governor. They even lost every county office in Jefferson County (except sheriff which wasn't contested) for the first time since maybe Watergate (the bellwether county in Colorado).

Trump was down ten points to Clinton and Johnson in 2016 -- Trump has a 57 percent disapproval in Colorado.

Unless Colorado Republicans find a way to move to the center (which they can't do), 2020 is going to be another electoral disaster for them; Trump has virtually no chance of winning this state.

Personally, I reject the mainstream media and the political pundits who hype the horserace and drama of the 2020 presidential election. In a fair election under relatively normal conditions, Trump is a landslide loser.

But ... take nothing for granted!
