Colorado’s political world is waiting on George Brauchler.
The district attorney of the 18th Judicial District, which covers the southern swath of the Denver metro area, only wrapped up the grueling, seven-month-long theater shooting trial just over a week ago. But he’s come under enormous pressure to decide on whether to challenge Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in next year’s election.
Republicans have failed to recruit a prominent challenger to the state’s senior senator, and the Colorado seat is key for the party’s hopes to hold onto the Senate in the 2016 elections. “George brings instant credibility,” said Greg Brophy, chief of staff to Rep. Ken Buck, one of multiple members of the Colorado congressional delegation Brauchler has spoken with recently. “The national money will start flowing instantly if he gets into the race.”

I understand George Brauchler’s dilemma. It’s a touch choice for a new father. But the nation needs him. I’m not sure that the nation can survive more Democrats in public office, especially the White House. What good can he be to his children if the nation falls apart?
It would sure be great to get rid of that commie Bennet.
A poll out from “Clarity Campaign Labs”,
Bennett leads Brauchler (potential candidates) by only 3 points, 45%-42%. He leads businessman Robert Blaha (a who said he intends to run) by only 4 points, 45%-41%.
The scumbag is ripe for defeat. I hope Brauchler runs.
