All you can say is that Aurora isn’t as bad as denver, yet.

Kind of. Coffman used to be pretty good but increasingly he is whatever he needs to be to keep a government position.

Mike Coffman is a Republican, but he’s as weak-willed a RINO as you’ll find. I live in his previous congressional district (and in Aurora). After the dems succeeded in gerrymandering it, Coffman tried to walk the middle of the road by becoming more “moderate” and got crushed. Yet the Karl Roves of the world keep convincing these morons that the key to electoral success is to become “democrat lite.” That never sells because leftists want real democrats and conservatives recoil at “moderates” (RINOs).
People like Rove also seem to believe that “independents” are a group of people whose political leanings sit squarely between left and right, which is really foolish. The reality is that a huge number of independents are disaffected former Republicans who became independent precisely because the Republican Party followed the advice of Rove and others and moved too far to the left. Of course, Trump came along and proved the truth of everything I am saying here. But did the RINOs and the consultant class get the message? Of course not, instead they tried to crucify Trump and everyone who supports him. It’s like if they can’t be captain of the boat, they’re going to shoot it so full of holes that no one can be.
For the rest of us who would really like the boat to keep floating with a non-suicidal captain at the helm, we can keep patching holes as best we can while we futilely hope that the pouting vandals will come to their senses, or we can throw them overboard and get back to business. Oh, and definitely ignore Seaman Rove when he tells you to steer toward the rocks.
