Colorado, as we knew you, goodbye

Colorado went even bluer this election, and it will not be coming back.

The 2022 midterm election results for Colorado say that the state as it was is no more. Colorado went even bluer this election, and it will not be coming back.

"The idea that somehow Colorado is still purplish or has a red streak to it, no, I don't see it at all," said Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute on IITV's Devil's Advocate show. "All of that was absolutely mind-boggling, but what really got me was in the state Legislature."

Caldara interviewed Marianne Goodland, Colorado legislative reporter for Colorado Politics. She said, "This is going to be a far more progressive Legislature than we've seen in some time."

Looking at the election overall, Caldara said that nobody saw this coming, that redistricting was thought only to help Republicans. Senate seats were thought to be more competitive for Republicans because of redistricting, but that turned out not to be the case.

The abortion issue, though moot for a state that allows abortion by law in all nine months of pregnancy, was an issue, according to Goodland. The Dobbs decision drove people to register to vote, and actually vote, probably. "I think it had a more significant role than most people are willing to acknowledge. ... I think the messaging on abortion was effective."

Caldara brought up another problem for Republicans: "I still believe the Democrats have the ground game down."

"You do have a point there," said Goodland. She added that Republicans do the ground game, but in a limited way, and there's considerably more money being spent on these efforts on the left than on the right — two to one.

Goodbye to my old home where I enjoyed mountain climbing so much. I will watch you rot from Florida.

[algore]

Goodbye cruel world
I’m leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye all you people
There’s nothing you can say
To make me change my mind

Goodbye.

Speaking of “mind-boggling” did the referendum pass legalizing mushrooms?

[JBW1949]

Too many Californians moved to Colorado...

[oldasrocks]

So sad, the stupid democrats that took over the mountain townsm Denver and Colorado Springs have destroyed a beautiful state. They move here to get away from californicate but bring it with them.

[Hodar]

If you have been to Denver in the past 5 years; it’s a shit hole and getting much, much worse

[ScottinVA]

The infestation from California is complete.

[Fuzz]

Rocky mountain high?

[LibertyWoman]

How much of this is due to legalizing pot in your opinion?

[max americana]

at least they didnt move to FL. A bud of mine who has probably the biggest Youtube channel about Las Vegas, told me that the 2000’s to 2016, conservative Californians moved there but the past 4 years, idiot Dems are starting to move to Clark county, ruining the city (as if it wasn’t ruined already)

“Dirty Jena” Griswold, CO Secretary of Soros, has completed the total rigging of Colorado “elections”.

[BipolarBob]

I’ll miss the Rockies and Estes Park but my last trip was less enjoyable because of my stay at used-to-be-favorite hotel. Extremely poor service, neighborhood is sketchy looking and of course homeless and panhandling everywhere. I don’t need to frequent blue states anymore than I have to.

BS

That's just The Narrative cover for the vote-rigging.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The bad thing is that DemocRats absolutely cannot draw the line between voting DemocRat and the destruction of a state.

[Frank Drebin]

Getting a little weary of this silly shite that an area can’t change if it swings one way or another. It’s simply not true.

[patriot torch]

I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky

[from occupied ga]

Yes it passed

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#5: "Too many Californians moved to Colorado..."

See what they did to Arizona. See what they are trying to do to Texas. California is a curse upon our Nation.

[BluH2o]

They move here to get away from californicate but bring it with them.

They've been doing it for decades ... remember back in the 1970's seeing bumper stickers stating "Don't Californicate Colorado". They have managed to do just that ... with help from east coast liberals who have migrated west to beautiful Colorado.
