Second paragraph helps a bit with the Udall/Gardner explanation.
But, to help out, Udall = ultra liberal democrat; Gardner is a moderately conservative Republican representative.
Hickenlooper is the democrat Governor, governing over the ultra liberal democrat legislature that has done things like pass the most absurd gun control laws, election laws, and done things like pass energy policy that cripples Colorado’s rural population.
Thank you for taking the time to explain. Aloha
He also kicked the can down the road on Dunlap too. He's pathetic.
