Colorado politics could be playbook for GOP response to president's move of immigration

GOP Rep. Cory Gardner won election to the Senate in the midterms in a state where 14 percent of voters are Hispanic. His GOP colleague, Rep. Mike Coffman, won re-election in a district where 14 percent of residents were born in foreign countries.

Both opposed last year's failed bipartisan effort in the Senate to overhaul the nation's immigration system, a top priority of immigrant-rights groups, especially its centerpiece: a pathway to citizenship for most of the 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally. Both also spoke warmly of the contributions made by immigrants and shifted to the center on other immigration issues. Coffman even learned Spanish.

Coffman went on to win his race by 9 points. Gardner tied Democratic Sen. Mark Udall in two heavily Hispanic counties that normally vote overwhelmingly Democratic on his way to a narrow victory.

So what happened to Tancredo? Chris Christie spent $175,000 on a lying attack add that knocked Tom out of the Primary. Can we also expect big money form national interference in Colorado elections like Bloomberg, soros and Christie.

One thing Republicans should do with or without immigration is to defund the damn czars. Obama never had any business creating those positions anyway and they’re just cover for his crap.
