Colorado is a deep blue state. He doesn’t have a lot to lose and may think he will pick up the independents. I highly doubt he will. He’s lost the republican base backtracking on abortion This will be a landslide for Bennet

Odea is a moron. He couldn’t help but pander to CNN for the anti Trump orthodoxy and now he has zero chance of winning. You think a Demonrat candidate would ever make such a pious claim to campaign against dirtbag homObama in a competitive senate race? What a fool.

Colorado in general has some serious, serious issues. They have a knack at producing some of the worst candidates imaginable, from both parties.

“Fighting with Trump in Colorado probably gives him cred among the lefties there.”

Nope. It’s a moronic approach that simply ensures his defeat.

Ask ex-Senator Cory Gardner how that same Trump-hating “strategy” worked out for him in 2020. Or ask blithering idiot Darryl Glenn how it worked for him in 2016.

Losers gonna lose.

The sky is falling!-The sky is falling!

Based on his comment, how would we know the difference from him and the "Dim" you fear?

We already know there's no difference between Schumer and McConnell. So why are you shaking in your boots over this nitwit?

It was not MAGA policies that he opposes, but DJT, the spokesman for those policies. May I add that my high opinion of Trump changed when he began to belittle that excellent governor, DeSantis.

It’s unfortunate for Joe O’Dea and the GOP that he is such a #NeverTrumper. Joe has an interesting back story as an adopted son of a policeman, who left college in his senior year in order start working in his chosen field. Joe formed his own construction company.----

If he wins this Senate election, he will be one of those we have to work around vs work with.

First you praise then you give a good reason NOT to elect him.

If he's doing public works and not flying around in huge jets, putting up buildings with his name on them, then he needs to keep his liberal roots and infiltrate the Republican party.

I'll take the multi-billionaire and the "Pillowman" any day.

liberals will vote for the other person, and o’dea just sealed his fate by making conservatives not voting at all.

I'm not shaking in my boots. And I get the whole bit about not wanting to vote for a RINO so we can teach them they have to earn our votes. I get it. I've done that. And I get that McConnell's only saving grace (at least IMHO) is that he helped Trump's justice picks get moved along. Everything else for the conservative cause he seemed to be about as Dim as a Dim. I get every bit of that.

But two things:

1. How sure are we that McConnell would be the Senate Majority leader if the Republicans can control of the Senate?

2. How happy are you with the thought of having a Dim Senate Majority Leader if to rubber stamp whatever judges/justices Brandon appoints in the next 2 years? At least with McConnell he's good on that end. And that's a big deal because these are lifetime appointments.

That seems like a cost that's worth considering before we all make sure the true Dim wins this senate seat instead of the pretend Dim.

The only Scotus that comes to mind that I can say truly has screwed the country is John Roberts. Never mind who approved him. He couldn't have been approved without Republican votes in the Senate. Do you know who appointed him and what party he belonged to? You might have even voted for that President, maybe even got fooled into thinking we was conservative.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about the wonderful humans known as judges the Republicans prop up, only to be stabbed in the back by them. So don't preach to me about Judges.

This is one of McConnell’s great candidates. McConnel is going to cost us a Senate seat.

We won’t lose the senate. We’ll get at least two, maybe three net. Outside shot of four with NH.

Two new polls show Masters up 1, down 1. Oz up 2 in PA. Walker up 2, down 1 or two in GA.

Baris says the shape/character of the electorate is heavily R this time around. So I think we win all three, hold OH, MO, NC.

This little story tells you all you need to know about the red wave that’s coming.

Oh so excited with that loser on the ticket. We are so done for in Colorado. It took a decade or two, but we are Cali of the Rockies now.

Not really. The R ever had a chance in Colorado anyways. I doubt we will elect a statewide R candidate for anything in the next decade
