Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet announces run for governor
Roll Call ^ | Apr 11 | By Niels Lesniewski

Posted on 04/15/2025 3:25:15 AM PDT by RandFan

Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet announced Friday he is running for governor of Colorado, saying the best solutions to the state’s challenges “will not come from the broken politics practiced in Washington.”

“They will come from us, and that’s why I’m running for governor,” Bennet says in his campaign launch video. “It’s here we can make health care, housing and child care more affordable. It’s here we can best fight [President Donald] Trump’s corruption while building a better future for our kids and our grandkids.”

With his entry into the race, Bennet joins state Attorney General Phil Weiser in the primary to succeed term-limited Gov. Jared Polis, a fellow Democrat and former congressman.

Long past time, but with Denver totally infested with “California Trash”, the people in the remainder of the state are significantly out numbered.

Why is he running for governor? Why don’t he just follow in the footsteps of the severely retarded Joe Pedo who is going to proclaim himself as President of the Uniited States again tonight. The RATS have convinced the loony toon that he is the President of the United States. They need to have the crazyass Bennet just come out on TV and program himself Governor of the Cuckoo’s Nest State, Calirado.

CO forfeited its senses long ago, even worse than in VA.

Hopefully, this is a sign that the tens of millions of dollars of grift are gone from the US Senate.

Colorado has open primaries, so it’s time for the Republicans to go vote against him in the Democrat primary. Mess up the works early.

Bennet is as close as it comes to a sure thing. He will wipe out opponents in the primary and win the general by at least 15 points.

“Bennet is as close as it comes to a sure thing. He will wipe out opponents in the primary and win the general by at least 15 points.”

And then he will get to name his own replacement in the Senate. Current Governor Rump-Ranger? There are no shortage of disgusting Democrat options in Colorado, so Bennet may be able to find someone even more reprehensible.

A constant stream of Cali tags in my town here in Northern Colorado. Cali and New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts etc. I don’t know why these people come here. They have ruined my once peaceful town.

I think Polis has higher ambitions. A Senate seat would interfere with that.

By 2026, I suspect he will know if he is a serious contender for President.

Sen. Bennet should be asked about the broken policies coming out of his own state. I can’t vote for him, but wouldn’t anyway. He sounds like more of the same bad policy for that state unless he can show differently.

Polis might run for president? Didn’t we get plenty enough of that with Biden? Why doesn’t he run for something more suitable....like dogcatcher for Johnstown?
