Hick’ll fly away

Bernie Sanders came to stump for Jared Polis yesterday - and after Polis got shouted down by his own base for not supporting 112 - then Bernie railed against billionaires buying elections. Colorado's Independent Ethics Panel has decided to open the investigation into Governor Hickenlooper's travel. Most of my things these days come from Amazon

Jared feels the Bern

Bernie Sanders is coming to Colorado to campaign for Jared Polis. Although Jared can't name a single issue on which he and Sanders don't agree . . . he's going to try to walk the fine line between trying to tell Bernie's supporters he's just like them while telling most moderate Coloradans he's not a Socialist.

En Fuego

Lynn Myers, businesswoman and former Arapahoe County Commissioner is taking on Rep. Jovan Melton and it's getting red hot - The Aurora Sentinel, which is generally terrible at everything - has even endorsed Myers over Melton, and that's saying a lot.  Things got pretty en fuego last night at the 9 News/Coloradoan debate. We're now having big

Kind-of-ish

Yesterday, we called on Jared Polis to stand up by asking Jovan Melton to step down. Then he did, kind of-ish, but watch the clip. Then anybody who called for Rep. Melton to resign got pretty much straight up called a racist. Oh, and now they are scanning your license plate on Federal Blvd - so

Step up

Other members of Democratic leadership have asked Rep. Jovan Melton to step down . . . Jared Polis, who is running to be the in-state leader of the Democrats has declined to take a leadership position on the issue.  Did you get this mailer? If so, just throw it out. Polis wants his political cake and

Endorsed

The National Federation of Independent Business just endorsed Walker Stapleton. Socialist mascot Bernie Sanders is coming to campaign for fellow far-lefty Jared Polis. Upsetting information about Rep. Jovan Melton's history with women has come to light.

Either/Or

Look, either Jared Polis can hide behind the fact that the governor can't raise taxes OR he can run on expensive programs - he can't have it both ways.  Every time Jared Polis pretends like he's a Hickenlooper-style moderate just remember - Bernie Sanders is coming to Colorado to campaign for him.  And clearly, Jared Polis
