right in the last 5 months. Not just over this particular issue. Maybe other CO folks here can explain Democratic voters' negative view of him better than my ex did.

since the beginning of his first term, this second term was as a lame duck, so he could do anything he wanted and he took a hard right towards corporations.
After all he was raised in a large Corporate Family, and educated in Corporate influenced Business schools. He then had his families money to back him in starting a business...........

He has been talking back and forth with Trump for some time about pardoning her. She tried to undermine the voting system. She allowed access to the voting machines, by a couple of Republican Nerds. Supposedly to check to see if the voting had been tampered with by those machines......what the news never mentions is that they were after the Hard drives/software of those machines used in many states, not just Colorado. You can bet they were exploring the software to see how it could be tampered with, much like EIS? did in the 2004? Election.

Rumor is, that Polis is gonna back our U.S. Senator who is running to replace Polis as Colorado Governor, and in turn, Bennet will recommend Polis to fill out Bennet's term in the U.S. Senate. Bennet couldn't run a pop stand, as he proved in his only claim to fame being Superintendent of the Denver Public Schools, in which he made some major blunders.
We have heard previous little from him, Hickenlooper, and DeGette the entire time they have been in the U.S. House and Senate.
Seeing as Colorado is being targeted BIGLY by the Republicans, trashing on us every chance they get, you would think that those three would have been screaming their heads off from the rooftops.....NOT........they have said nothing this past decade. I saw where DeGette is already running campaign ads, like she has never had to do before......she must be running scared?
Bennet is running ads for Governor, and that is the first we have heard anything from him in forever...... Wonderful that he can spend his time in Colorado Campaigning, and keep his job/income as U.S. Senator..............

he would do as governor. I hope Phil Weiser gets the nomination, but Bennet has the big corporate bucks behind him. Weiser's ads are big on what he actually would do as governor. Weiser has been an activist state attorney general, and has stood up to OJC much more than Bennet has. Bennet's irritation with OJC is much more recent.

DeGette has a primary challenger for once, a young woman named Melot Kiros. DeGette IS running scared, behind in the polling.

I don't care if I get reported.

Probably most people agree with you!

We have no standards anymore. The guardrails are down; do whatever you want.

everyone eventually submits. The application and enforcement of the "Rule of Law" only applies to matters concerning non-MAGATS. Beyond disgusting!

not to bend to trump's pressure.

I was born and raised in Denver. Colorado is always in my heart.

Thankfully, we do have Dem Govs we can count on: Gov Newsom, Gov Pritzker, Gov Josh Green, Gov Wes Moore, Gov Healey, Gov Katy Hobbs, Gov Kathy Hochul, Gov Josh Shapiro, Gov Tina Kotek, Gov Bob Fergusson, Gov Andy Beshear, Gov Janet Mils, Gov Ned Lamont, Gov Spanberger, Gov Matt Meyer, Gov Michelle Lujan Grisham, Gov Dan McKee, Gov Josh Stein, Gov Laura Kelly, Gov Tim Walz, Gov Whitmer, Gov Mikie Sherrill, and Gov Tony Evers

Then of course, there's Vermont with a Republican Gov., apparently "moderate".

Hopefully, next time Colorado gets a strong Democratic Gov.

Julius Caesar multiple times in conjunction with other state attorneys general. He's an actual progressive - Polis is more of a big business libertarian. Not sad to see him go.

Back when he was running for Attorney General.

Get to know Phil Weiser, the Democratic candidate for Colorado attorney general

Democrat Phil Weiser won a hard-fought primary against state Rep. Joe Salazar to secure his party’s nomination for Colorado attorney general, spending roughly $1 million to secure the chance to be on the Nov. 6 ballot.

snip****

This is why we lose.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit!! Thank you for NOTHING Governor!@!

a born again NAZI!!!!

in Colorado, of which there are still a few.

There must be sufficient punishment to deter the next one

It's getting tougher and tougher to traverse this Country.

I genuinely feel bad for Coloradans that were fooled by this Assh*le.

Rule of law my ass!

Colorado are just as mad as we are, if not madder.

I'm not writing Colorado off.

I was less than kind in another OP. Some unflattering swears might even have been expressed.….

Not writing off

I don't understand? Polis will be gone, and Colorado will get a real Dem Gov. Hopefully!

imagien.

Brainwashed by lies..Tina Peters broke very serious election laws. She deserved her verdict.

Not buying what Polis is selling.

to express my displeasure.

Poppet time!

Colorado will always be in my heart. ❤️

What's Poppet time!?

to go out the door with.

IOW, appeasing PEDO on Tina Peters. Setting her Diseased mouth loose on America

Like Polis.

all these thugs learn is that there is no accountability and that they can get away with impunity.

smear all Dem Govs or Dems.

Polis has other signs of appeasing the Traitor regime... signaling approval of rfk jr.

FUCKING COWARD.

He, or any Dem would get a sliver of a fraction of a break from the "cruelty is the point" crowd??

Fetterman Syndrome - avoid at all costs.

Just in time for the midterms! How long before she's appointed to head the state's election operation?

F Jared Polis!

Or for any officer after this.

playing dead, as if that's going to attract voters. It doesn't. It demoralizes the base and invites disrespect from others. It sends the message that the party is weak. And most Americans despise weakness.

And if Polis thinks he or the party will get any points or favors from Trump or the Republicans for this, he is living in a world of fantasy. In fact, his action will only invite future election tampering by giving Peters a slap on the wrist, instead of allowing her to serve out her sentence, thus incentivizing this type of criminal act.

As Churchill said regarding Chamberlain's appeasement to Hitler: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

Our party leaders just don't understand the gravity of this historical moment. They're still living in 1985. This is depressing and demoralizing.

She was never serious about her position as County Clerk. She was there for just ONE reason: To disrupt the election process to advantage Trump's chances. She is a deeply flawed human being and a disgrace to the professional position that she corrupted. Since her sentencing, Trump has done as much damage to Colorado as possible, i.e., the dismantling of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, relocating the US Space Command to Alabama, and cutting off funds to needy Colorado families. Attorney General Phil Weiser has sued to stop the Space Command relocation. He is currently looking to run for Colorado's next governor.

That always works....

He shows his true colors.

Fuck this prick

to fucking Trump and give him a nice big Colorado Fuck You! but instead he caved.

I was born in Colorado and have lived here all my life, and this decision by our governor, who SHOULD be looking out for us, instead betrays the people of the state I love.

Doesn't say much for his character.

office of the governor:
303-866-2471

I hope I didn't dupe it. If I did I'll delete it. I was just watching a podcast and saw it there 15 minutes ago. I included the podcast video in my post.

I am super pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Polis has praised Trump on multiple occasions. Both on appointing RFK Jr. (WTF?) and on Venezuela. This goes well beyond “moderate politics”. He’s actively praising Trump’s picks and policies.

Hopefully this ends any future aspirations within democratic politics. He’d be another Fetterman if he got elected to the senate. I think he was entertaining a presidential run. lol, that’s definitely dead in the water, but I think the state dems won’t nominate him for the senate either. This is likely the last straw.
