If the attacks happen it won’t change the voting habits of the soft socialists who just want government to take care of their every want.

Democrats are losing all over the county ... they’ve been losing since Obama ran the first time. If we don’t get Colorado this time we’ll get them next time.

Democrats are liars and paid trolls... the country is catching on to them.

Snow board dudes can never go “red.”

In off-year elections with low turnout their money + members can make the difference.

That applies in this case. The national unions dumped tons of money. The school board members didn't have any campaign money. The unions lied their asses off about the situation and there was very little response to it.

Think of it more like wanting a fever to break. Sometimes the illness has to get worse before it can get better.

No one celebrates being sick, but once you’re sick (as our country is under Obama) you want the illness to break before it kills you.

Likewise I want the sickness that is Islam to break before it kills us. Which it absolutely will do.

Someone who does emissions test of cars in Colorado posted here that most of the out-of-state vehicles he sees come from Minnesota. That kinda blows holes in your theory about California supplying the new blood, but I doubt that will change your mind. Seems like small minds are always looking for a scapegoat for problems they see.

I’d like to hear Mr. Trump, in one of his speeches, call out this travesty in Colorado — and then remind conservatives that there is a heavy cost to “staying home” on election day!

An election centered around Boulder -might- not be the bellweather they imagine it is.

I'm not sure what the numbers are, but I am sure there is a huge number of people in or associated with teacher's unions and school system coffers in Colorado. Add to that the not-so-subtle programming coming from kids in the system who are often regaled with horror stories of what will happen if...and bring those stories home.

People can be exceptional conservatives (They're Conservative, except...) and the goring of their personal oxen will swing their vote, even as they complain about other policies they don't like.

As for voting "red", I don't expect that. Just guessing the legal weed influx, the Spanish speaking vote, and the Liberal contingent there along the Front Range and elsewhere may take it blue.

There are two lines:

1) FREE STUFF (until it runs out)

2) UNLIMITED STUFF (but you have to work for it)

Which line is longer?
How do you move them from line 1 to line 2?

You have a really hard time moving them until the FREE STUFF runs out.

If the election was held today between Trump and Granny Trump wins 60/40 60% of people don’t believe a word she says and this Trump not Willard. Trump wants to win and will smother her with crushing TV spots He has 31% of Hispanics 25% of blacks you might not believe that but Granny does because she already planning how to win the black vote. A Democrat has to plan to win the black vote? Really?

The Front Range north of Colo. Springs might be. They’ll be shot if they mess with the Western Slope and points in between.

“Our mission will not be to privatize and charterize and voucherize our schools,” he said. “It will be to see to it that the children do not get an education.”

The recent flip of the PA Supreme Court to majority Democrat was a national teachers union-funded adventure also.
