The Hill ^ | 3/8/2020 | Justin Wise

Andrew Romanoff, a staunch progressive who has championed policies such as the Green New Deal, on Saturday claimed victory over former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper in the state's Democratic Senate caucuses.

Romanoff made the declaration with reported results showing him earning 55 percent of the raw vote and Hickenlooper with just 31 percent, the Denver Post reported. The Colorado Democratic Party has said that 55 of the state's 64 counties have reported results.

Yes you’re right. Had to actually read the article to determine that. Imagine ;-)

“Really? Hickenlooper isn’t satisfied with being governor and must now stick his snout back into the public trough as a state senator?”

Hickenlooper is a former governor who was term-limited out ... and he’s running for U.S. Senator, not state senator ...

The problem with caucuses vs primaries. Extremists are far over represented in the caucusing process. On the right, that typically means pro-life, pro 2A, small government, pro family types. On the left, it means absolute kooky socialist, anti-civilization, kill the white men, LGBTXYZ agenda freaks.

I think you are right that it was the Bernie Bros that overwhelmed the caucuses and picked this kook. Hopefully, that doesn't translate in November, though I think it will be Biden.

“Don’t count on Romanoff being an easy target. He’s very smooth. I know people in the oil and gas business who have met him and came away thinking he was a “reasonable” guy”.

That’s how the bastards operate. And they know it’s pretty easy to fool most people today because they can’t discern.

totally ... that was why colorado voted to nuke the presidential caucuses in favor of a state-wide primary ... many of us thought we were nuking ALL caucuses, but turned out it was just for the prez ...

Unfortunately, the Colorado caucus is irrelevant. A candidate needs 30% of a caucus vote to appear on the actual primary ballot, or a candidate can obtain signatures.

Either way, Hickenlooper will win the June primary in a landslide, so Gardner is going to have a tough time in November.

Everyone thought Ron Johnson was a goner in November 2016 and he was reelected to his senate seat by a decent margin, so you never know.

Gardner actually stands a chance of being re-elected now.

My thoughts exactly. Now if he'll just stand up and fight.

Any time “huge upset” is used in a sentence with regards to the “chickenpooper’s” demise, it creates a smile.

Republican Cory Gardner isn't all that good, but he's far better than any of the leftist democrats in Colorado by far. Gardner was at least smart enough to embrace Trump for his reelection strategy, instead of the usual losing strategy of establishment republicans of trying to win over democrat voters. That strategy loses far more republican votes than it gains democrat votes. Cory Gardner was at the KAG rally with Trump in Colorado Springs on 2/20/2020. Make America Great Again! Make Colorado Great Again!

As I have said before many times, I prefer the knife in the chest rather than the knife in the back, figuratively speaking.
