U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff who is backed by various progressive and climate groups, claimed a grassroots victory over former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and "the political establishment" late Saturday following the state's Democratic caucuses.

This is HUGE upset of the party favorite John Hickenlooper by far leftist Green New Dealer Andrew Romanoff.

Maybe not surprising since Comrade Sanders also won the state-wide presidential primary election for the Democrats; still, this is a major upset of the party favorite, and it basically indicates that the far leftists and bernie bots flooded the Democrat caucuses.

Now the Dems will have to have a state-wide primary runoff election between these two, and we can only hope and pray that Romanoff wins, because he's an anti-fracking, anti-drilling, anti-energy extremist in a state that gets massive amounts of revenue and taxes from energy production, as well as provides hundreds of thousands of jobs, so incumbent Republican Senator Cory Gardner would have a MUCH better chance of re-election against the avowed extremist ...

Hickenlooper sucks. This guy sounds worse.

[Jess Kitting]

That might be a blessing in disguise for our side.

Seems like a "winning" strategy for the Left: choose an extremist in the primaries and lose in the generals.

What’s the betting pool on the number of thumb-drives they’ll find this week? I say 44.

[Beagle8U]

Poor lil chickenpooper, he fell go boom.

The DNC marching drill. Left, left, left left left.

Geez. Romanoff has been the Harold Stassen of Colorado politics. Too funny.

“This is HUGE upset of the party favorite John Hickenlooper by far leftist Green New Dealer Andrew Romanoff.”

There will still be a primary and Hickenlooper will still win.

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.

I would love to see Chickenpooper replaced on the ticket with a Socialist. Gardner would have a much easier chance of holding the seat if he can just find the nerve to go on the attack.

However, don’t be surprised to see the Dems trot out a bunch of questionable ballot boxes to steal the nomination. They’re Democrats. Cheating is in their DNA.

[broken_clock]

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

Colorado has been going nutty leftist since the sixties.

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.

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.

Well, it would appear the democratic chickens HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST..! :)

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!

If this is True GOP is at +2 in the Senate at this point.

[HamiltonJay]

Oh if this just forced a runoff election and doesn’t determine the candidate then hinterloper will be the nominee
