> [@Johnny\_Bravo](#): > > But Colorado isn’t reliably blue or red in presidential elections - it’s voted for the winner of the presidency in 12 of the last 15 elections. This represents a significant burden on the Republican party if it nominates Trump. > > Admittedly, it’s been trending more strongly blue in the last decade or so. So maybe it is considered safe now? I honestly don’t know. Speaking as a (for the moment) proud Colorado Resident, it’s, like a lot of things, a split state. The urban areas (with a few exceptions like Colorado Springs) are pretty blue, with a few areas (like Boulder) being a searing blue. But the rural eastern and western regions are ruby red. Still… the population overall is probably closer to a very blueish purple. And the urban Republicans (NOT the rural ones) tend to be closer to the pre-MAGA republicans, deeply conservative, but still holding to a more traditional “keep it to yourself” POV, such as the substantial support for the local LGBTQ community after the mass shooting here in Colorado Springs. Flip side though, is that many of the Liberal/Democrat supporters tend to the more conservative side of that spectrum. One of the reasons that, with caveats, Biden is popular in the state compared to some more liberal options, lots of (D) pushing for moderate and measured improvements rather than radical changes. Just IMHO and based on my personal experiences in different parts of the state. ---

> [@Raza](#): > > Could Colorado run their VP nominee as the President for that one state, I wonder. With a view to taking the state away from Biden, even though it wouldn’t count for Trump if their VP won? I don’t see why not, but it’s suboptimal from their perspective. ---

> And I’ve never read ‘Mein Kampf.’ They said, ‘Oh Hitler said that.’ In a much different way." This appeared on MSN as written by Yahoo News. I am blanking on how to post the original headline. Anyway, I don’t think him not reading it is either surprising or not disturbing. I doubt he’s read the first few Dick and Jane primers. Permit me hyperbole, I hate this guy. Anyway, if he came up with this crap himself (just 'cause _he_ didn’t read it doesn’t mean someone he knows/listens to didn’t) it is chilling how close he came to quoting hitler all by his lonesome. trump evil slime. ---
