1. A bootlicking coward. Colorado Democrats were scammed good

[popsdenver]

15. Not me

for the last eight years I have been screaming about the fact that he was a Corporation Loving, DINO...........
Once he became a lame duck and didn't need to worry about conning the Dems any longer for their votes, he started doing anything/everything in favor of the Republicans and Corporations that he wanted to do.....without opposition from the other DEM politicians, because he was masquerading as a Dem.......
Colorado's other Dem Politicians aren't necessarily pro republicans, they are just "DO NOTHINGS"....Hickenlooper, Bennet, DeGette, etc

Colorado, in the upcoming elections could well become AT LEAST a Purple State due to all of their action/inaction this past decade......

2. So much for his belief that she was taking responsibility for what she did

she isn't.

Did he actually believe that? If so, he may be a fool. If he knew, then he's a tool of the right wing.

Either one is not great.

[thesquanderer]

10. Yup, she's taking responsibility for what she did... proudly. (n/t)

[JBTaurus83]

3. He didn't get played

He’s one of them.

[Ritabert]

4. I expect he'll change parties soon.

[johnnyfins]

5. Yep.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Which just goes to show, no capitulated deed goes unpunished.

[Mblaze]

7. Does that mean that she is willing

To continue illegally allowing access to voting machines by unauthorized Trump-humpers?

If she has proof of malfeasance in the election of 2000 then she should bring it. There is no valid proof of a rigged election!

[Wonder Why]

8. Converted over to the Dark Side.

[GoCubsGo]

9. Played? Or, extorted/blackmailed?

I suspect it's the latter.

[Ponietz]

11. Fetterman's handler was made public recently

I wonder if Polis has one.

[not fooled]

12. The only possible defense for Polis

is that krasnnov was blackmailing his state by withholding something Colorado desperately needs. IIRC there was something to do with water—funds for a treatment plant or something like that—which krasnov was withholding because peters (who is a longtime fraudster and thoroughly despicable human being) was still locked up.

I’m not defending Polis and unsure whether in fact there was a better reason behind his doing what krasnov wants but if something like this is behind his actions at least it’s more understandable. 🤷‍♀️

[lame54]

14. Then he should have made that public...

Other states are getting squeezed but not rolling over

[not fooled]

16. Yeah. Cutting secret deals with krasnov

(if that's what happened) is not a good look.

[Celerity]

13. Polis is a typical centrist/centre right No Labels Problem Solvers Caucus type. That group is a cancer upon our party.

Congressional and national party Democratic leadership should force all Democratic (PS is bipartisan, with around half of it being Rethugs) No Labels Problem Solvers to quit that toxic group or face censure. All ex members should denounce it as well.

I have been reporting and warning about them for years here, which has hardly made me popular with some, but at the end of the day I have been proven right, unfortunately, over and over.

No Labels, Third Way, AIPAC (plus other RW billionaire funded pro RW/BiBi Israel lobby groups), pro abundance agenda/deregulatory types, and other centrist, centre right and corpo-friendly organisations are the bane of our Party's short, medium, and long term electoral chances and outcomes.

Look at what they (never forget Sinema was a Problem Solver whilst in the US House and Manchin was their massive Senate ally/coordinator) did to Biden in his first 2 years, when we had control of both chambers of Congress and the POTUS. A pox on them all.
