My side would have kicked your ass if there had been a primary vs disenfranchising caucus. Like I said in my post, the one you didn't read, over one million people voted for Hickenlooper/Bennet - 127,000 voted in the caucus. My 90 year old aunt wasn't able to vote for Hillary - how should she have worked harder? My neighbors with two babies couldn't go, how should they have worked harder? Anyone who works at night couldn't go, how should they have worked harder?

We have a county called Weld and there's gas under that county. They vote, they write letters, e-mails, and attend EPA meetings in masses. I know - cuz I attended one in the Bush years when all the liberal types walked out they were so disgusted. Not me, I stayed and was the last person to speak.

It was so nicer when we imported oil from Saudi Arabia because and they suffered all the environmental problems. That's not the case anymore. Countries don't have to rely on SA or Russia - how terrible. Fracking is nasty, but so is coal ash in rivers, pipelines leaking. In the meantime solar and wind are creating more jobs.

Good to know Sanders supporters are just fine with a guy like Udall and a republican taking over because god forbid Udall was an incumbent. Did you help create this by not voting? Are you glad Cory Gardner is our new senator and who do you want for our next Governor?

Never mind you don't answer questions, you just "know" and spew a lot of nonsense about our elected leaders in Colorado. Rage on Bro, rage on.
