"I will stand up to Trump". He hasn't done anything remotely close.

Additionally, when the last round of gerrymandering happened years ago, they redrew Coffman's district incorrectly. There were a lot of dems in the district and it's only grown in population and diversity. Coffman lost because he sucks, not because he distanced himself from Trump - because he didn't.

but apparently not enough for Romanoff or Caroll. Look at the margin of victories before Elbert County and other red districts were cut out. It took a Blue Wave in Colorado to finally put Crow in.

And yes, Coffman was regarded as a Trump enabler. That's why he lost. Drumpf doesn't know shit.

I was sure we’d get that asshole for a Senator in 2010, I worked like a dog for Bennet and donated more $ than I could afford.. dodged that one but he’s still in the House. A total waste of air..

... of the Coffman clan running for an office in CO this time around? I'm not a fan of political dynasties, wherever they pop up.

Forgive my befuddled brain here, but I could have sworn I'd seen the name being bandied around lately.
