What happened to the Colorado Republican Party?

I enjoy reading post-mortems about the GOP.

The Jefferson County GOP began its annual assemblies in the 1990s by asking all elected Republicans in attendance to say a few words.

“It was not uncommon for it to take an hour to get through all of those speeches,” said Rob Fairbank, the former state representative from Littleton.

Now, said Rob Witwer, former attorney for the Jefferson County GOP and also a former state lawmaker, “It would take five minutes. You could fit all the elected officials in a phone booth.

“And that,” he adds, “in a nutshell is the trajectory of the party over the past 25 years.”

This is why they’re so desperately going along with even this coup thing. Rather than change their ways, this last gasp will be highly illegal and pushing the envelope of democracy. The moment they chose Trump it was effectively over. Even gerrymandering has reached its limits. They’re all aboard the Trump train and that includes whatever action plan starts around the 6th.

And if we make it through, which I think we will, we must dismantle this terrorist GOP network piece by piece.
