In 2010 the Dem party closed ranks behind Bennett because Romanoff wouldn't play ball with the oil and gas lobby. They got Obama to endorse Bennett in the primary.

Then in 2016, the year of Trump, Romanoff took on Mike Coffman in a thankless race and losing year for Dems, for a seat that Jason Crow is going to have a hell of a time hanging on to because it was Red for years before 2018.

These are the only two races Romanoff has "lost" and in both cases the Dem party was working against him. I'm a Democrat, but the CO party bosses piss me off royally.

Romanoff can beat Gardner. I'm not sure Hick can.
