For the Christian conservative pundits who seem to not know the story of Victor Marx I would suggest you watch this podcast he did with Taylor Welch. It is very well done. https://t.co/X572Gbtpqi
I believe @victormarx can win the Governor’s race. He has relied on grassroots campaigning and God and he has stood against the media trying to define him as a crazy man because he is honest about his past. Let the mockers and scoffers do their thing.
It’s early still, but I think it is safe to safe that Scott Bottoms is living up to his name and will take the bottom spot in the 3 way race to be the Republican nominee for Colorado Governor. Marx currently in 2nd, ~9k votes behind Kirkmeyer.
These maps are interesting to me … Kirkmeyer is winning the GOP primary in the countries Weiser won the Democratic primary and Marx is winning the GOP primary in the counties Bennet won the Democratic primary.
We have had FOUR STRAIGHT Boomer presidents. Since 1992. Congressional leadership too.
A lot of what we’re seeing is pent up frustration that Boomer electeds (both parties) hang onto power way past the normal age of retirement, blocking others in the process.

There’s a common thread that most of the pundits seem to be missing. DeGette has been in Congress for nearly 30 years. Kirkmeyer has been in state and local government for 40 years. People are tired of living the experience of the experienced. People want new blood.
Crazy not just on the Dem side last night.
Love how the experienced state senator running for CO-GOV leading by just 600 votes against the candidate who "claims that when he was a child, his stepfather forced him to kill a man."
Online algorithms driving the extremes.
🚨BREAKING: In Everett, MA, an ICE agent appears to drop their firearm, while multiple agents are on top of a man…then another agent falsely claims the man was grabbing the gun.
In the video, as the gun falls to the ground, and is tossed away from the pile of agents, another agent can be heard yelling, “He grabbed your gun. He grabbed your gun.”
Except… the video appears to show the exact opposite.
The firearm wasn’t in the man’s hands. It had already been thrown away from the struggle.
This is exactly why poorly trained agents are so dangerous.
The second someone yells, “He’s got the gun,” every officer on the scene has to make a split-second decision, based on that information.
If that information is wrong, you’ve just created a situation where someone could be shot because another agent panicked, or falsely identified what happened.
We’ve seen this before with Alex Pretti.
Federal agents carrying firearms should be trained well enough not to lose control of their weapon… and certainly not to falsely claim the person they’re arresting has it.
We’ve now seen multiple videos of agents dropping magazines, firearms, and handling their weapons in ways that raise serious safety concerns.
Every time DHS puts poorly trained agents on the street, with the unlimited power to detain people and carry loaded firearms, they are putting the public, bystanders, and even their own agents at risk.
And until there is real accountability for reckless conduct, and inadequate training, these dangerous incidents will keep happening.
The public shouldn’t have to wonder whether the biggest threat during an arrest is the person being detained… or the agent carrying the gun.
The obvious solution is that if an illegal alien has kids in the U.S., you deport the parents and raise the kids in some sort of ultra-patriotic super-soldier program.
