There’s been a lot of talk from @SenatorBennet and others about how Colorado is being “held back” by TABOR and how we supposedly need to get rid of it for the state to progress. No. We don’t need to get rid of one of the only things protecting taxpayers from endless taxation. We need people who can actually balance a budget responsibly.

I’ve gone through the budget myself on a surface-level audit and found roughly $233–315 million in ongoing General Fund savings. And I’m not even the one building the state budget. What does that tell you?

The problem isn’t TABOR. The problem is government constantly expanding programs, committees, studies, boards, grants, and organizations with little measurable return for taxpayers. We should be sunsetting programs that no longer provide value instead of automatically demanding more money every time spending gets out of control.

Getting rid of TABOR won’t fix bad budgeting. It won’t suddenly make government efficient. It just removes one of the few guardrails taxpayers have left.

When SB-135 ends up on the ballot in November, people need to actually show up and vote no. Because if you think Colorado is expensive now, imagine what happens when the state no longer has meaningful limits on how much revenue it can keep and spend.

The @victormarx campaign is probably the most psychologically effective campaign in Colorado right now.

And almost none of it is built on policy.

That’s the fascinating part.

He has managed to build a loyal political movement while:
• Avoiding most hostile media
• Avoiding detailed policy discussions
• Avoiding major forums/debates
• Avoiding direct engagement with many attacks and controversies

Normally that kills a campaign.

For Marx, it’s become the strategy.

Because this campaign is not operating on a policy wavelength. It’s operating on an emotional and psychological one.

He’s selling an archetype:
The outsider.
The rescuer.
The warrior.
The guy the system is supposedly terrified of.

That creates an incredibly strong emotional attachment with supporters because once people emotionally invest in the story, scrutiny starts looking like persecution instead of vetting.

Questions become “attacks.”
Criticism becomes “proof he’s a threat.”
Lack of policy becomes “authenticity.”
Avoiding hostile media becomes “strength.”
Avoiding debates becomes “refusing to play the establishment game.”

Psychologically?
It’s brilliant.

But let’s talk about the downside nobody wants to say out loud.

This strategy works GREAT for building a movement.

It does not automatically prove someone can govern.

Colorado is not electing a podcast guest.
It’s electing a governor.

Eventually you have to answer real questions:
• What’s your actual fiscal plan?
• What gets cut?
• What stays funded?
• How do you work with a legislature?
• What happens when emotional rhetoric collides with legal reality?
• What happens when slogans have to become executable policy?

And avoiding pressure-testing may protect a campaign, but it also prevents voters from seeing how a candidate performs under sustained scrutiny.

That matters.

Because charisma can survive ambiguity.
Governance cannot.

The real genius of the Marx campaign is that it has convinced people that emotional certainty is the same thing as executive competence.

Those are not the same thing.

A question Colorado Republicans SHOULD be asking right now:

If @victormarx wins… who is actually going to run the state?

Because that’s becoming harder and harder to answer.

His campaign has largely avoided:
• detailed policy rollouts
• difficult forums
• sustained hostile interviews
• deep budget discussions
• legislative strategy discussions
• operational governance conversations

At the same time, outside groups and political infrastructure are beginning to form around him.

That should concern voters.

Not because outside committees are illegal. They aren’t.

But because when a candidate runs almost entirely on emotion, branding and identity without building a clearly defined governing framework, power doesn’t disappear.

It gets transferred.

Someone fills the vacuum.

And voters deserve to know:
Who are the advisors?
Who are the policy people?
Who are the strategists?
Who are the donors?
Who are the operators building the machine around him?

Because governors do not govern alone.

A governor with weak policy infrastructure and vague governing positions often becomes heavily dependent on:
• consultants
• donors
• activist networks
• party operatives
• unelected advisors
• outside influence groups

That’s not conspiracy talk.
That’s how politics works.

And if the public doesn’t know who those people are BEFORE the election, they find out AFTER the election.

Colorado has already spent years watching people campaign as outsiders and govern as managed products.

Republicans should not demand transparency from Democrats while giving Republicans a free pass on the exact same issue.

If you want to lead an $40+ billion state government, voters deserve more than:
“Trust me.”

They deserve to know who’s actually holding the map once the campaign ends.

Colorado’s roads didn’t fall apart because of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. They fell apart because Democrats put transportation last for decades.

Now @MichaelBennet made it clear- he wants to gut TABOR and raise costs on Colorado Families.

Government needs to do its job: fix the roads, fund the basics, and stop blaming taxpayers for bad priorities.

Protect the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Fund our roads.

Once our ranches and farmlands are gone - there’s no way to get them back. We must protect them at all costs. 🇺🇸 🙏🏻

[Kristi Burton Brown @KBBColorado]

A few questions to throw out here…

1) Why does @victormarx’s internal poll fail to include @SenKirkmeyer’s home territory of northern Colorado?

2) Does the Marx campaign understand the meaning of a battleground county? If so, why was Pueblo excluded?

3) Why is rural CO & the Western Slope entirely excluded? Solid R counties matter in a primary just as much as “battleground” ones.

4) Why don’t they reveal the number of undecided voters? 🤨

I love this. 👇
To the person who wrote this, thank you for sharing what so many of us think of our President.♥️🇺🇸

Mr. President,
⠀
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Probably not. But I’m writing it anyway because my wife and I talk about this all the time, and somebody needs to say it out loud.
⠀
We can’t wait for the day you’re no longer President.
⠀
Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace.
⠀
You didn’t have to do any of this.
⠀
You had the money.
You had the name.
You had the life most men only dream about.
You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up.
⠀
Instead you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you everything.
⠀
They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going.
⠀
For what?
⠀
For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away.
⠀
You didn’t owe us a thing. And you gave us everything.
⠀
You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be.
⠀
And the truth nobody wants to admit?
⠀
We didn’t deserve a President like you.
⠀
A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. 🙏
⠀
So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep good. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing.
⠀
You earned every bit of it.
⠀
Thank you, Mr. President. From a truck driver in Texas who prays for you often.
⠀
God bless you. God bless your family. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸
