Remember, Colorado, this isn't a blue wave. [View all]

The front page of yesterday's Denver Post claimed that this isn't a blue wave. This, just days after they bemoaned the loss of two Republican incumbent sheriffs in the metro area. (First-term sheriffs in Adams and Arapahoe counties.) Neither sheriff had any scandals, but they lost. Also in Adams county, the Republican incumbent county clerk lost. He actually did a good job in Adams county but you really can't trust Republicans in these types of positions. To think, after 2016 I was worried that Adams county had turned red. It's still a well-known Democratic county. Lets not forget Mike Coffman who we've been trying to get rid of for years.

All statewide elected positions went to Democrats. The Democrats re-took the state senate and another thread in DU talks about how the Secretary of State went to the Dems for the first time since 1963!

Yes, the midday clear sky isn't blue either. WTF, Denver Post? Oh, maybe they're seeing red--you know, like their dear leader donald trump. He's seeing red after this blue wave too.
