Primary for Governor and State Treasurer - Who are you voting for and why?

[DOC]

The left will pull the race card for Stapletons ancestors. KKK, Racist, Hate Monger etc. For the average person who believes twitter is real news, they will vote Polis.

So what you are saying is... he's actually a closet Democrat? The KKK, Racism and being generally hateful is their bread and butter.

He's white and has an (R) after his name, even if like me his ancestors were active abolitionists the media is going to call him KKK, racist, Hate Monger etc. and a non white Republican will be called an uncle tom (or whatever the equivalent is for their race) so I don't see how it matters who we put up regarding that leftist tactic (which is not working all that well for them anymore).

The way this state has moved to the left I fully expect Polis to get the office. He is the poster boy for Colorado dems and unfortunately I feel too many residents of this once great state will vote him in.

This is my thinking. I don't think Colorado will ever have another Republican governor nor will Republicans ever gain in the legislature. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I doubt I am.

Truth is, every day I sit here unemployed I think I should just put my house up for sale and move back to America while I can still get a stupid amount of money for this place.

But hey, I'm by nature a pessimist so maybe it truly always is darkest just before the dawn and CO will turn around before it flies off the CA cliff.

Come with me to Oklahoma, Zund. Depending on what you owe vs how high you sell, it's possible you could buy a property in the Tulsa area outright, or with a mortgage so small it would make your head spin.

I was hearing the same talk in Sept-Oct 2016.

What's stopping you from moving?

[CS1983]

Me? Nothing really. I'm 3 classes from Bachelors. Beginning ramp up to job search. Just signed a listing agreement with a realtor this morning. We're out as soon as I can jump. I'm just hoping it's after archery season. lol.

[Irving]

No Zund.

What's stopping you from moving?

A handful of things. For one thing I'm currently unemployed (but I guess that actually makes it easier as I could expand my job search to other areas).
I actually love everything about living in Colorado except for the politics. Being originally from Kansas I really don't want to return to the heat and humidity, I love the mountains and I love the cool, dry weather. So it'll have to get a little (but only a little) worse for me to actually leave (I can understand all those California Republicans that still allow themselves to suffer under much more oppressive Democrat rule).

I keep holding out hope that things will get better here even though I don't really believe they will. But I'll feel stupid if I move away from Colorado just months before a Republican Governor gets voted in or something like that

When we left Kansas, Kathleen Sibelius had just won election for Governess, they didn't have legal concealed carry and IIRC suppressors were illegal. Now they've got one of the most conservative Republican governments in the country, Constitutional Carry and Suppressors are legal ... so change is possible (but then again Kansas doesn't have legal weed attracting Democrats from all over the country).
