1. Do we like him?

2. I Think So

I like Ed Perlmutter too - not big on Ken Salazar though but he is popular

3. What frightens me is who will the republican be

Cory Gardner? Prepping for his eventual presidential run. Will we see Ken Buck again? He's got a friend in Trump, I'm sure so he'll probably resurface to try again. Maybe that dope Daryl Glenn from Colorado Springs who hates Obama but was perfectly fine bootlegging Obama's famous "there is no white america or black america or latino america, we're the united states of america". Those republicans like plagiarizing other people's words.

I hope my state stays smart and won't elect a republican governor. Not with a Trump in the oval office

4. I'm Not Too Worried - Marijuana

I think the kids will stop to any republican from taking over and possibly interfering with marijuana.

5. Yes - they would be a help

But it is a midterm and dems and youth are notorious for not voting in them. Not to mention there would need to be reminders in campaign ads that that could go away with a republican, even if that republican bald face lies and says it will not.

Additionally, this will be the first open primary so I hope it helps and doesn't cause any problems because having any republican gov in this state with a Trump presidency will be worse than any other time we've had one.
