Yep, Colorado has gone blue for a long time now, last republican senator in CO win their election in 2012,

Whoever decided to draw these lines where they did, did it to make the conservatives look like they are represented more than they actually are

It's a gerrymandered map.

Ironically, that's the most American thing they could have possibly done.

Colorado isn’t even lean anymore, it’s solid.

Boebert almost lost in what was supposed to be an R+7 district, lol.

Oh, and the gdp numbers are bullshit too.

California and Washington alone account for more than 4.3 trillion GDP.

New England gdp is a trillion dollars lower than it should be.

the whole discussion is dumb as bricks and this map is even dumber.

Stop giving her attention.

Percent wise, Democrats won Colorado (14%) by more than Texas (5.5%) and Florida (3.3%) combined. Somebody either wanted to draw a map to make Republicans look popular or hasn’t paid attention to results (or more realistically watches a certain news source that hasn’t paid attention to) results in the past decade

Financial success and shamelessness ≠ intelligence

Exhibit A: Donald Trump

Everyone knows he's an absolute moron, but he is successful by some metrics.
