In this episode we discuss the election results in Colorado and give our thoughts on politics in our home state.
Segment #1 – Turnout in Colorado
What did turnout look like in Colorado? Was it substantially different from 2012? Why didn’t Colorado “ride the Trump wave”?Segment #2 – State of the Political Parties in Colorado
What is the current state of the Republican Party in Colorado? What is the current state of the Democratic Party in Colorado? How does the rise of Unaffiliated voters impact our politics?Segment #3 Unaffiliated Voters
How did they view this election, generally? What issues, if any, were important to them? From the turnout we can tell that they supported Hillary Clinton more than Donald Trump…Why might that be the case?
