Denver Post Editorial: Our endorsement of Cory Gardner was a mistake

We endorsed Sen. Cory Gardner in 2014 because we believed he’d be a statesman. We knew he’d be a conservative voice in Congress, to be certain, but we thought his voice would bring “fresh leadership, energy and ideas.”

We see now that was a mistake – consider this our resolution of disapproval.

Gardner has been too busy walking a political tight rope to be a leader. He has become precisely what we said in our endorsement he would not be: “a political time-server interested only in professional security.”

Gardner was not among the 12 Republicans who joined Democrats in rejecting President Donald Trump’s use of a national emergency declaration to allocate funds to a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Don't believe what they say, they are all liars who are only out for profit and power - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

On a different note - wonder how Tillis is spinning his torpedoing of the constitution after that strong letter he wrote previously? What a chickenshit he is, one little threat from drumpf and he folds like a cheap suit.
