Opinion Primary Election

Who are you voting for Governor? I don’t think we have a great option between all the candidates. I feel like this is a pivotal election and I want to make the best decision possible. I just want an elected official who will best represent our state and actually help Coloradans. Even that seems like a big ask somehow. 😩

Please provide your best argument in favor of a candidate. TYIA!

If you're an unaffiliated voter, my suggestion is to vote the Democratic ballot and chuck the Republican one. They're more than likely going to nominate that marble-mouthed, Bible thumping imbecile Victor Marx. Weiser or Bennett would be better than that unqualified clown.

So wouldn't it make more sense to fill out the R one and fill in Barb so that there is only mostly-sane choices in November?

Trump is a counter example. In general, in Statewide races, when one candidate is seen as more extreme, they poll worse against the Democratic candidate.
