It's time to Get More Smarter. We talk about Gov Hickenlooper's presidential chances, who's running for the Dem CO Senate nomination, and do our best to follow the corporate money into Cory's campaign bank account.
In "Finding Cory," we try and figure out why Cory ghosted VP Pence for his own fundraiser in Windsor to vote for giving the Saudi's more guns and sell our public lands to oil and mining companies.
We give credit to the hero of the Mueller congressional hearings, Greeley Representative Ken Buck. Rep. Buck, also the CO GOP chair, more or less made it clear that you could arrest Trump for crimes he committed before and after his election when he leaves office.
Finally, we "prognosticate" about a radical abortion ban that anti-abortion extremists want to put on the 2020 ballot and how Colorado is a safe haven for women from other states seeking reproductive care.
