Colorado followed New York's example and surprised a couple of incumbents...

[kentuck]

It appears that Hickenlooper, running for the Senate, is the only survivor amongst them. Also, it appears that Michael Bennett and Diana DeGette may lose their elections?

There is a pattern developing here. The Democratic Party is looking for change. Either the present establishment of the Party has not done enough or the people have decided they were not satisfied with the Party and have challenged the incumbents at the people level?

These are tough times. It takes tough men and women to fight the battle that must be fought. It does not announce its arrival, it comes when it is ready.

The question that follows is: Are the Republicans satisfied? It may take a little longer to de-program the cult feature of their Party?

The political season has begun.

The times, they are a-changin'...

1. Michael Bennett is not the incumbent

That's Jared Polis, who is term-limited and can't run again.

Bennett is a sitting US senator. He started out as the favorite because of name recognition, but that faded away.

DeGette is the incumbent US representative. She is losing the primary, and that's a tragedy, not something to celebrate.

5. Kiros winning is great news for the Democratic Party and sends a great message.

6. It's great news indeed David... goes to show Bernie's been right all along about the Democratic Party's winning agenda!

10. As one of DeGette's constituents...

Very glad to see her lose. Denver deserves better than a career back bencher who has done nothing but milk the rich Colorado establishment for money to give to the Party to be spent out of state.

4. I'm just going to stay off for the night.

7. I was just reporting it as I saw it...

I was not intentionally taking the side of the incumbent Senators or Representatives in their races. Bennett left the Senate to run for the Governorship, that is true.

Actually, I voted for a couple of them. But my vote was not enough to keep them in office.

Fortunately or unfortunately, according to your perspective, I suppose?

8. Bennet's senate term isn't up until 2028.

11. The future belongs

to the bold and fearless.

It belongs to the truth tellers.

It doesn't belong to quislings who whimper in fear about what repugs do, think, or say.
