The Colorado Model
Did you hear the one about the three millionaires who flipped Colorado from a red state to a blue state? Check out Independent Thinking this week as co-authors Adam Schrager and Rob Whitwer sit down with me to talk about their new book, The Blueprint: How the Democrats Won Colorado (and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care). That’s this Friday, April 30 at 8:30 P.M. on KBDI Channel 12. Rebroadcast the following Monday at 1:00pm.
“My only disappointment with the book was the title. I really wish it had been titled “The Blueprint: How the Left Won Colorado (and Why Conservatives Everywhere Should Care),” because I think that is a more precise description of what happened. The Democrat Party didn… See More’t win Colorado: the progressive left did. They simply used the Democrat Party as a vehicle by which to achieve their political ends. The reason conservatives should care is two-fold: they aren’t facing the Democrat Party of old. They are facing a very aggressive and well-organized Left that is intent on implementing statism in this country, starting from the state and local level and building to the federal. But the other reason is that conservatives can do, and should do, exactly what the Left did in Colorado: create privatized political infrastructure, and then use the party, or parties, as the vehicles to achieve their political ends. ” — Ned Ryun
