GOP disappointment in Colorado as DA passes up Senate race

By Ben Kamisar

 

Colorado District Attorney George Brauchler (R) will not run for Senate, according to multiple media reports, dealing a blow to the GOP's efforts to mount a serious challenge against incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.

Brauchler, the prosecutor in the recent Aurora theater shooting case, confirmed the decision in a statement released to Colorado area news outlets on Wednesday.

 

"Over the past few weeks since I have been out of the courtroom, I have given a great deal of consideration to what my future service would be. I spent time talking with family, friends, and neighbors about the possibility of taking on a new challenge," he said in the statement, according to CBS 4 in Denver.

"Throughout my discussions and deliberation, I have made it clear that a top consideration for me would be how any decision would impact my family, my wife and our four wonderful kids ... now is not the right time for me and my family for me to make a run for the United States Senate.”

He added that he'll run for one more term as district attorney. 

Republicans had hoped Brauchler would run to challenge Bennet in one of the party's only chances to pick off an incumbent Democrat. The 2016 Senate map favors Democrats, who have many more opportunities to defeat an incumbent Republican than vice versa. The Democrats only need a net gain of five seats to regain control of the Senate.

Hillary’s IT Staffer Pleads The Fifth For Fear Of ‘Anti-Clinton Frenzy’

Hillary Clinton’s personal IT worker invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a closed-door interview with the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Thursday because he’s concerned about getting ensnared in an “anti-Clinton frenzy.”

Bryan Pagliano’s decision to plead the fifth came as no surprise. His attorney informed the Benghazi Committee last week that his client would not testify about his work on Clinton’s private email server.

Maryland U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the Benghazi Committee, confirmed Pagliano’s decision to plead the fifth, saying that the IT worker “knows nothing about Benghazi.”

GOOD NEWS! Popular Tea Party Leader Becky Gerritson Announces Run for Congress

Jim Hoft Oct 1st, 2015 10:55 am 11 Comments

Becky Gerritson from the Wetumpka Tea Party delivered a powerful and emotional testimony at the House Ways and Means committee hearing on IRS abuse inn June 2013.

Gerritson began crying at one point while describing how she was abused by her government.

Gerritson also told Congress that the IRS letter sent to her group was signed by Lois Lerner.

This will break your heart.

Gerritson did not let the criminal activity by the Obama administration shut her down. She continues to lead conservative efforts in Alabama.

Today Becky Gerritson announced she is running for Congress.
She will challenge incumbant RINO Martha Roby for the right to represent Alabama’s Second Congressional District.

Wetumpka Tea Party President Becky Gerritson announced Thursday that she is mounting a challenge to incumbent Republican Martha Roby for the right to represent Alabama’s Second Congressional District in Washington. Gerritson, a conservative hero who garnered national attention with her bold testimony on the abuses of the IRS, has now set the stage for a campaign that will embody the Conservative Grassroots vs. DC Establishment battle being played out across the country.

“Since Day 1, Martha Roby has aligned herself with Establishment insiders and failed politicians,” said Gerritson. “We have waited for six years for her to vote and lead on the conservative principles she campaigned on, but we have yet to see her muster the courage to stand strong on the issues we care about.”

While Gerritson has been on the front lines of the conservative movement- battling the IRS and the Obama Administration, Roby has been one of the nation’s most liberal Republicans. A staunch Boehner ally, Roby has been the recipient of failing ratings from Heritage Action, Club for Growth, FreedomWorks, and others.

“I am unafraid to challenge the Establishment of both parties, and I am ready to be the voice for life, liberty, and the Constitution of the United States that our district has sorely lacked,” added Gerritson. “The nation I grew up in, that our Founders envisioned, and that people crossed oceans for, can still be realized again. But first, we must get rid of the DC insiders who have failed us.”

Recognized around the country as one of the leading conservative voices for freedom, Gerritson is focused on working with the grassroots to reach voters across the Second Congressional District.

“I have no doubt that the Establishment will work hard to protect one of their own,” said Gerritson. “But nothing is more powerful than concerned citizens willing to fight for their liberty. This district is not for sale, and the people will be heard on March 1st. I have faith in the grassroots, and I look forward to campaigning hard across the district.”

Gerritson and her husband Eric reside in Wetumpka, AL.

Rand Paul takes in $2.5 million in third-quarter fundraising

By Jonathan Swan

Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul has had a tough fundraising quarter, taking in $2.5 million over the last three months, according to an aide.

 

But the Paul campaign insists its financials are healthy and on an upward trajectory and that the Kentucky senator is "in it for the long haul."

 

ADVERTISEMENT

In the previous quarter, the Paul campaign raised $6.9 million, but communications director Sergio Gor said the drop-off did not reflect the fact that donations have started to pick up in the weeks since the last GOP debate. Since then, the campaign raised $750,000, he said, and had brought in a half-million dollars in the last week.

 

The Paul campaign is the third presidential team to release its third-quarter fundraising figures. He lags well behind the other candidates who have released their totals.

 

Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) raised $26 million for the quarter, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought in $28 million. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who is running for the Republican nomination, raised more than $20 million, mostly in small donations, his campaigns said.

 

Whether Paul's campaign is bringing in enough money to stay the distance is an open question, but Gor is adamant that his candidate would not go the way of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who dropped out of the race last month.

 

"We're doing everything that we need to be doing," Gor said on Thursday. 

 

"Senator Paul has said he's in this for the long haul. He didn't go to Alaska, Wyoming, and you know these places just for giggles."

 

Paul, who was an early favorite for the GOP nomination, has slipped into low single digits in recent polls, and rumors have been circulating that he planned to exit the race and focus on competing to keep his Senate seat. 

 

But Gor pushed back against those claims, and downplayed the significance of critical remarks made by campaign surrogate Ed Crane, who reportedly said he was no longer bothering to raise money for a pro-Paul super-PAC because he thought the candidate had abandoned his libertarian principles.

 

The Paul campaign has about $2 million cash on hand, according to Gor. Given that the campaign finished the previous quarter with $4.1 million cash on hand, that suggests the campaign spent more than it took in these past three months. Having spent $4.6 million and taken in $2.5 million, the Paul campaign spent at almost double the rate it earned these past three months.

 

Gor acknowledged this but said "the campaign overall has spent less than it has taken in over the course of the campaign, and because we had significant one time costs that are behind us, we are bringing in enough revenue to cover our campaign's ongoing costs indefinitely."

 

By comparison, Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin tweeted on Thursday that the campaign has about $32 million cash on hand, meaning it is spending at an aggressive rate of nearly 90 percent but is still in a relatively solid position.

 

Other presidential candidates have not yet released their third-quarter numbers.

Trump says people would “OD on Trump” if he ran ads

By Bradford Richardson

Donald Trump says he has spent no money on advertising his presidential campaign because he fears people would “OD on Trump.”

ADVERTISEMENT

“What happens is I’m not spending that much money,” Trump said on the show “New Hampshire Today,” as first reported by Buzzfeed News. “I thought I would’ve spent about 20 million dollars for advertising, you know, up until this point, right? I’ve spent nothing. I can’t advertise because I’m getting so much coverage. It would almost be: you’d OD on Trump. You understand. That’s overdose on Trump.”

The GOP primary front-runner pointed to an article in People magazine as an example of the abundant media coverage that he has enjoyed.

“Like, People magazine has a beautiful article today,” Trump said. “You know, it’s a cover story and so I have so much stuff – if I ever did that: Let’s say you have a show on television, the whole thing’s Trump and then on top of it you have the commercials Trump too. People would get sick.”

“They’d say, ‘It’s too much. I can’t take it anymore,’” he added.

The real-estate mogul said he would be willing to dip into his wallet if necessary.

“I have unlimited to spend as I need it,” Trump said. “And I will spend as I need it. Assuming I continue to do well, Jack. You know, maybe it’s possible at some point I won’t do so well and, you know, you see, you know, a lot of these candidates, you have to see the handwriting on the wall at some point.”

Several Republican primary candidates have expressed dismay about Trump’s extensive media coverage.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blamed the press for propping up Trump’s campaign, saying he receives “about a billion dollars’ worth” of coverage.
