Michael Bennett for Governor? A Disaster Waiting to Happen, Colorado!

Well, folks, strap in and keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times because the rumor mill is churning, and it’s vomiting out a real doozy. According to reports, Colorado’s U.S. Senator Michael Bennett is “strongly considering” a run for governor in 2026. Yes, the same Michael Bennett who’s spent years cozying up to Washington’s elite is now eyeing the Colorado Governor's mansion. For conservatives in Douglas County and across this great state, that’s not just bad news; it’s a five-alarm fire of progressive nonsense threatening to engulf us all, but there is not much left to burn after Pollsmoker’s 8 years of scorched earth policy against the good people of Colorado.

Let’s start with the most obvious: Bennett’s a career politician who’s been soaking the D.C. swamp stink since 2009. This guy’s so entrenched in the liberal echo chamber that he probably thinks a “range” is something you adjust on a thermostat, not the wide-open beauty next to the Rockies. His record shrieks of big-government progressives pushing for endless spending, climate agendas that kneecap our energy industry, and healthcare schemes that sound like socialism with extra steps. Colorado’s conservatives know we don’t need a governor who’d complete the Polis California 2.0 project.

And don’t get me started on his “pragmatic” shtick. Bennett loves to play the moderate, but it’s a mask thinner than toilet paper at the Motel 6. He voted for Biden’s trillion-dollar boondoggles and backed every woke priority that came down the pike. Want proof? He’s been a cheerleader for policies that prioritize illegal aliens over hardworking Coloradans because nothing says “serving the people,” like ignoring the border crisis while our county and state burns.

Then there’s his spine or lack thereof. This is the guy who flirted with a presidential run in 2022, only to slink back to his hole when the spotlight got too hot. Now, he wants to lead Colorado? Pleazeeee. We need a governor with conservative guts (like Greg Lopez, hint hint, wink wink), not a weather vane who bends with every liberal breeze. Bennett would stroll into office with his posse of aides, ready to shove more mandates down our throats while lecturing us about “opportunity” from his ivory tower.

Colorado conservatives, from Parker to the plains, see through this farce. Bennett as governor would be a disaster, a progressive puppet dancing to the tune of coastal elites. We deserve better than a recycled trash senator who’d sell out our values faster than you can say “legalized weed.”
