Listen "Nov. 7, 2024: Colorado's contrast to national political picture; Measuring Denver's ballot measures"
Episode Synopsis
Colorado's election results are in sharp contrast to the national picture. What's behind the state's move from purple to a very solid blue? And how does the Colorado Republican party differ from the national one? We speak with Seth Masket, a professor and blogger who's been following the GOP over the past four years for an upcoming book. Then, he's influenced JD Vance; now Patrick Deneen, author of "Why Liberalism Failed," is CU's visiting conservative scholar. And, while all eyes have been on the presidential election, Denver had a lot of local issues to consider, from slaughterhouses to school funding. Denverite's Kyle Harris joins us.
