This week, two polls in a row spell doom for our second favorite US Senator from Colorado, Cory Gardner, everything is totally under control with the coronavirus as cases mount well past a million, Republicans still want to kill Obamacare (even though it’s one of the few things actually helping during this pandemic), the chairman of the Colorado Republican Party commits at least one crime, a white-supremacist-terrorist-anti-virus protestor's plot to throw pipe bombs at FBI agents, and the state budget is totally f#cked ...BUT OTHER THAN THAT, EVERYTHING IS COOL.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast…the coronavirus is still a thing; election laws are merely suggestions; and Colorado Republicans are shooting first and aiming later.

Colorado had a caucus, and nobody came; House Majority Leader Alec Garnett joins us again to talk about the Colorado legislature and how his dog's name ended up in state statute; the presidential primary narrows to Bernie and Biden; the coronavirus shakes up politics; we try to figure out what in the hell is wrong with Ken Buck; and we find Cory hiding out at a bougie billionaire's champagne party.
