This week, Republicans are trapped between a rock and a hairpiece as the impeachment process gets formalized in the United States House of Representatives, guest Geof Cahoon plays Duke or Donald and teaches us about the Colorado labor movement, Donald Trump buys himself a friend in Colorado Senator Cory Gardner with a cool hundred-thousand dollars, which Gardner will apparently be putting into very-weird pro-oil company advertisements, the US House passes the CORE act thanks to our friend Joe Neguse, and by the time you listen to this episode, it'll be election day in Colorado, so we do some prognosticating and you'll find out how right or wrong we are.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Colorado Republican Party Chairman and Congressional Hobbyist Ken Buck tries to throw the failed recall hot potato into someone else’s lap, Cory Gardner Gets President Trump’s Back (duh), a major Colorado newspaper demands Gardner’s resignation from office, and, as usual, the Colorado GOP is in a really, really, super bad spot heading into 2020. We also play Duke or Donald with Fawn Bolak of Keep Abortion Safe and prognosticate a border wall in Colorado.

This week, Recall-A-Lago comes to a sad and anticlimactic end as Colorado Republicans attempt to distance themselves from the wreckage, Cory Gardner whiffs yet another chance to say out loud that it’s wrong to solicit foreign interference in an election (26:26), and a new poll finds him badly, badly underwater (12:40). The US Senate Democrats in a primary to take on Gardner in 2020 report their latest fundraising numbers and our friend Manny plays the worst game in Colorado, Duke or Donald (50:55).
