For weeks now, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and his dark money machine have bombarded the airwaves in an effort to save John Hickenlooper from losing to Andrew Romanoff in the Democrat Senate primary.
But now Schumer’s Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is refocusing its efforts on states that can win back control from Republicans, and that does not include Colorado.
Democrats need to gain four seats to take control, and Hickenlooper winning in Colorado was always been a part of their master plan.
But with all of Hickenlooper’s recent troubles, the DSCC instead focused on South Carolina, Maine, Kentucky, and Arizona in a recent fundraising plea.
This is bad news for Hickenlooper because without the backing of the D.C. establishment he has absolutely no support.
Now we wait and see what happens in tomorrow’s primary, and whether the millions spent on Hickenlooper’s behalf can save him from an embarrassing defeat.
