Republicans in the state are hoping the ex-president will make a swing through in a show of support.

Top officials with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the Colorado Republican Party spoke on Thursday to discuss plans of action after the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to throw the former president off of the Republican primary ballot.

The call, which involved Clayton Henson, a former White House aide who has been a liaison between the Trump campaign and state parties, was confirmed by Dave Williams, the chair of the Colorado GOP.

Williams said that the Colorado GOP will appeal the Colorado court’s decision — holding that Trump was invalidated from appearing on the ballot because he’d incited an insurrection on Jan. 6 — to the Supreme Court. Depending on how the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, he said, the party would ask the Republican National Committee for a waiver to hold a caucus instead of a primary election.

    His campaign manager would be an idiot to have him swing through it serves no purpose and wastes money.

    Whereas if he hold off until he’s back on the ballot he is now the conquering hero.

      You’re probably right, but Republicans realizing that would require them to have a brain and not simply sychophantic fervor.
