By the time this column runs, days will have passed and gallons of ink spilled on the reasons behind former President Donald Trump’s comeback, what Vice President Kamala Harris could have done differently, the pathetic performance of polling companies, the nation’s shift to the right, and the public policy implications of Republican dominance over all three branches of the federal government. We will avoid retreading here to focus on how Colorado trends both diverged and paralleled national developments. As I write, Republicans have won the White House and the Senate, and are poised to maintain control of the House.
