Colorado's GOP must embrace unaffiliated voters | COLORADO POLITICS OPINION
The Republican and Democrat parties are teeing up exactly what Americans and Coloradans don't want in 2024 — a rematch of the 2020 presidential election. Among Republicans, Donald Trump maintains a major lead against his nearest rival by nearly 40 points. Among Democrats, President Biden maintains a nearly 50-point lead over his nearest rival. Yet, two-thirds of American voters don't want either of these candidates on the 2024 ballot.
Today, more Americans are leaving the Republican and Democrat parties and identifying as unaffiliated voters. In Colorado, unaffiliated voters are the largest voting block at 47%, followed by Democrats at 27%, and Republicans at 24%. And the trend is increasingly toward unaffiliated voter registration across most of the United States. Meantime, our two shrinking political parties are poised to offer a choice between two 80-year-old men of mediocre character and corrupted sensibilities to lead America and the free world.
And the Colorado GOP Central Committee is onboard, full steam ahead.
