Colorado GOP in turmoil following Donald Trump’s comments on women

WASHINGTON — Days after three top Colorado Republicans disavowed Donald Trump, one of them wavered Monday while another GOP official stood by the nominee, as pressure mounted for party leaders to hold ranks.


U.S. Senate candidate Darryl Glenn said Monday he was reconsidering his decision to withdraw support for Trump, while U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, said he would continue to support the nominee despite reservations.

But the fact that key Republicans still were choosing sides a month before Election Day reaffirmed the divisiveness and the political peril that Trump has brought to the party in this election.

U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman and Glenn said this past weekend that they no longer could support Trump after the release of a 2005 video that showed Trump making lewd comments about women.
