Coffman works overtime to make the case that he’s more similar to Trump than most people realize
“Congressman Coffman knows that his political fortunes are sinking and it’s causing him and his campaign to lie on TV and insult the media on Twitter,” said DCCC Spokesman Tyler Law. “If this type of petulant behavior sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve seen it time and again from Donald Trump. Unfortunately, it’s become clear that Coffman and Trump’s loose relationship with the truth extends a lot further than their bigoted birther conspiracies.”

Having supported every tax & spending increase ever, Morgan isn't a big spender either. Why no one takes fact checks seriously. #COpolitics

MIKE COFFMAN’S CAMPAIGN IS BEING VERY MATURE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY.
No wonder 9news is one of the few debates Morgan Carroll accepted. #COpolitics

WOW…9NEWS IS CONSPIRING WITH MORGAN CARROLL TO RIG DEBATES. THIS DOESN’T REMIND US OF TRUMP AT ALL.
