Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 07:28:27 GMT

It must be thrown out if conservatives ever want to be successful in this state again.Overall the Western Conservative Summit featured quality speakers including two 2024 presidential hopefuls, representatives from noteworthy national conservative organizations, and three of Colorado’s representatives in Congress. Had I been there, I would have enjoyed hearing Seth D...
