This is Zach Cregger’s approach to first drafts as a screenwriter. It’s called “elfing”. He’s right. ✍🏼

Smart analysis of the CO Dem Gov primary from @JesseAPaul.
If the Weiser camp is putting out a -6 poll, that's prob the best they've seen.
If the Bennet camp had a poll showing him dominating, they'd release it.
Bennet likely has a high single digit lead, I'd surmise.
This poll tracks with my understanding of the Democratic gubernatorial primary in Colorado, but there are things about this poll and pollster that give me pause.
#1, if this is truly the top lines and they didn't ask for party registration, then wtf.

NEW: Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) says she doesn't think her rift with President Trump will last and she wasn't bothered by him calling her dumb.
I asked Boebert why she and other Rs tolerate Trump's abuse.
"I don't see it as abuse, I think it's part of the DC nature," she said.
