Given that Colorado isn't a swing state, does this actually matter in practical terms?
- It feels very much like a political show of sorts. Trump wasnt gonna get the CO vote regardless. Similar to how in kind, Texas is threatening to remove Biden from the ballot. Texas is gonna be a red vote no matter who is running until at least the boomers and gen xers die off.
  
  Right, so it's basically just theatre for the base.
  
  Exactly.
