Dems have wasted a fortune trying to wrestle this seat from Coffman over the last decade, even mortgaging other seats to gerrymander this district specifically to get him out.  I love the fact that they've wasted so much for nothing for so long now.

Even if Coffman finally falls (and I suspect it may finally happen in 2018), it's been a losing gamble for Dems.  There's only 2 more elections left under the current Dem gerrymander.  It's all going to reshuffle again after the 2020 census, except even moreso since we're sure to pick up an 8th district, requiring a whole new map.
