Why is Colorado suddenly so Republican?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It hasn't moved right in presidential years. While in last year's midterms, Udall underperformed, Hickenlooper bucked the republican the state, and put him in contention for the VP slot.

If one of these VP candidates are strong enough like an Hickenlooper or a Julian Castro, they can certainly perform better among Latinos and college kids, who didn't vote last time, to vote for the Democratic nominee.

Because with the young latino vote, NV,CO  and PA and NH corridor is becoming more important than the OH river valley, and Bennett is looking much better than Udall did in 2014.

2000 proved that young latinos have moved to the left of their parents generation.  When Gore litereally tied Dubya Bush, with Joseph Lieberman on the ballot, in FL,  and could of won with Bob Graham. Young Latinos are now beginning to vote Democratic and beginning to outnumber their parents. And out of the VP picks of Hickenlooper and Vilsack and Kaine, he is the only one under 60.

And with Julian Castro, he can lock down FL/PA and NV/CO senate races that will determine control of the United States Senate.

I like Julian Castro, and Murphy can benefit from his coattails as well, which he desperately needs in this more conservative state than PA or NV.

Hillary camp has already vetted him, out of all the VP picks.
