Is CO a Democratic state?

Is CO a Democratic state? It trended strong Democratic in 2008, trended slight GOP in 2012. Looks like Trump might not win in 2016 against a weak candidate Hillary. With the demographics shifting because of migrations from California and high COL east coast, it makes it difficult for it to trend GOP.

When a Republican president wins without Colorado, it's considered a Democratic state.

No, it's leaning Dem. But winnable for the GOP under favorable circumstances. Just like NC for Dems.

Explain how a GOP president can win Colorado if its one of the top states with the most educational people that hold Bachelors degrees. Will the GOP have to radically change it's principles to an intellectual party to get their votes? That means, they'll have to change their positions and stop attracting social conservative religious people.

Here's a fact, the last time Colorado has voted more than 2 times in a row for President for the same party on the D side was the election of 1908, 1912 and 1916. William Bryan Jennings, and Woodrow Wilson twice.

Colorado voted for Reagan in 1980, 1984 and Bush I in 1988.
