Well, the NRSC still seems to be going all in on the CO race (judging from their Twitter account, they’re quite obsessed with this state). I still can’t fathom how one of the most important organizations in this country can be this incompetent, but I can’t fathom many things these days.

They can't just abandon an incumbent who even in the face of defeat continues to support loyally the party line.

Yeah, it’s just insane from a strategic perspective if your self-declared utmost priority is holding and/or expanding the Republican Senate majority. They could still salvage MT/IA/KS/SC/TX/AL and maybe one or two of ME/MI/NC, but they’re just wasting valuable resources in CO and AZ at this point. Unless their private polling is radically different from the public polls showing Gardner getting crushed even after the barrage of attacks on Hickenlooper and Gardner's "excellent campaign", it’s just completely unjustifiable malpractice.

Sure, it doesn't make sense strategically but abandoning Gardner would send a bad signal to the caucus, especially to the senators from swing states, that they are expendable.
