In a candid conversation, the speaker shares their thoughts on the recent behavior of Republican gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx, who has been declining invitations to debate his opponents, including a recent one from Club twenty, a group of twenty-two counties in western Colorado. This episode delves into the implications of Marx's decision and its potential impact on the Republican Party's brand and its chances of winning in the Western Slope.

The speaker discusses how Marx's behavior is a departure from the party's tradition of nominating candidates who engage in debates and take questions from moderators, citing the examples of past Republican winners who have successfully debated Democrats. The speaker also highlights the importance of Club twenty, which has been a crucial event for Democrats running for statewide office, and how Marx's absence sends a message to the party's base and voters.

The conversation touches on the idea that Marx's decision may be hurting the party's brand and its ability to win in the Western Slope, where Republicans should be competitive. The speaker also notes that Marx's strong base is not growing, and he has not added any votes in the region since declining the Club twenty invitation. This has led to questions about the party's nomination process and whether it has chosen a candidate who is willing to engage with voters and the media.
