The Left certainly was hammering this point home after President-elect Donald J. Trump's upset win over Hillary Clinton on November 8 and now The New York Times has joined the "let's abolish the Electoral College because our gal lost" bandwagon.

Half the fun of making New Year's resolutions is the inevitable feeling of relief when we abandon them in mid-March or, let's be honest, late January. This year, instead of setting myself up for failure, I thought it'd be more fun to help out some of Colorado's finest with their goals for 2017.
