Hickenlooper campaign ‘bleeding’ as calls for dropping out intensify
[KDVR-TV, Denver] Former Gov. John Hickenlooper
... former governor of Colorado, yet another of 2020's innumerable Dem candidates. His selling points include being less grabby than Biden, less Cherokee than Warren, assuming that's possible, and taller than Gillebrand...
's staff shakeup has not gone over well.

Multiple reports suggest Hickenlooper senior aides have been in turmoil in recent weeks, with Politico reporting Hickenlooper's aides have called for him to drop out.

Monday night, FOX31 confirmed Hickenlooper's campaign manager Brad Komar, his finance director Dan Sorenson and his spokeswoman Lauren Hitt are all out.

"These campaigns are long, hard campaigns and you don't always get it right with the first team," Hickenlooper said on MSNBC Tuesday. "I'm not always the perfect front man for my own ideas."

"It's bad - it's bleeding," said Andy Boian, a FOX31 political analyst who has advised Hickenlooper over the years.

"I think what his staff is saying, if you've seen the Politico report, is that they've urged Hickenlooper to get out of the race. His senior aides -- I think they are feeling is a sense of frustration, particularly the finance director, who I have known for 25 years -- I think it's tough for him to stay in a race where he sees no momentum being built," Boian added.

Out-of-the-gate loser.

We actually need the most communist candidate to run against Trump next year. The big payoff will be a couple "hot mic" moments on election night when Trump wins easily and early. A couple newsie talking heads will be caught saying something along the lines of "we will never get true communism socialism in this country until elections are abolished."

You heard it here first.
