'Hickenlooper drops POTUS bid - several people disappointed
2019-08-16
[FoxNews] Coping with a struggling campaign and facing the reality that he wouldn’t make the stage at next month’s third round of Democratic presidential debates, former two-term Colorado 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...
 ended his long-shot bid for the White House on Thursday.

"Today, I’m ending my campaign for president. But I will never stop believing that America can only move forward when we work together," Hickenlooper said in a video released on social media and through email.

#10  He's going after Corey Gardner.

And he might succeed, given Corey's squishiness combined with Californication.

#8  The Looper sucks, as Governor he really hurt Colorado but he's loved by many idiots here in CO. With Colorado turning blue in our last election, we're all suffering from the trifecta of the Democrats having the Governor, the State House, and State Senate. All the Progressive Liberals moving into Colorado bringing their left wing ideals makes me seriously consider leaving Colorado a state that I love but it's getting awful with the progressive lefties that you run into constantly. I'm tired of fighting. Lord give me strength, currently we're fighting to keep TABOR (taxpayers Bill Of Rights that limits big government) that Polis and the Dems want to get rid of. Feeling so hopeless.

#4  What? He's not gonna waste any more time and money tilting his lance at the windmill and showing the whole country what a whack job he is in the process? I'm disappointed.

#3  The obscure Dem governor that comes out of nowhere and wins the presidency has worked well in the past (Carter, Clinton). Guess the times really are changing.

Or a phlegm-speckled spitball?
