Dennis Kucinich hints at a run in 2016

Is Dennis Kucinich Throwing Hat in Ring?
By Betty Slyan

Speculation is running high this afternoon, since Dennis Kucinich answered a question from this reporter outside an undisclosed location this morning. "Are you going to run, Dennis?"

His cryptic response: "If I can get this damned shoelace tied, yes I'm going to run," did not provide real clarification. Many are saying, though, that his entry into the Democratic primary race would be very welcome.

It's as reliable as many sources people use. Maybe its just struggling to keep up with all the traffic right now. Keep trying...

On the bright side, you can register any domain name you'd like, so there's that.

Kind of like the more vocal Sanders supporters who trash Hillary at every turn for being too far to the right while heaping praise on Biden. I think Hillary supporters should start a Kucinich PAC in case we are witnessing Sanders top out. Shit, how do they do it. Simply being that shady jokingly doesn't feel right to me.

Hell, most of us assumed there would be a dramatic switching of preferred candidate long before he actually pulled that trigger.

after "caucusing for Sanders" in his constituency, as he was saying he was planning on doing.
The person's posts display zero affinity with progressive Democratic party goals, with just about anything on Bernie Sanders' platform - and in fact display a deep antipathy.
And people like that do manage to win on false pretences more often than is comfortable, and their betrayals are fucking spectacular.
