Well, Hickenlooper is now officially in the 2020 race. [View all]

From the Hill:

Hickenlooper launches 2020 presidential campaign

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) on Monday announced he is running for president in 2020.

“I’m running for president because we need dreamers in Washington but we also need to get things done,” Hickenlooper said in a campaign video.

“I’ve proven again and again I can bring people together to produce the progressive change Washington has failed to deliver,” he added.


Oh...and this is CLASSIC:

Republican National Committee spokesman Michael Ahrens said in a statement that Hickenlooper "is the latest tax-and-spend liberal to join the race."


LOL, if 'tax-and-spend liberal' is the best they can do, the GOP is about to become the next dodo bird. To my mind, it is better to be a tax-and-spend liberal than it is to be a cut-taxes-and-run-up-huge-debt republican.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
