i'm kinda hoping Hickenlooper enters the fray. keeps hinting at it.
You mean the guy who is being investigated for ethics violations?
Lulz.. some dipshit state house person filed the complaint and claimed that going to a free conference in Italy was an ethics violation even though Hickenlooper paid for the trip himself.
Hickenlooper is not extreme enough to survive the D primary process but I think he could be a good general candidate. social progressive and moderate on economic issues that the middle of the country cares about. some chops on gun control with universal background and 30 rd mag bans in CO. strong on social issues.
If thats true, it still taints him. I wanted to verify it was him before I went too far into research. Fairly unique name, so I figured it was the right person.
get out of the weeds and see the forest.
a single off the wall ethics violation investigation and its throw him out with the bath water, double down and do a DNA test that proves you are not what you say you are and triple down after that? Lets nominate her!
if that is how its going to play, Biden is out too, his campaign paid a bunch of fines for campaign finance stuff.
Added her to the poll.***A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED***
Gillibrand officially threw in her announcement last night.
Younger than Warren.
Less black than Harris.
She just strikes me as a less frigid Hillary.
This is going to be a weird 16 months.

Biden's got a skeleton full of closets. His candidacy will dissolve like an Alka-Seltzer.
I think every candidate besides Bernie is fatally flawed. Warren is probably the closest, but to your point her DNA test is a huge issue.
You think the career politician with zero legislative accomplishments and who's policies don't add up, math wise, isn't flawed?

I know the A. Hill thing. I remember his guns thing. What else is there?
Like Kamala Harris, he's unacceptable to progressives because of his record on criminal justice.
While Harris is probably the most qualified, intelligent, cuthroat and politically savvy of all the female candidates(and well, the men who have announced at this point)...she's not the answer the Dems need. Good luck with PA, MI, IA, and WI with her. Ohio and Florida are definitely out with her. She can't win the electoral.
Do you have some examples? I like Biden, but, I'm still looking into everyone that is announcing.
Any single democrat should be able to win against trump easily. If America can't collectively empty out the trash that's in the white house now, then we deserve everything and anything we've got coming to us.
2020, like 2016, will be a binary election, period, full stop.
Add in the rampant voter suppression by the repubs and you have a Trump second term.Should yes. But we are beyond reason and logic in political decisions. Fuck *your* feelings. Mine are more important.
Interesting. The damage from that I would bet comes from the Left. The Right is going to see him as tough on crime. If he does run, then he will need to find a way to mitigate the Left while not going so far as to make the Right think he is weak on crime.
If it does play out, he will have do some work.
