This and notice the crowd he's speaking to... The mostly out-of-state Dems who called him in 2013 and told him to pass the bills. Reminds me of "Beto" getting all that coastal money to turn Texas blue. Beto had to go far Left to get the cash but then couldn't get elected.

But for him to have any shot at even getting basic attention for the nomination, he's going to have to bend the knee to the DNC, which means signing up for all of the planks in their party platform.

Yes and he chose not to run on that. He could have presented himself as a sane moderate in a field of radical socialists while talking up Colorado's business record. But he's running on gun confiscation instead and coming from a state where gun control caused recalls with continued mass shootings (failure as always).

This will play well in CA/NY.

Wouldnt they like him more if he did both?

Why use "or"?

Yeah, expect the DNC to select for an openly gay Hispanic female. That should push all the democratic white guilt buttons...

Even though I agree, that's what nearly EVERYONE said about Trump. In the words of Gomer Pyle - "Surpriiise, surprise, surprise!"

That's how the game's played. Hickenlooper doesn't have a shot in hell at president, but would probably be a good VP choice for the Dems if they go with someone like Kamala Harris or Corey Booker for president. Hickenlooper is just boring enough in presentation and appearance that he'll calm down all of the boomers who've been punching their ballots for the dems since the late 60s.

Sort of how they picked Biden for VP for Obama as a way to help defray the criticism that Barack didn't have any experience.

Good ol Hick. I can?t believe nobody has called him out about his pervy ass grabbing when he had the downtown restaurants. He was a good day drinker and pervert with the female employees. Witnessesed it many times. He?s a clown.

Tru dat. All of the also-rans are starting to crank up the gun control rhetoric. We're going to see mo' mo' crazy as we get closer to the Democratic Convention.

He has no chance at all, he is just trying to stay in the spotlight.

I am still waiting for him to be called out on his non-decision about the Chuck E. Cheese murderer's (name is not important) date with the death penalty.
He could not commit to commuting the sentence, or to proceeding with the execution.
Presidents have to make decisions whether they are popular or not - a President just can't say I will postpone that to the next office holder's term.

"The murderer was sentenced to be executed for killing four people at a Chuck E Cheese restaurant in 1993. When the moment came, Gov. John Hickenlooper halted his execution to give him a temporary reprieve in 2013 — but didn’t grant Dunlap clemency. He left it to the next governor to ultimately decide Dunlap’s fate."
