So what's the news? Any updates to report?
Sorry I ment with the original ban. When it was going through - didn't a reporter ask him about his opinion on if he would sign or veto and his response was if the house and Senate pass it, then that is what they want and he has to sign it.Quote:

And here I thought I couldn't hate this SOB any more than I already do. [Mad]
If he's allowing his flunkies to make promises for him, then he's clearly in dereliction of his duty and should step down immediately. The people of Colorado (stupidly) voted for HIM to make decisions, not some goddamn minimum wage flunky.
Hickenlooper's political career is over and he's completely clueless about it.
You win the forum for the day. No balls respond to him this way.Quote:

"If this gathering is any indication, Hickenlooper may be on the verge of building buzz as a 2020 hopeful. Several attendees pointed to him as someone who could rescue the party after its disastrous 2016 losses."
I don't see the dems promoting him to be a national candidate - lacks the far, far left bonafides. The big money and dem elitists are eliminating everyone who isn't idealogically pure in their eyes - like the guy running for DNC chair who inconveniently pointed out this week that islam is "anti gay" (it is). Hickenlooper is at best a political opportunist rather than a true believer. Also his appearance and speaking are not "eyes or ears friendly".
I agree with your assessment, the left is doubling down and hickenlooper doesn't fit their mold.Quote:

CO has become a blue state, and will stay that way, especially with the changes in the voting system and constitutional amendments this last election cycle.
This. We've crossed over and won't be going back any time soon.Quote:

I guess California has been struggling with this for years though. Wasn't someone pushing this a few years back?
I didn't say I gave up. I just don't see it happening.Quote:

Might as well lump Boulder in as well.Quote:

Bingo. If more people had this outlook we'd be much better off.Quote:

Nah, Denver is all you need to get rid of and eventually the liberals will all flock there and surrender Boulder. Boulder could be a great town if not under liberal control.Quote:

Often I wonder why we don't drink from the skulls of our enemies anymore?Quote:
