None of the above.
Ditto. Hick needs to retire to the talk show circuit, he's a perfect fit for them. Bennet should just Do His Damn Job.
If Ken Salazar drops a hint, Colorado COULD have a trifecta.
It's no time for politics-as-usual . . .
B: Not dynamic enough
H: Cannot lead on climate change
Ummmm, neither is presidential. And if Bennet thinks student loan refis and reducing evictions are compelling issues, especially compared to his many peers who are far more inspired, and notwithstanding the fact that he’s completely missed out on this past election’ message, then, besides being a Corrupt Corporatist, this shows that he’s also an idiot
Bennet, because Zappy's head would explode.
Memo to Bennet and Hick about Presidentin’ White Guys from some internet dude.
ahhh, a memo from Kos….
The Breitbart of the left.
Precisely, R&R.
Arrrrrrrrrrgh !!?????!!?????!! . . .
Seriously, unless Gary Hart throws his hat the ring, Colorado does not have a player in the 2020 sweepstakes
Now there's a thought………. Where's the beef?
There was a nice tribute to George the Elder from Sen. Hart in this morning's Denver Post.
They're not running for President.
Hickenlooper is running for Vice President.
Bennet is fantasizing.
Not so sure, david. For the next year or so, Iowa is the center pof the universe. If bernie and kamama and elizabeth and Cory and my parakeet all divide the looney left vote, a centrist like Hickenlooper could win it. Then, all bets are off.
I agree, V, but it is a long shot. And only one centrist Dem can be in the race. So there will be no room for the Cowboy Dems from Montana (Bullock, Tester or the former MT governor whose name escapes me), or Mark Warner, or Terry McAuliffe.
It's like the conundrum of a so-called moderate winning the GOP nomination. The John Kasich strategy. (Although what passes as a moderate has changed significantly over the past couple of decades.)
And keep in mind that if a non-leftist wins the nomination, the Trotskyites will be screaming bloody murder that the system is rigged, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Brian Schweitzer is the name you're spacing out, R&R
Yes, him….Thanks, Cook!
Nope. Amy Klobuchar, from next door Minnesota, who is already a very familiar face to Iowa caucus goers, has the "common sense, good government, non-fire breathing" lane locked up.
I like her. Especially after she declined to take the bait offered by Brett Kavanaugh: "Do you like beer, senator?"
Yes….much more mature answer than, say, "While I appreciate the offer Judge, I am a married woman."….which might have captured more media attention.
Klobuchar is my first choice. But I not only bet on the Titanic against the iceberg, I gave six points!
I've got a real problem with rewarding those that assassinated Senator Al Franken, one of the Dems' most talented politicians. I know I'll probably have to get over it at some point, but at the moment, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Harris, and the other Dem Senators that threw Al under the bus (including our very own Michael Bennet), can go suck it.
Women who have been groped have a real problem with not holding sexual predators accountable.
Especially female Fox News contributors. And, that was fake groping per the photo on the USO plane.
It was a hoax! Fake news! Alternative facts! Nothing is real!
He didn't touch her in the photo — he joked that he was. (re: groping). She accused him of French kissing her during a rehearsal. And, a few others later accused him of groping them during photo ops.
My, R&R! You think that's enough to disenfranchise MN voters? You have a bad case of the vapors!!
There is nothing to keep him from running in the Democratic primary in 2020 when that seat is up again. The voters will have the opportunity to compare him with Tina Smith.
Alcee Hastings was impeached and removed from the U.S. District Court, then ran for and was elected to the U.S. House. There are sometimes Second Acts in life.
As Moderatus likes to say, "Let the voters decide!"
I agree that's all just a clown punching fantasy for Bennet. Tough to say about Hickenlooper, though. Fossil fuel industry contributions would surely be sufficient to get his foot in the door, and that's all you really need in a race without a frontrunner.
Spot on, David
Hick should/will join Bennet in the US Senate.
If Perlmutter doesn't get elected speaker in January, he'll probably run to join Bennet.
Hickenlooper is too old at age 66.
Michael Bennet is the right age, but about as exciting as a school superintendent.
Ed Perlmutter is too old at age 65.
Ken Salazar is too old at age 63. (It would be fun to watch the right-wing nuttos call him an illegal Mexican, though.)
Amy Klobuchar is too old at age 58.
John Kasich is too old at age 66.
Terry McAuliffe is too old at 61 and too tainted by Clinton association.
John Tester is too old at 62 and his state is too small.
Get off the senior bashing shtick, idiot. To call Klobuchar too old is just stupid. 58 may be her age, but the way you're ranting lately, it also sounds like your IQ.
No problem admitting my low IQ.
As an angry old white man of age 70 I say it is time for the Boomers and Oldsters to exit center stage.
Time for the Xers to take over.
And, yes, it is ageism.
I want dynamism, competence and a defensible record more than an age line. The younger candidate, if they're the right one, will beat the elder. That is the right way to eliminate senior citizens
Usually … "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance." – David Mamet
In this week, I'm particularly recalling the 1992 election — when an incumbent 68 year old person experiencing difficulty with "the vision thing" [and his hapless boy wonder of a VP] ran against a rich Independent [and his inarticulate, not-a-politician VP candidate] and an articulate (possibly even "slick") outsider Democrat [with his less-than-slick insider candidate for VP].
I could go for a re-run of that campaign. If we could do that and NOT excessively empower a Newt-led backlash, that would be even better. Avoid some proto-#MeToo moments by having an honorable female at the top of the ticket, it would be even better.
So, anyone know a 50-something female outsider, known as competent in running an organization or a state, who can inspire people? I think there should be a boomlet for Cecille Richards or someone like her.
No on both. Bring on a progressive with brilliance and passion.
