Hickenlooper doesn't rule out 2020 speculation (Today's Laff Riot)
The Politico ^ | August 2, 2017

SOME NEWS -- We asked COLORADO GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER during a Playbook Exchange event here if he would run for the White House on a ticket with OHIO REPUBLICAN GOV. JOHN KASICH. He said: “I don’t think Kasich would ever do that … You never know. You never say. He’s an easy person to work with. He’s strongly opinionated. And quick to his opinion. But he also knows as much about the federal budget, and understands health care at a deeper level than almost any other governor I know. ... I don’t think it’s in the cards. But I do like the idea of working with him in some context at some point.” The governor told us Trump has told him he's taken notice of his appearances on TV.

-- WILL HICKENLOOPER RUN AGAINST SEN. CORY GARDNER (R-COLO.)? He said he was “disappointed” with Gardner’s stance on health care. “That’s not the Cory Gardner I thought I knew.” Hickenlooper said he is “not ruling anything out.” When asked what he thinks about when he considers running for a seat in Washington, Hickenlooper joked, “I think why me? What did I do to hurt you?” Video of the event at S&P Global’s Denver office http://bit.ly/2ujrpA8

Hickenlooper was re-elected thanks to Tom Tancredo. Tancredo lost the Republican primary for governor and then mounted a third party campaign. Tancredo received just enough votes to snatch the victory away from the Republican candidate.

Now you can put Tancredo in the same barrel as McCain.

you’re either a liar or a stupid idiot.

Tancredo ran against Hickenlooper the FIRST time Hick ran in 2010, and Tancredo stepped in only after the fool Pubs nominated a total nutjob, Dan Maes, who btw, pulled in only 11% of the vote after claiming he was a secret agent for the Kansas State Police, while Hick pulled in 51%, a MAJORITY and more than ALL other candidates combined, it wasn’t possible for some other candidate to snatch victory away from Hick!

In 2014, Hick ran for re-election against Bob Beauprez. Not only was Tancredo NOT on the ballot (or even a write-in), but Trancredo was the one who encouraged Beaprez to run in the first place.

The fact he said he would consider running with K-SUCK, tells you all you need to know about K-SUCK.

Tancredo did not run in 2014, when Hickenlooper was reelected.

He did run in 2010, and gave Hickenlooper a real run as a third party candidate. Tancredo was right to do that, the GOP nominee got mired in some scandal and selfishly refused to drop out. Blame him, he sucked votes away from Tancredo.

By “did not run,” I mean in the general election. He did in the primary.
