Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper announces 2020 presidential campaign
CNN ^ | March 4, 2019 | Dan Merica and Scott McLean

Posted on 03/04/2019 6:22:07 AM PST by C19fan

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper on Monday announced he is running for president, launching a 2020 campaign in which he will lean on his Western roots and decades of executive experience.

He made the announcement in a video titled "Standing Tall," which tracks Hickenlooper's life from laid-off geologist, to owner of a brew pub, to mayor of Denver and to governor, and touts the Democrat's experience in a variety of fields as a key reason he should be the person to take on President Donald Trump in 2020. Hickenlooper casts the President as a "bully" in the more than two-minute video.

Shouldn’t that be “announces a 420 campaign.” ?

ive been watching since the first Republican Debate. Trump was actually the one bullied. He just stands up to bullies.

Bring it on, fellows. Always room for one more.

Toss one into the bonfire, toss them all. This is President Trump you are ultimately going to have to deal with, and he demolished your “best of the best”, Herself, in 2016, while not even seeming to be breathing hard.

And the expression on the faces of all those supporters of Herself as the Electoral College results came in? Priceless. Encore, Maestro!

Don’t forget all the Republican “frontrunners” whom the Donald left in the dust.

Chickencooper is a well known gungrabber, among other things.

That Colorado Clown is so lightweight one could have put him in the Hindenberg instead of hydrogen and the ship would still be lighter than air.

Even Occasional Cortex will turn this little fake twit into vapor.

However, since the Build-A-Borgs have selected him, we’re going to have to look out for the normal deep-state Obamastuff. This clown just might be their nominee. Be afraid, be very afraid.

More clowns cramming into the car.

While that is an apt characterization, there is also this:
The Socialist/Progressive/Communist/Bems are anxious for as many Dem candidates as possible to appear on the national scene. Each candidate will attract Dem voters that otherwise may have been indifferent about voting. Once they get involved they will be more likely to vote Dem no matter who is its candidate The handlers will make every effort to assure the ultimate candidate is the most radical of the group.

(What can we do about it? Probably nothing other than to conduct by every means available a 24/7 program highlighting the R selection 24/7.)

Based on asking for support and even looking to hire paid staff in Iowa, add:

Eric Swalwell
Andrew Yang
Sherrod Brown
Eric Holder
Steven Bullock
Michael Bennett

to the official 12:

Booker
Buttigieg
Castro

Delaney
Gabbard
Gillibrand

Harris
Hickenlooper
Inslee

Klobuchar
Sanders
Warren

And note that Biden and Michael Bloomberg are in, but don’t think they need to start early.

Lickenpooper is a Bilderberg stooge. He did nothing positive for Denver or Colorado as mayor & governor.

Nothing but a bootlicker for billionaires.

Hickenlooper - Buttigieg 2020!

I remember when Dukakis ran, there was a cartoon that said, 'Dukakis? That sounds like what you take your dog out to do in the morning.'

Yes, he is a white male. That, on the surface, would seem to make his candidacy terminal.

But wait! He has a disability!

It’s his name — Chickencooper, or whatever.
