CLEAR LAKE, Iowa — Former Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado is in discussions about ending his presidential bid and entering the race for his state’s Republican-held Senate seat, potentially giving Democrats a strong candidate in a race they must win to have hopes of retaking the chamber in 2021, according to four Democrats familiar with his thinking.

He can’t win he might as well quit. I hate to see it happen. I love to watch fools waste money.

Cory “Chauncey” Gardner is very weak, and would likely not defeat Hickenloopy.


Dems run to the sound of guns. GOP cuts and runs. Should it be any surprise Dems wipe the floor with the GOP?

Is he the guy who watches porno flicks with his mother, or is that another demented Democrat? So many clowns, hard to keep up.

Gardner won the nomination running against Udall by 1.9 percent. He will lose to Hickenlooper. Colorado has gone too blue.

“He got his name out there.....”

Sure has. And with his name, it probably took some of those liberally educated type guys in Colorado working for the papers a couple of hours to get the correct type and get them in the proper order to make sense of the headline. And then they had to do it again for the follow on column on the back page as that’s where they put topics they lose interest in that don’t mean squat. It must have been torture.

This ain’t good, but we saw it coming. Cory is a weak McCain RINO and I don’t want to vote for hi. We’ll see.

Gardner has voted in the Senate 96% of the time with President Trump ... i guess ya’ll think Hickenlooper will do better than that ...

Chances are Hickenlooper will beat Gardner. Gardner is a 1st class RINO.

I knew Gardner was no good when I received an email requesting donations to repeal Obamacare. I called his office and raised hell.

I dont. But Cory won his last election by less than 60k votes. CO seems a lot more blue since then

There are those (Dan Caplis being one) who think it was never about getting the Presidential nomination but rather amassing a war chest for the Senate race. For a guy who accidentally became a politician, he sure got entrenched quickly.

Unfortunately, I think he will be a formidable opponent to Gardner. His "aw shucks" ads appeal to a lot of the greenies here. Ugh.
