How many people were killed in the 20th century because of urgent progressive energy?

John Hickenlooper Ends Struggling Presidential Campaign "Struggling" implies it had life; his campaign was STILLBORN. I can't figure out why he thought ANYONE wanted him to be President, but hey, I probably like him better than ANY of the remaining dems, i just can't figure out who the heck he is/was.

Somebody forgot to tell Beto the Bozo and de Blowstheholen their 15 minutes of fame is also over.

"Struggling" implies it had life; his campaign was STILLBORN. His strength would have been in the general election. But he wasn't promising free stuff for everyone so he could never gain traction in the primaries.

Out of all the democrat candidates, I thought he would do the best job as president if he were elected. Mostly because he is not a strong ideologue, and would not have fought to remove much of president Trump's legacy. But that is also why he didn't make it far.

“The Socialists (formerly Democrats) are urging him to run for Senator,where he could pick up a seat.”
Nice play on words considering his personal choice for partners... LOL

Correct.
I’m sure he was as “moderate” as Hillary.
I was looking forward to Hickenlooper/Heels-Up Harris 2020, too....

Gardner will not win re-election in Colorado. He is a fake tea partier who never misses a chance to stab conservatives. There aren’t enough conservatives, rinos or moderate democrats left in the state to re-elect him.
