Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: John Hickenlooper considering dropping Presidential bid, running for Senate [View all]kag
(4,079 posts)40. Ugh. Do any of the people posting here know that Colorado already has a GREAT candidate for Senate?
I'm amazed and very disappointed that all of the people posting here think this is such a great idea.
We NEED Andrew Romanoff in the Senate. Hick was okay as a governor, but as he himself has said, he is unsuited to working in a legislature, and really wants an "executive" position.
Romanoff was the best Speaker of the CO House we've ever had. He would be an amazing Senator, and is a REAL Democrat. Has everyone forgotten that Hickenlooper was "rumored" years ago to consider running as VP to John Kasich if he had won the Republican nomination?
And just for clarity, I do not know either man personally. I've just lived in Colorado long enough to know our politics, and know who would make the best Senator for our state.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
