(5,761 posts)considering she's been against legalizing pot in my state which is a huge issue here and widely supported. Colorado will go to Bernie.
Also considering that my Governor, John Hickenlooper recently expressed doubt about Hillary.....
Unlike most Republican candidates, Hickenlooper said he believes Clinton has the necessary background needed to run the country.
But, he added quickly, I dont know where this whole thing is going to go in terms of her (e-mail) server and whether there is something in there that is really going to turn out to have broken the law which I think would be the death knell.
His remark reinforced the anxiety Clinton supporters in Colorado are feeling given the constant controversy regarding how she handled classified emails as secretary of state. And he represents the second top Democrat in Colorado in recent days to voice such concerns.
