Did Hurd announce he wasn't running because trump picked Ratcliffe?

If I was Hurd, I would have been insulted that I wasn't asked to consider a nomination to DNI. Instead, they ask the sycophant. Sure, Hurd was only one of four republicans to vote for the resolution condemning trump for his attacks on the "Quad". But he would have been a shoe-in with the Senate.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
