Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: John Hickenlooper considering dropping Presidential bid, running for Senate [View all]kag
(4,079 posts)I know his record, but I also know that in the 2010 caucuses he beat the crap out of Bennet. If Obama hadn't endorsed Bennet in the primary Romanoff would have the seat Bennet does now.
I also know that he lost to Mike Coffman in 2016. The year of Trump. Jason Crow barely won that seat two years later in the Democratic wave when Dems came out strong, and Republicans were tired of Trump.
Romanoff not only has a good chance of beating Gardner, I think he has the BEST chance. He's compelling, a great debater, and very strong on policy. And he WANTS to be in the Senate. Hickenlooper just wants to be elected to SOMETHING. I truly don't think he cares what. He just wants a bunch of people to vote for him.
And as I have said, Romanoff is a true Democrat, unlike Hick who goes around warning Democrats not to embrace socialism. Romanoff knows his shit, and would beat Gardner handily.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
