Chickenpooper would be the perfect demonrat nominee.

Is there no video of the event? I’ve been looking and can’t find any.

As a two term governor of a medium size state, Hickenlooper may be the only Democrat Party candidate who is at least notionally qualified by experience for the office of President of the United States.

(Guess I should also include Biden since “creepy Uncle Joe” was VP under Obama.)

Not saying I’d vote for the governor but he at least has some idea of the day-to-day requirements and complexities involved in directing a big government bureaucracy made of multiple departments with geographically widespread operations and constrained by law, regulations and budget.

(Come to think of it, take Biden off of the list.)

“I don’t know what I like more about socialism, the totalitarian oppression, or the abject descent into poverty...”

Hilarious. I’m gonna use that.

Socialism is too right-wing for the Demonrat Stalinist hordes.

For those who wish to learn more about the evils of Socialism from someone who was eye witness to Stalin's initial Five Year Plan, I heartily recommend Assignment in Utopia by Eugene Lyons.

Looper knew this would get a reaction and headline. He bounce now from 0.5% to 2%.

They are Communists first, Jew haters second, and baby killers third

Not sure your order applies to all of them. Many like the killing most of all, with babies and Jews alternating in first and second place.

I have no problem with people admiring socialism and wishing that was the system we had here. Those people deserve our sympathy, not our hatred.

I do have a problem with assuming that the opinions of such mental defectives are valid in the same way as a normal person and thus acting as if their votes count.

Correct. He needs attention. But will it work? He’s somehow already met the polling threshold to make the master debates, short on donors.

Gillirand keeps going harder and more psychotically to the left but nothing is happening for her.
