Gutierrez seemed to be mapping out was the type of campaign that could be used to hold the Democratic Party accountable for its commitments to the nations immigrant and Latino communities, instead of what he sees as a party that abandons them when it becomes inconvenient.
It wouldnt be the kind of campaign where hes trying to win the nomination so much as a campaign to collect delegates and carry the cause of the immigrant community to the convention.
For a comparison, think of the Rev. Jesse Jacksons groundbreaking presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, when he energized black voters and used that as leverage to gain power within the party.
What Gutierrez did say Tuesday is that rather than retire hes going to travel the country meeting with immigration groups to build a party infrastructure thats going to make sure were ready to win in 2020.
Im going to have conversations and dialogues. Youve heard this before, Gutierrez said.
Yes, weve heard that kind of talk before from people wanting to run for president.
During his news conference, Gutierrez ruled out running for mayor of Chicago or governor of Illinois. He even ruled out running for governor of Puerto Rico, which I had considered a real possibility.
I waited around afterward with a small group of reporters to ask one more question.
Are you ruling out running for president?
Im not, Gutierrez said. And then he left.

No!
If this racist, Laz Raza POS got elected, the deep red states had better secced. It will be open season on whettos and gringos by our Amigos from south if the border.
Another grievance mongering, open borders Chicongo crook?
Been there, done that. Keep the rubber side down SunTimes.
Yeah, that could have been worded a hell of a lot better for someone that has been here since 98.
Never happen...
Nope. Top spot reserved for Kamala Harris, and they won’t put a second Californian on the ticket. That spot is going a Latino from some other place, like that San Antonio guy.
Oh, please run against Trump in 2020! Please! 49-state LANDSLIDE for Trump!
“We have all had it up to HERE with nigers and womenzez and ......”
You’re not too bright to say something like that here where enemies of conservatives can pick you out as a Poster Boy for Conservatives.
Not funny and highly offensive. Stop being a troll.
For President?! No, that is just PR to help him go out on a positive note. He’s corrupt, likely quitting now to try and avoid a sex scandal, and he is over-the-top anti-American. Then again, if Dems can’t get Hillary to run again, or Sanders, or Pochohantas, then maybe he’d do.
I suspect that it was posted by a leftist troll.
Why do I think we will have to endure presidents that are group identity enhanced, regardless of ability; until the electorate realizes that that method of selection has no basis?
This is totally offensive and inappropriate here on FR or anywhere. This is not what Trump or any of us are about.
“I suspect that it was posted by a leftist troll”.
Certainly not by a level headed, smart conservative.
I thought it was humorous, not funny.
I apologize.
