Michael Bennet, the moderate, studious Democratic senator from Colorado known for his work on education and immigration reform, announced his candidacy for president on Thursday.

“My plan is to run for president,” he said in an interview on “CBS This Morning.”

Michael Bennet, the moderate,

His score from the American Conservative Union is 7%. The same as Gillibrand and Sherrod Brown.

These clowns want their 15 min of exposure to help with their reelections and/or get membership on some committee.

Heh.

“Moderate, studious” = “vapid, crowd following”

Hic pic is on vanilla ice cream (containing artifical sweetener).

At this point, I think a lot of these Democrats are doing it just as a resume enhancement. “Former Presidential Candidate...” looks impressive.

Or are they really that stupid?(I know, I know we’re talking about Democrats, but still...).

Michael Bennet, the moderate, studious Democratic senator from Colorado...

Doesn't matter how moderate or studious he is; he's still a RAT.

All anyone really needs to know about Bennet is that little tantrum he threw on the Senate floor a couple of months ago.

Isn’t it great to know from the NYT, every Democrat is terrific and just what the country needs. The only bad candidate is DJT. How simple for all the former DNC officials who now run the media.

The dude’s a carpet-bagging, bootlicking, Obama-toady.

He’s the dem equivalent of McCain & HRC - moved to CO to get “installed” as a senator. He has no real connections to the state.

Just because we had 16 in ‘16 they wanted 20 in ‘20, but now they’ve blown it.
