John Hickenlooper Wants To Battle!

John Hickenlooper toasts. He's in the race as well.
Former Colorado governor decides to get into the race.

John Hickenlooper decided to make a run for the Democratic nomination. He casting himself as "can do type of guy," the former Colorado governor will be in a crowded field all vying for the chance to lead this divided nation.

Donald J. Trump has a 70% chance of winning reelection. He is by far the most divisive human being to ever lead this nation. He is a formidable opponent and is willing to destroy this country to win.

As a two-term governor, Hickenlooper has said that modern politics is a "crisis of division."

"Probably the worst period of division that we've had in this country since the Civil War," said Hickenlooper during a taping of GMA with George Stephanopoulos.

Hickenlooper describes himself as a progressive, but will it appeal to fans who looking for a candidate that will not knee toe to the "status quo."


Do you believe John Hickenlooper is ready to be President of the United States (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)

Yes. As governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper managed to help make Colorado a state for everyone. He is a truly a progressive leader and he's got my vote.
No. I have no interest in voting for John Hickenlooper. He is one of the many corporate Democrats running for the nomination. He offers nothing more than the usual "socialist" ideas of many in the Democratic Party.
I have no opinion on John Hickenlooper. I want to know a little more before I vote for him.

The 67 year old former governor was born John Wright Hickenlooper, Jr. He is a politician and businessman who served as the 42nd Governor of Colorado between 2011 and 2019. He was born in Narberth, Pennsylvania, Hickenlooper is a graduate of Wesleyan University. He was married to Helen Thrope from 2002 until 2015. He has son from that marriage. He is currently married to Robin Pringle.

He studied as a geologist and soon entered the business in brewery.

He would be the co-founder of Wynkoop Brewing Company. He would locate his business in LoDo, a neighborhood of Denver. He would soon find politics.

He was elected the 43rd mayor of Denver in 2003 and served two terms, until 2011. He would end up running for the nomination of governor when Bill Ritter retired.

He would defeat the Republican nominee Dan Maes and far-white Constitution Party nominee Tom Tancredo in a sweeping victory.

He would also have another close call election when he took on Bob Beauprez and won.

Now as governor of Colorado, he was there when Aurora happened. The 2012 mass shooting at a movie theater sparked a sharp discussion on gun violence. His term was subjected to massive floods, wildfires, dangerous blizzards and Republican control of the statehouse.

Under his belt, he seen a handful of mass shootings. He's tried hard to get Colorado on board of gun control. He couldn't get the support of Republicans and some Democrats.

He says that he may not have the excitement of Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris, but he will be a candidate people will love to know.

Have a beer with John, he's willing to share one.
