Re: Hickenlooper, the ethics issue is a nothingburger molehill that's been turned into a mountain but Hickenlooper's opponents on both sides for political reasons. It's basically the email server scandal of Colorado.
Hickenlooper is a popular two-term governor. As soon as he got in the race he began polling ahead of Romanoff by margins like 68-11 or similar. Just like in Kentucky, it was only at the last minute that the race began to tighten as a slew of progressive endorsements for Romanoff turned it into another unnecessary establishment-vs-progressive fight.
I really can't believe y'all are holding this up as an example of why you hate the Democratic Party but I suppose anything works to arrive at the conclusion you inevitably longed to get to. It's pretty obvious that sawx is just clinging irrationally to any reason to hate the Democratic Party at this point, which is why he keeps bringing up isolated Twitter bulls--t and complaining about Dem leaders supporting popular candidates who poll at 50+% ahead of their primary competition.
Most voters were very bothered by the email scandal whether you like it or not. Bottom line is Chuch Schumer begged(and basically forced) a candidate who ignored a court order l(which of course we rightly criticize Republicans for) into a Safe D race when several people had already announced. That's pathetic and it's sad your still defending this insanity.
