Are you ready for … Kasich/Hickenlooper 2020?
2017-08-26
[LibertyUnyielding] Why not? Hey, nothing says excitement like two governors who found themselves on the sidelines of their respective parties last year looking for ways to be relevant two years from now. Axios reports that a public tour by John Kasich and John Hickenlooper on health-care reform has a longer-term strategy:
Axios has learned that their duet is part of an alliance that’s gaining momentum toward a possible joint independent bid for president in 2020, likely with Kasich at the top of the ticket ...

Some establishment Dems are apoplectic about the idea of Hickenlooper teaming up with a Republican. One top strategist told me: "No Dem wants Kasich anywhere near our ticket. Sounds like a No Labels fantasy, but moderate Dems would hate it."

But a veteran operativeemails: "Our political system is completely broken. Something big and historic needs to happen to break the logjam. I’m a big Dem but I’m for anything that ... does away with this hyper-partisanship on both sides that is paralyzing our government."

#9  What a pair, Kasich calling a cop an idiot after being pulled over on a traffic stop and the Looper IMO, I have a hunch is an easy target for bribes.

#6  I'll give Hickenlooper one thing - it's very unusual for a Democrat to have some level of entrepreneurial spirit.

#4  Perhaps Gov. Hickenlooper can call upon his old friends at Platte River Netorks for assistance.

Excerpt: Baffled by how Clinton decided to hire Platte River, ex-employees suggested David DeCamillis, the company's vice-president of sales and marketing might have had a hand in courting her business.

Another theory put forward was that Colorado governor John Hickenlooper recommended them to her. The Democratic National Convention was held in Denver in 2008.

Tera said: 'David DeCamillis was a big Democrat. He went to the Democrat Convention.
'He definitely helped Platte River grow, he had a strong sales background. And he brought a lot of clients on, that was his role as the VP of sales.'

Platte River co-founder Tom Welch revealed DeCamillis – who we revealed was sued for fraud when he worked for Lou Pearlman, the disgraced music impresario who discovered Backstreet Boys and NSync – had hoped to put up Joe Biden, now the vice-president, during the 2008 convention.
'During that Democratic Convention David DeCamillis was going to rent his home to Joe Biden. It was in a relatively posh part of Denver, it was called Washington Park in downtown Denver,' Welch said.

Something big did happen, it's called Trump.
