Two signs suggest Hickenlooper is running for the Democratic Party nomination for president

It is getting real. Two signs suggest Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper truly is running for the Democratic Party nomination for president.

The first sign is that former Republican Speaker of the House Frank McNulty has charged Hickenlooper with violating ethics laws by traveling to meetings in private jets paid for by private interests. The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission will decide the validity of the charges.

We doubt McNulty would be going after Hickenlooper in this way if he did not consider Hickenlooper a serious Democratic candidate for president.

The second sign is that the term-limited Hickenlooper has announced a committee to help him mastermind his 2020 campaign for president. It’s called the Giddy Up PAC. The first item on the committee’s agenda should be making strategy for winning the first four Democratic Party presidential caucuses and primaries in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
