Hickenlooper has a point

Like you, I’m having a hard time following the Democratic candidates running for President, from Beto to Bernie!  
It seems like all they do is make statements to appeal to the left-wing crowds showing up at their rallies.  My God, you can’t even get a Democrat willing to say that abortion in the eighth month is more than a talking point about reproductive rights.  These people are automatic responses to any question that comes their way.
I’ve asked myself a few times:  Will any one of these guys and gals ever say something politically incorrect?
My answer came in the name of Governor John Hickenlooper.  He may have said the unthinkable:   
Asked by Dana Bash if he would vow to put a woman on his presidential ticket, John Hickenlooper replied, “Of course,” and then said, “How come we’re not asking, more often, the women, ‘Would you be willing to put a man on the ticket?’” 
The governor has a good point.  
I would advise the governor to go further.   He should ask:  Why aren’t focusing on nominating a ticket that can win 270 Electoral Votes rather than just looking to check off boxes on an identity politics checklist?
I plan to vote for President Trump.  On the one hand, I want the Democrats to keep going lefty “crazy”.  On the other hand, our democracy depends on two serious parties that can discuss real world solutions to our complicated problems.   
Maybe Governor Hickenlooper is a ray of hope!
