I should have added that to qualify, candidates had to average 1% in at least three of a billion major polls conducted this cycle, or collect 65,000 individual contributions.
Maybe my request for $1 for Bennet may have had some effect.
However, their overall polling average is still lagging: Bennet has .08% and Hick is in second to last place with .04%.
They are going to have to raise their Trump-bashing game to make the next cut.
Question that I would like to see: Bennet/Hickenlooper, what makes you a bettter qualified than Hickenlooper/Bennet?
And your point is? We were ALL into some radical movement back then.....that was when we
thought we could actually change the world....and banded together to boldly go forward.
ONCE again: WHO are the WE "that were ALL into some radical movement back then?" What RADICAL MOVEMENT were YOU involved in?"
You were NOT involved with any RADICAL MOVEMENT. Just say so. Remember IRAN/ CONTRA and BUSH. Is that the BEST you can do?????

Straight forward answers not possible here most of the time.
MORE appropriate anthem....''4 dead in OHIO''.....that would be my age of political awareness.
It was after that I started to REALLY view the world outside of myself. Altho I was not a rabid
rioter,I started reading more and listening to the masses......NIXON'S notorious reign, when it became apparent Impeachment movement was massive and could not be denied....REGAN'S
''TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS'' that did nothing for the middle class. BUSH's mission accomplished....and THEN I discovered the book ''Confession's of an economic hitman".....in my own small way, I attempted to "turn on a light, in a darken room.''... thru grass roots efforts and a conviction that ''that it was the right thing to do''.......A moral compass. So-o-o, in answer to your question....No, I did not go to jail or suffer injuries from a police beating, BUT I STOOD UP and was counted, I voiced my convictions.....and I still do so in the present.
You state that you were not a RABID RIOTER, does that mean that you were a NON-RABID RIOTER? Don't take this personally, but I have a great deal of difficulty with the broad brush that you use . If you were involved in a RADICAL movement as you stated," WE ALL were", please tell us the group. DON'T blow smoke . Sen Blumenthal of Connecticut tried the same tactic with his statements about being in Viet Nam, please don't repeat his sins. I sincerely hope that you are not a 60's wannabe, whether serving in Viet Nam or protesting the U.S. involvement in that war, doing neither but now espousing one or the other.
