Hickenlooper's pitch: Be careful, or you'll get more Trump.
The quote is: "You know, if we’re not careful, we’re going to end up reelecting the worst president in American history" (WaPo). That was his comeback, when the crowed booed him for saying, "If we want to beat Donald Trump and achieve big progressive goals, socialism is not the answer."In other words: Socialism doesn't work toward the goal of getting our party elected.
So... vote for him because he'll refrain from saying that word that bothers some of those people out there. But the people in his audience aren't inspired, and really, why should they believe that people will vote for a person whose pitch is that he'll try not to bother those other people?
The WaPo writer supplements Hickenlooper's weak pitch with material from a Wall Street Journal op-ed that ran under his name last month: He's "running to save" the "only economic system that can support a strong middle class." And Hickenlooper responded to a phone call and conceded that he'd spoken "inartfully" (with the problem seeming to be that he was picking on Bernie Sanders, the out-and-proud socialist in the race).
But in that phone interview, he repeated the pitch that got booed: "If we’re not willing to draw a bright line and say we’re not socialists, we could quite possibly reelect this president."
Years ago, I knew a man who had the verbal tic of saying "quite possibly." I think I may have cured him of it by repeating "quite possibly" back to him when he said it. Oh, it was all in good fun. It was funny. And he really did need to be cured of that.
Does Hickenlooper have that tic? He says things like, "These are certainly big ideas. But they’re also quite possibly very bad ideas," and "It’s not that they wouldn’t get a pathway to citizenship, but what I said was if you put it aside and didn’t make that a part of the immediate solution, quite possibly you’d get to a pathway to citizenship faster..."
You see how the "quite possibly" weaseling works. (Check your weasel for tics.)
But maybe it's a fantastic way to exhibit carefulness and thereby beat Trump. In fact, I propose it as a slogan:
John Hickenlooper — quite possibly!
