As per local news last night, Gov. Hickenlooper is currently vacationing in New Hampshire and will be doing some political stuff while there. He’s also planning a trip to Iowa in August.

And so it may begin.
Sigh.

“While the term-limited Colorado governor is no stranger to summer holidays near Squam Lake, his visit to help open a New Hampshire Democratic Party field office on Thursday continues to fuel speculation he is seriously preparing a presidential bid.
...
Hickenlooper is also preparing for trips to Iowa in August. Hickenlooper has previously said this summer will be critical in his decision making process.“

I'm an independent/Republican hybrid and I can name Donna Brasile and Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz of the DNC because of the Dem scandals. I remember Reince Priebus as head of the RNC because I was a campaign volunteer. But I can't tell you who the current RNC head is. I think it's a woman with dark hair.

Isn't their job basically to fundraise and distribute the money to the various campaigns?

Ha! Synchronicity! As soon as I posted the above, I checked my inbox and found this:

The media giant, Twitter, is accused of "Shadowbanning" many conservative Republicans as reported by Vice News, The term "Shadowbanning" comes from the act of an online media service banning a user or their content while the user is unaware of the ban. Vice reports "The Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel, several conservative Republican congressmen, and Donald Trump Jr.’s spokesman no longer appear in the auto-populated drop-down search box on Twitter."

Exactly, as much as people talk about the DNC chair, you would think the DNC and RNC chairs were both prominent figures, but they arent.

Even as both parties have had sitting members of congress, and even sitting governors as chairman, neither position is more than "chief party fundraiser"

The question was that the public was not interested in addressing the problem of illegal immigration and I posted a link that states it is the number one priority. How is that not addressing your question?

You think illegal immigration should be the leaders main priority? Considering Americas illegal demographic comprises 2-3% of the population IMO theres more pressing issues than a few million illegal residents.

Because I explained why they are not and you did nothing to dispute that. If they were serious they would be demanding that e-verify pass tomorrow.
