Colorado's John Hickenlooper denounced socialism – and then got booed

A successful business man with both a clear positive record in commerce and moderate to left wing politics gets booed by the Democratic Party.

If a candidate with a clear measurable record of success is shouted down.....?

The entire Democratic Party? Really?

As for "shouted down," the article doesn't indicate whether the crowd reaction prevented him from completing his speech.

And finally, “socialism” is a loaded term. It’s unclear whether the crowd was booing in support of socialism, or in protest of what they thought Hickenlooper was trying to do in his use of the word.

Other than all that, it's a tremendously important moment.

The Dems are being overrun by the Progressives. No moderate who would probably attract any Independents or Repubs who break with their party will be nominated by the Democratic party. It's all about how far left can you go. They are begging for a Trump 2020.

Aren’t they? Trump is going roll over anyone who isn’t centrist and who doesn’t embrace capitalism.
