Opinion: Eric Holder out, John Hickenlooper in, but who has it all?
Former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper at a campaign house party in Manchester, N.H., on Feb. 13. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 4 at 11:45 AM Former attorney general Eric Holder writes for The Post that he won’t run for president.
Vision, honesty, capacity, experience and inclusiveness. Those five criteria help sort through the candidates. Some contenders plainly have vision , and most have sufficient honesty/integrity. . There are a few with capacity and fewer with experience . Inspiration and inclusion require self-restraint and patience in cultivating consensus; be wary of the wide-eyed socialist who demands we all leap before we look.
Holder’s announcement coincides with that of former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper’s announcement he will enter the race. Hickenlooper certainly passes part of the Holder test. In two terms as governor, he has shown the capacity and honesty needed for executive leadership and acquired the experience needed to deal with complex problems.
Hickenlooper teamed up with former Ohio governor John Kasich and a bipartisan group of governors to oppose repeal of Obamacare and offer specific proposals for stabilizing markets, expanding and reforming Medicaid, and fighting against anti-competitive health-care consolidation, “particularly among local hospital systems, pharmacy benefits managers, and pharmaceutical companies.”
