Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is the latest to join the crowded Democratic field for president in 2020. He launched his campaign Monday morning with a video called “Standing Tall” that tracks his life from being laid off as a geologist to becoming the owner of a brew pub, and then elected mayor of Denver before he was twice elected governor of the state. He paints the president as a “bully” who needs to be defeated. “I’m running for president because we’re facing a crisis that threatens everything we stand for,” Hickenlooper says in the footage, against a backdrop of provocative images of Trump behaving badly. “As a skinny kid with Coke-bottle glasses and a funny last name, I’ve stood up to my fair share of bullies.”
