Former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper hopes to win the 2020 Democrat nomination for being president of the United States of America, and he apparently doesn't know very much about economics.
The simple man with the long last name was at a conference on Saturday and was asked a question having to do with economics. He was clueless about the acronym "GDP" not knowing it stood for "Gross Domestic Product."
"Our gross, whatever that stands for, demographic product," he told a woman at the "National Forum on Wages and Working People."
He was addressing the issues of child care and bemoaned how the country should be able to spend less of its GDP on health care. "You know, I should know that. I can't even remember," he added, in reference to the term's meaning, adding, "Where am I?"

The event was organized by the leftist organizations: Service Employees Union International and Center for American Progress. They hosted many Democratic candidates and sought to "provide an opportunity for thought leaders [yeah, 'thought leaders,' that's what's known as an oxymoron] to go beyond talking points and share concrete plans to rebalance our economy and democracy."
Hickenlooper's comments came just a day after the Commerce Department posted a GDP rate of 3.2 percent, something the president celebrated with a tweet on Friday. It also came after he previously posed the question as to why women are not asked if they would choose a male running mate. Brilliant! Why doesn't he just shoot himself in the foot seven times?
Before the 2020 election, Republicans have pointed to Trump's economic success while comparing him to the Democratic field of candidates. Along with low unemployment during his administration, GDP unexpectedly reached 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2018.
Hickenlooper consistently lagged behind his fellow 2020 candidates, receiving between 0 and 1 percent of support in multiple polls from April, leaving him to scratch his head and ask: "Where did you say I was?"
