Colorado Senator Michael Bennet says he'll run for president—but only if he overcomes cancer

Colorado Senator Michael Bennet has said he is poised to make a bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination—but first he needs to overcome prostate cancer.

“The idea was to announce sometime in April,” Bennet was quoted as saying. “That was the plan. We hired some staff. We interviewed people for positions in New Hampshire and Iowa. And then I went for the physical. In my last physical, my PSA was high. They did a biopsy, and it was clear. But this time, it was not clear” he explained referring to prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced exclusively by prostate cells.

Bennet has compared his situation to that of John Kerry, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent surgery during his own successful bid for the Democratic nomination in 2003. Bennett has been told his risk of further cancer is low following surgery, which his family has decided, at his age, is the best course of action.

He's corrupt. Anyone who doesn't understand the issue with the border, or points blame of government shut down on their colleagues before looking in the mirror, is corrupt.

oufenix Epic. But nowhere *close* to being a good reason to run for POTUS, especially with so damn many other candidates already running.

I forgot how much I hate Ted Cruz.

Very cool.

PATHETIC!!!!!!!

What a demagogue hypocrite.
