After bombing in the First Debate, Hickenlooper's campaign manager and staff bailed days later. In what had the appearance of a classic backroom deal, as soon as Hickenlooper dropped out the D.C.-based [[Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee]] ([[DSCC]]) endorsed him for Senate, snubbing seven local women candidates. The women immediately asked the national party to stop interfering local affairs, rescind its endorsement, and not dictate to the state party its preferred crony or stooge.<ref>https://townhall.com//columnists/tuckercarlsonandneilpatel/2019/08/23/why-obama-dropped-biden-n2552094?</ref> A deal was most likely cut between Hickenlooper and the national party, that if Hickenlooper would get out of the way and stop competing for funds in the presidential contest, he'd be the favorite of the party's D.C. fundraising machine for Senate with out-of-state money from Washington [[lobbyist]]s. The deal provides a look into the insider trading for power, position, influence, and donations within the DNC establishment.
