I think it would be excellent if he ran for Senate. He would provide little to nothing as VP.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Two older white males on the ticket is disaster in the making.

from serving with another white man, he has a political and optics point.

For the record, you title reads as though he has something against serving with Biden specifically. That's not what he was conveying.

At all.

In many ways control of Congress should be our first priority. Bullock and Stacy too please!

At least that's the only reason given in the tweet.

Could you possibly fit that into your OP subject line?

Hickenlooper won't consider Veep spot with Biden, says ticket shouldn't be 2 white males

That would fit. I just checked.

And it would avoid giving the impression Hickenlooper was rejecting Biden somehow, and you wouldn't have people reacting by saying he wouldn't be asked anyway, and so on.
