Now down to Bernie, Biden and Bloomberg. There's a joke in there somewhere...

Liz out too ? I’m glad Pete is out of the race because the temptation to mispronounce his name was getting too much for me.

And Pokahontus

Yeah she's going to head back to the reservation after tomorrow IMO, maybe even today but I think by end of the week for sure.

Maybe she'll claim she was secretly pregnant and was discriminated against by the DNC.

I'm glad he's out b/c he was the Dem's best candidate IMO. An outsider, very well controlled political interface, military on his resume, mid-western.

A lot of times the best candidate is the guy with the least negatives. His inexperience means very little to pin on him, but like Beto he just never got traction. Some of that was playing way to much to the harder left when he needed to be more Klobuchar and be more moderate.

Either way we're down to the most establishment, career politician the Democrats could find, a multi-multi-multi-billionaire who either loves or hates having young black men fondled by cops, and a guy who cites Castro and China for their social advancement programs.

Half the country despises Trump's very soul and they still may have found a candidate he can beat.

IMO it will come down to the coronovirus as to who wins this election anyway, but none of these 3 guys was a tremendous choice.

Same thing the GOP did last time. There were better choices than Trump, but that's how the voting fell out. He just won b/c Hillary was pompous about swing states and also deeply unlikable and obviously dirty as Boss Tweed.
