One of my early favorites, Steve Bullock, has dropped out. The Democrats are doing their best to pick the most unappealing, unelectable candidate again this year. Seems like they need Martin O'Malley to talk some sense into them.

Interesting. I was invited to a Whitney Williams campaign fundraiser this week and figured talk of Bullock would drive the convo - now it will be what's next for Steve.

CNN political analysts were at a loss for words while discussing a poll conducted by the Economist/YouGov that found 53% of Republicans said that Donald Trump was a better president than Abraham Lincoln.

And now Tulsi is the only hot one left.
What did she do wrong?
I mean other than after the first debate nobody seemed to like her but am not sure why? She was s little hard on Joe..
I think she was democrats best hope to beat Trump given Biden’s issues

there currently is a huge D in the white house…
One interesting note is just how much Biden has the black vote locked up…Both Harris and Booker are non factors..if that doesn’t change he is going to be tough to beat particularly with Sanders and Warren splitting the so called progressive vote
If Kamala dropping out helps anyone it’s Joe

“Tonight, a white Bernie Sanders supporter ripped the microphone out of a black elected city councilwoman's hand who was talking about her positive experiences with Mayor Pete Buttigieg. He screamed over all of the black leaders who gathered to endorse and show their support for our Mayor, including the leader of the local NAACP chapter, saying, "where are the black leaders?" The brother of Eric Logan (the black man who was killed by a cop earlier this year) had to wrestle the microphone out of this man's hand.”

Patton Oswalt? I liked him better on Justified.
He is wearing a “Black lives matter” shirt
The guy never claimed to be a Bernie supporter. That claim was made by Buttman's aides.

Several Buttigieg campaign aides reacted on Twitter, suggesting that the protester was loyal to another presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
“This is what Black folks who support Pete experience all the time on Twitter,” Buttigieg’s traveling press secretary, Nina Smith, tweeted. “White men, grabbing the mic, insulting us, calling us ‘uppity’ ‘purchased’ and ‘tokens’ all in support of certain white male candidates. Careful YOUR racism is showing.”
