| These Democratic presidential candidates could be the next political casualties | |
| 2019-11-06 | |
[MCCLATCHYDC] We’re now at the stage where financial and political realities crush the hopes of more. The pace of casualties will increase. Already a third of the overweight field has given up. Most recently, it was Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan.
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California and 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, indistinguishable from the others... and Cory SpartacusBooker U.S. Senator-for-Life from Noo Joisey, formerly the mayor of Newark. Booker is a candidate for president in 2020, running on a platform of Make America Newark. He once wrote an essay on how to grope babes. He is noted for having an imaginary friend named T-Bone... | |

| #29 #17 Buttigeg is the Mrs. in his relationship. I stand corrected and confused. Buttigieg is an impressive person with many accomplishments. Bright guy. He'd probably be the most difficult person to debate. I think the West and East coast left wing establishments would love him. IMO, the rest of the electorate is a little fed up with the Progressive game of "let's push a candidate who checks off as many of our identity politic categories as possible." |

| #28 Mayor of a tiny town with high crime, racial strife, and a TOTAL Shithole if they didn't have Notre Dame BINASH! |

| #27 ^ AP article linked from Drudge: Safiya Khalid, 23, soundly defeated a fellow Democrat on Tuesday for a seat on the Lewiston [Maine] City Council. Shrugging off attacks on her skin color and faith, Khalid declared that “community organizers beat internet trolls.” |

| #26 ^ NEVER AGAIN. Exactly the problem with our Shitshow process. It promoted a stoner as an affirmative action admit to an elite college, where he f---ed around and learned nothing, whereupon he was accepted as an affirmative action admit to an elite law school, where he he f---ed around and learned nothing, whereupon he was accepted as an affirmative action admit to an elite law review, he f---ed around and WROTE NOTHING-- absolutely nothing-- which never happens for editors of that law review. Whereupon he was accepted as an affirmative action hire to a Chicago law firm, where he f---ed around and achieved nothing and was, FINALLY, washed out and forced to confront his essential shallowness. At which point he reinvented himself as something called a "community organizer"-- who organized no one and, once again, achieved nothing. You know the rest. Enough of this virtue signaling, identity politics Shitshow. No more identity candidates. Never again. |

| #25 Never forget that a "community organizer" was elected president. |

| #22 Well crikey the whole gang looks like a Village People album cover. |

| #21 Butt. is 37 years old, and his entire political experience consists of being the mayor of a tiny little college town. His candidacy is a joke. |

| #20 Buttigieg should not be underestimated though. He hasn't said too many dumb things yet. |

| #19 Biden won't survive "Hunny"...or his brother.. or his niece... or... |

| #18 My money is still on Biden. Iowa and NH won't matter less than people think. Warren's healthcare plan is unsustainable. Even most Democrats understand this. |

| #17 Buttigeg is the Mrs. in his relationship. How do you get that, JohnQC? The other guy took his name when they married, and is a junior high school teacher. Mayor Pete has Harvard and Oxford degrees, was a Naval Reserve lieutenant in intelligence, and at some point worked as McKinsey consultant. |

| #16 buttigieg will, in Jan 2020 become the former mayor of the 4th largest city in Indiana |

| #15 Poca. Woman, nutcase, energetic/manic and not pushing 80 years old. |

| #14 I think Hillary would get chewed alive in a debate if she were to run. Just think of all the stuff Trump probably has on her. IMO, the country is not ready for an openly-gay POTUS. The other one was in the closet (sort of). Too much confusion for voters. Buttigeg is the Mrs. in his relationship. Can he be POTUS and the first lady too? I'd say Bernie or Pocahontas. |

| #13 ^ (Part of a) Mexican state. Sonora Del Norte. |

| #12 That assumes Cali is still a state down the road. |

| #11 Don't waste any sympathy on Kamel-Toe. She has a safe seat in the Senate. The way California is these days, she will never have to break a sweat campaigning to keep it. She's still relatively young and has gained valuable experience in presidential politics. Wouldn't put it past her to try again some time in the future. |

| #10 Bernie will do commercials for "The New Geritol formula." "It gives half your iron to someone else, because if you are still alive you clearly have too much!" |

| #9 ^ Bingo. Grifters gotta keep on griftin'... If you're a junior league Grifter who never made it to the White House, then your reward is in the 7 figures instead of 9 ( a la Gore, Clintons, and Zero). For ex-Senators and Swamp brass, small screen beckons. |

| #8 Well, if you are dumb enough to pay for cable TeeVee, you will see these losers around. Since Sheppy Smith got fired at FauxNews they have a ghey quota slot open and I expect Buttgig will land there. Cornhoolian to Univision. Kamala-ala-dingdong to The View. Where will the rest land? You tell me. |

| #7 #5 What a strange world when a guy named Castro is running for President. Can't wait for the next cycle when Stalin runs We already had Fartacus and Tex Kennedy. Next we'll probably have an actual prostitute run for president -- oh wait... |

| #4 Another one hoping for a VP slot. No point continuing to crowd out the candidates. Now is the time to grab some coattails and hope you are noticed by their wearer. |

| #3 Is there an over-under on when Shrillary is going to announce that she's being "forced" to rescue the Democrat Party? |

| #2 One of the largest group of losers recently assembled ...well after the Republicans in 2016 except the Winner of course. |
