Out!

Well Mayor Pete took his ball and went home, and after having a hometown campaign event shut down by radical, right wing, racist, sexist animals, Amy throws in the towel as well.

While it's certainly tactically smart to thin the herd and try to rally around one candidate, I'm not sure that taking the more reasonable sounding candidates out of the race is a good idea.


Oh!  What! Really?!

My bad, Amy's rally was disrupted by a bunch of BLM protesters who are upset with her because they think she's racist.  They think that the bluest of the blue (city and county) in a majority blue state is built of systemic racism and that Amy was part of the racist system.

I'll admit that it's strange to complain about systemic racism, while voting over decades for the people who control and run the system that is systemically racist.   But, what can we do?

For me personally, it'll probably involve financial and volunteer support for Lacy Johnson.    It might seems strange that a racist like me would support a black candidate that I can't vote for, but life is strange.

Nice to see these two out, but I have to say that I find it difficult to decide which of the entire group is truly the worst...the total socialist who is proud to be one, or any of the others that pretend they aren't. The latter group may be more dangerous by not embracing their socialism as Bernie does.

Honestly I think Bernie is the least dangerous. Because he has no constituency in the congress, he’ll find it virtually impossible to accomplish anything significant. If the DFL loses the house, it’ll be gridlock. Which in this case would be fine.

I was disappointed that the new comedy show with the yelling old people wasn’t on tonight, it was pretty funny.

And now it appears that Warren is ready to bail. It'll be interesting to see to whom she sends her supporters...Bernie or Biden. I would think Bernie given how similar their positions.

It looks like they're bailing on Bernie. Given her titanic level of narcissism, I'm surprised she bailed this early. It seems safe to think that the DNC is pulling out all the stops to keep Bernie from getting the nomination. It'll be fun to see the ads of Biden criticizing Trump for his treatment of women voiced over video of Biden groping, smelling, and fondling women at public events.
