Steve Bullock (D), the governor of Montana, announced that he was running for president on May 14, 2019. "Today, I announced that I’m suspending my campaign for President.

Bullock withdrew from the race on December 2. 2019.
Kamala Harris (D), a U.S. senator from California, announced that she was running for president on January 21, 2019. “My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue,” Harris' statement said. Harris withdrew from the race on December 3, 2019.

Marianne Williamson (D), an author and lecturer, announced she was running for president on January 28, 2019. "I stayed in the race to take advantage of every possible opportunity to share our message. With caucuses and primaries now about to begin, however, we will not be able to garner enough votes in the election to elevate our conversation any more than it is now. The primaries might be tightly contested among the top contenders, and I don’t want to get in the way of a progressive candidate winning any of them." Williamson withdrew from the race on January 10, 2020.
Cory Booker (D), a U.S. senator from New Jersey, announced that he was running for president on February 1, 2019.

John Delaney (D), a former U.S. representative from Maryland, filed to run for president on August 10, 2017.

Michael Bennet (D), a U.S. senator from Colorado, announced that he was running for president on May 2, 2019. "I think it's fitting for us to end the campaign tonight," Bennet told a crowd in Concord. Bennet withdrew from the race on February 11, 2020.

Tom Steyer (D), founder of Farallon Capital Management, announced that he was running for president on July 9, 2019.

Steyer withdrew from the race on February 29, 2020.
Pete Buttigieg (D), the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, announced that he was running for president on January 23, 2019. “After a year of going everywhere, meeting everyone, defying every expectation, seeking every vote, the truth is that the path has narrowed to a close for our candidacy, if not for our cause,” Buttigieg said. Buttigieg withdrew from the race on March 1, 2020.
Amy Klobuchar (D), a U.S. senator from Minnesota, formally announced she was running for president on February 10, 2019. “The Klobuchar campaign confirms the senator is flying to Dallas to join Vice President Biden at his rally tonight where she will suspend her campaign and endorse the vice president,” said Carlie Waibel, the Klobuchar campaign press secretary. Klobuchar withdrew from the race on March 2, 2020.
Michael Bloomberg (D), ex-NYC mayor, announced he was running for president on November 24, 2019. "I’m a believer in using data to inform decisions. After yesterday’s results, the delegate math has become virtually impossible – and a viable path to the nomination no longer exists. But I remain clear-eyed about my overriding objective: victory in November," Bloomberg said. Bloomberg had a single victory in the Super Tuesday (3/3/2020) voting from the American Samoa caucuses. Bloomberg endorsed Biden before leaving the race. Bloomberg withdrew from the race on March 4, 2020.
Elizabeth Warren (D), U.S. senator from Massachusetts, announced she had formed an exploratory committee on December 31, 2018. She formally announced she was running for president on February 9, 2019. “We didn’t reach our goal, but what we have done together – what you have done – has made a lasting difference,” Warren said. Warren withdrew from the race on March 5, 2020.
Tulsi Gabbard (D), a U.S. representative from Hawaii, announced that she had decided to run for president on January 11, 2019. “Our nation is facing an unprecedented global crisis that highlights the inextricable bonds of humanity, and how foreign policy and domestic policy are inseparable,” she said. “The best way I can be of service at this time is to continue to work for the health and well-being of the people of Hawaii and our country in Congress, and to stand ready to serve in uniform should the Hawaii National Guard be activated.” Gabbard withdrew from the race on March 19, 2020.
Bernie Sanders (I), a U.S. senator from Vermont, announced that he was running for president on February 19, 2019. "I cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour,” he went on to say “While this campaign is coming to an end, our movement is not.” Sanders withdrew from the race on April 8, 2020.

This really needs poll numbers and donation amounts so we can see how the candidates compare to each other in those terms.
Because that will tell you how able they are to compete.

One term congresscritter.
He is no conservative.
A libertarianish guy who likes to call himself conservative.
Typical Republican conservative that didn't and wouldn't conserve anything.
He is a radio gasbag with few redeeming qualities.
-
I have tried to listen to him a few times, but his slow, overly-deliberate enunciation always made me change the station.
I guess the Republican challengers are trying to make names for themselves. It's impossible for them to believe they're going to rescue Republicans from the old bigotry smear by constantly drawing attention to the alleged bigotry of the guy most Republicans support. I don't buy that they're stupid enough to think that would make any sense.
But no, we don't need to worry about keeping track of these gimmick challengers to Trump. Unlike the Democratic candidates, none of these guys has a chance of winning anything.

I thought it was the Joe Walsh from The James Gang/Eagles who ran YEARS ago... :old:

doesn't matter who d's nominate, Trump going to win in a landslide because people vote they wallets.
especially if he can kill o-care and allow people to buy cheaper coverage according their individual needs.

My impression of the D Candidates:
Biden : He's the crazy uncle you warn your kids about on your way to Thanksgiving Dinner at your parents.
Warren and Sanders: The college profs who teach required classes and the only way to pass is to parrot back what they say.
Buttigieg: Is anyone checking ID's around here ??
Booker: Change the words to She's got Bette Davis eyes to He's got Corey Booker eyes. i'm waiting for his eyes to pop out of head.
RF O'Rouke: He will never be elected to any office in Texas, but he has guaranteed Texas will remain R for the foreseeable future.
Harris: Regarding my record as CA Attorney General. "These are not the Droids you are looking for".
Yang: Watch me violate campaign laws on live TV.
Steyer: I out do Yang by buying enough supporters to qualify for the 1st debate. But no one donates to me because I'm as rich as Trump.
Williamson: I make all the others look sane.
Gabbard: I'm was a moderate, until Pelosi reminded me about who controls the re-election campaign funds.
Klobacar: Walter Mondale v2.0.
The rest of the field: Who?

Me too.
I think her problem ended up being that she was so used to everyone in CA fawning over her and her politics, she somehow thought she could skate through national elections with that same, "Kamala is our hero" user base.
Her campaign soon learned that CA, Twitter nitwits, and other small but vocal social media minorities don't make up the entire country, and you can't run on superficial platitudes. Plus she appears to be a moron.

And Julian Castro is now out.... but was he ever really in?
I'm hard pressed to think of a time when I heard his name in a context where he was actually considered to be, well, a candidate.

The Toga Toga Toga comes from an PM exchange I had with adively in which I compared the crop of front runners to Rome of old.
If you give people bread (in the case of the Dems, free *expletive deleted*it... I'm going to give every American $10 trillon a month, a home, a corporate title, and a puppy!) and circuses (ORANGE MAN BAD! BAD ORANGE MAN! ORANGE MAN DANGEROUS! WE IMPEACH ORANGE MAN!) they'll love you and not bother to worry about the real problems they're facing.
-
So it appears at this point, other than mayor Pete who is also white, all the other finalists will end up being wealthy, old, white, and in the 0.10%
The diverse democrats!
Also I just saw that Bloomberg plans to spend $1 billion on his campaign. How many poor Americans that he uses as his poster children could he help by not running for president and using that money towards them?
They all bash Bill Gates, but at least he's a liberal who puts his money where his mouth is. He's, with zero presidential aspirations, done more for the world than any of these jokers.

I hadn't been paying attention to it, but apparently because of a brouhaha between Warren and Bernie regarding women running for president, a ton of people are demanding refunds of the donations they made to Warren. :rofl:

I think the ticket is going to be Klobachar and Buttigieg. Just from how each camp is campaigning in Iowa.
-
I think Gabbard was their best shot to actually win. She's enough "not crazy" to not scare away the silent middle folks, and she tends to look and speak well at rallies and debates. I think Trump would do poorly against her in his standard verbal attacks.
She's not ideologically pure enough to win the primary's., but the hard Dems are going to vote for whomever the party throws out there. They should have told the loud primary voters off, and nominated someone that could give Trump a decent run. As it is, they will go screechy left, Trump will do Trump, the partisans will retreat to their corners and the folks in the middle will flip a coin.
You'd think the DNC would have learned from the 2016 Primary that their instincts aren't great.

I felt the same way about Tulsi, but the progressives did their best to keep her quiet.
This is the last weekend for the sitting Senator presidential hopefuls to campaign for a while, going to be an interesting 3 days here in Iowa.
Bernie, Warren and Klobuchar are going to be stuck in DC for a while with the impeachment trial.
-
I felt the same way about Tulsi, but the progressives did their best to keep her quiet put the kibosh on her campaign with the same crap tactics they use against Republican opponents.

Like if some TV crime procedural needed a stereotypical looking person for the role of a politician who turns out the be the murderer they find a guy who looks like Delaney.

I still predict Bernie becomes the front runner, but that the party *expletive deleted*s him at the convention. It would have been Biden but now I think it'll be Bloomberg.

I'm inclined to agree. The DNC has apparently changed the debate rules to accommodate him (and no, I don't mean he's allowed to stand on a box):

Klobachar strikes out, and Gabbard will be Guam baby Guam after Tuesday.
Warren will likely not do well and will have her reservations about continuing, leaving us with the billionaire, the bumbler, and the Bern.
-
And when a candidate exits they don't have to give the money the raised back and can put it towards other electoral purposes, yes?
So maybe running for POTUS is another way of funding your down-ticket effort. You've no interest in actually being president, you just want to keep your seat but running for POTUS gives you a national audience and allows you to pull in more money than you could just from the locals.

Sen.

"We want to take the time to thank Senator Sanders for moving the party forward, changing the conversation, and for inspiring a movement of voters to get involved for the first time. His contribution to this primary race and the Democratic Party won’t be forgotten by anyone here at the Democratic Party of Virginia."
Moving the party forward? To what? Protocommunism?

Now, Mike. The Left's ideas are always the future, because they've never really been tried just the right way by the right people, so we still have to prove they're going to work.

Me too. I was looking forward to the chaos. But, antifa still might make a stink and set some *expletive deleted*it on fire.

I also saw Biden is apparently going after Kamala Harris for his VP.
When this all started, I was firmly in the, "They're going to push Harris for president" camp, until she made stupid statement after stupid statement, showing how she's only where she is because California. Now I may have to go back to my original thought: Biden is elected*, then found incompetent due to dementia, and Harris is president.
*Narrator: "He's not getting elected."

I also called Kamala as the nominee. I'm fairly certain the DNC was going to put in the fix for her. Of course, that's why they have been trying to destroy Gabbard, because she ruined their plans.

But for Antifa that's just thursday :lol:
I'm with WLJ, it really wouldn't surprise me if he ran 3rd party as a fairwell fuckyou. He cucked out in 2016, but he has to know this is his last throw of the dice politically.
