Post #33. With so many rats running for president in 2020 it's hard to keep up with who's in and who's out. Hopefully, this post will help. This thread will be posted each week, likely on Monday, with the dropouts from the previous week and newly declared candidates noted.

Below is a list of declared candidates and their occupation. Below that is a list of dropouts, their occupation and the date they dropped from the race.

Dropout(s) in the past week:

• Amy Klobuchar dropped out on Monday, March 2, endorsing Biden for president. Link.
• Mini-Mike dropped out the morning after Super Tuesday, also endorsing Biden for president. Link.
• Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren dropped out last Thurs, 3/5, without endorsing any of her rivals for president. Link
• Cory Booker (who?), who dropped out in January, has announced his endorsement of Biden. Link.

Newly declared candidates from last week: Thankfully, none.

Current counts: We're down to 5 declared candidates (4 if you don't include KILLary) and 25 dropouts.

Please let me know via FReepmail if you find errors. Thanks! upchuck

The schedule of Democratic debates is here. The next debate will be Sunday, March 15, 2020 in Phoenix, AZ when we'll get to see Slo Joe sitting down. Maybe that will somehow lessen his dementia?

A calendar of the caucuses and primaries is here. This coming week will be very busy with caucuses, primaries and a convention. See the link for info.

That Kamala Harris is a mean bastard

[null and void]

You are too kind, and perhaps gender confused? She’s not a bastard, she is a mean cast-iron b!tch...

Lincoln Chafee is running as a libertarian, so we are down to three declared democrats (two of whom are actual democrats).
