Post #6. 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. Below is a list of declared candidates, their occupation, the date they dropped from the race (if they did) and misc. notes.
This thread will be reposted each week, likely on Monday, with the dropouts from the previous week and newly declared candidates noted. The dust biter(s) from last week: Kirsten Gillibrand. Newly declared candidates from last week: None, thankfully.
Please let me know via FReepmail if you find errors. Thanks! upchuck

The schedule of Democratic debates is here.
Qualified debate candidates: Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, Kamala Harris, Beto O’Rourke, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Andrew Yang.
That’s quite a field. So many morons, so little time....
Not one of them is qualified to run a 7-11.
I guess Tulsi Gabbard is by Biden reckoning. No accent though.
She (Tulsi) will make a name for herself. And may even be a formidable VP contender depending on who wins the non...but I find her rather deceptive.
There is another Rat that will step in and be approved by the DNC convention. This is a Show/Entertainment until their savior announces...a draw for money.
*My opinion.
Unqualified debate candidates: Michael Bennett, Steve Bullock, Bill de Blasio, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard*, Wayne Messam, Tim Ryan, Joe Sestak, Marianne Williamson.
*and isn't that a shame.
Agreed 100%. But who will be the mystery candidate?
Some have suggested Mike nobama. But I disagree. He’s less qualified than any of the clown car residents we already got.
I think Liz Warren will be the nominee.
I totally agree.
The draw will be Black & Female...Historical!
Just like Hussien.
Right beebuster?
That’s the highest DeBlasio has ever been on any list. Thanks, alphabet.
Maybe alphabetize them? Ping me please on future updates.
If there is no contested convention they can't throw in the Wookie or Hillary.
Many on our side aren't helping, as they haven't the nuanced perception which comes from paying attention to many campaigns across the decades. They just don't realize that giving the Democrats a chance to insert a fresh face near the end of the election (and after the primaries is relatively near the end of the election cycle) gives them a considerable advantage.
Seriously doubt that there will be a deus ex machina to rescue the Dems. One can only imagine the outrage from the candidates who put themselves thru the process and the reaction of their supporters if the DNC chose someone other than one of the candidates who campaigned during the primaries.
Can you add me to your ping list? Thanks.
Unless he’s indicted, which is always a possibility, look for Andrew Cuomo, to come out of the shadows and raise the standard, after the others have torn each other to pieces.
I agree. Andrew Cuomo. He’s making all the moves.
Andrew Cuomo.
