Who's running? Post #24

Jan 6, 2020

Post #24. 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.

Dropouts in the past week: Julian Castro. He has the privilege of being the first dropout in 2020. He's moving from the first list to the second list.

Newly declared candidates from last week: Lincoln Chafee, former governor of Rhode Island has registered to run as a Libertarian. He's not new to this. He ran for POTIS in 2016 and thus has experience. The more the merrier.

We're down to 16 declared candidates (15 if you don't include Killary) and 14 dropouts. Wonder how many will be on each list when the Iowa primaries arrive?

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

Lincoln Chaffee. Give me a break.

Steyer can’t drop out soon enough to suit me. His TV ads are constant. I just hope that it’s his own money he’s spending on those.

As a person who doesn't watch TV, you have my sympathy.
