Post #26. 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: Corey Booker. He's moving from the first list to the second list.
Newly declared candidates from last week: Thankfully, none.
We're down to 14 declared candidates (13 if you don't include Killary) and 16 dropouts. Wonder how many will be on each list when the Iowa primaries arrive on Feb 3?
Please let me know via FReepmail if you find errors. Thanks! upchuck

The Hildabeast swooping in on bat wings and broom is a certainty.
She’s an addict. Addicted to power and the abuse thereof.
She can no more resist than a junkie can walk away from another fix.
Don’t be surprised if some of her opponents drop dead.
I didn’t know Patrick was in the race - rumors of it but definite? Same with Chaffee?
Patrick announces: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3793827/posts
Chafee announces: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3805868/posts
Chaffee at nearly 2 in the a.m. on FR that long ago? UGH!
Patrick - yesterday but I must not have WANTED to believe it!
Why was Patrick in the news a few years back? Some issue but I’ll be darned if I remember what it was...Another liberal with all the answers. They aren’t easy to forget but whatever he was warbling about didn’t stick with me.
Why not just put the nomination up for auction?
