Post #29. 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: none that I know of.
Newly declared candidates from last week: Thankfully, none.
Current counts: We're down to 13 declared candidates (12 if you don't include Killary) and 17 dropouts.
Please let me know via FReepmail if you find errors. Thanks! upchuck

I’m voting for Bernie if he is still viable when the clown show comes to NJ.
Many thanks for all your great information. Very useful!
Thanks for your work.

“Hillary will be declared the nominee in August.”
Big Mike is more probable. IMHO
Just Stand Back, and let them destroy each other!

Sit back and enjoy the dems in their circular firing squads!
Thanks to Bonemaker for this great reality.
Hillary/romney fusion ticket.
Cue the soundtrack of JAWS...
Thank y’all for the kind comments.
Circular firing squad pretty well describes what the Clown Car has become.
