Post #31. 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. It's been two weeks since the last dropouts. The confusion in Iowa and Nevada over counting votes apparently hasn't caused anyone to leave the circus. The rest of this post is the same as last week's.
Newly declared candidates from last week: Thankfully, none.
Current counts: We're down to 10 declared candidates (9 if you don't include KILLary) and 20 dropouts.
Please let me know via FReepmail if you find errors. Thanks! upchuck
