Post #32. 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: Tom Steyer dropped out after an embarrassing 3rd place finish in the South Carolina primary behind Biden and Sanders. Link. Pete Buttigieg has also dropped out. His efforts to mainstream homosexuality via his campaign are at a thankful end. Link.
Newly declared candidates from last week: Thankfully, none.
Current counts: We're down to 8 declared candidates (7 if you don't include KILLary) and 22 dropouts. Tomorrow (Super Tuesday) should be interesting.
Please let me know via FReepmail if you find errors. Thanks! upchuck
