Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) has joined the long list of Democrats who’ve entered the 2020 presidential race.

“I’m running for President to build a strong and safe country, create the jobs of the future, and elect leaders we can be proud of,” the former Marine said on Twitter Monday morning.

"I'm running because we have to beat Donald Trump, and I want us to beat Donald Trump because I love this country. We've never been a country that gets everything right. But we're a country that, at our best, thinks that we might," he said in his video announcement.

“Decades of division and corruption have broken our democracy and robbed Americans of their voice,” he added. "It's all led to an administration that's turned away from our values and is shredding our moral authority.”

Well, “Bob” Mueller is a former Marine and a RINO.

North Shore rep. He was known for being a veteran and taking out an incumbent Democrat. The only thing he’s done since taking office that I’m aware of us, is look for somebody to challenge Pelosi and then voting for her in the end. Not much to boast of there. Because he challenged an incumbent, some people thought he might be more conservative, but he wasn’t.

“[I]t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”
The president who engaged in that breaking wrote that in 1887. He made his views plain on individual rights—he firmly believed they did not exist and demonstrated that he also believed that democracy should attack them at every turn if they should assert themselves no matter what the 10th Amendment says.

“Well, “Bob” Mueller is a former Marine and a RINO.”

Proof positive that Republicans are, in large measure also POS! I mean just how many of the 22 “Republican Senators” up for re-election next year would you vote for? Or the 23 that are up in 2022? My answer is probably none of them!

RINOs are left-wingers. The term “Uniparty” is not used in vain.

Sad to say, there are a lot of former military folks who have somehow awakened on the wrong side of their rack. Guess the didn’t really mean it when they swore their oath. My dad swore me in and I still honor and respect the oath 50+ years later as it still carries the same weight now as then.

Been to Gardnerville lately? Weather’s nice this week.

All these "UNHEARD of" unknown clown candidates are simply in it for the money they can raise and then line their own pockets with it after the smoke and dust clears.

If you have you head so far up your rectum you could detect bowel cancer then you'll quickly make a donation to this clown's campaign coffers.

Is America great or what? /s

I am a life-long MA resident. Although I have heard of this guy’s name, I have no idea who he is. Which means he’s an absolute Nobody.

Yup. Junior Varsity John Kerry.

Rep. Seth Moulton becomes the 19th Democratic candidate for president

I have decided to time the announcement of my candidacy for the democrat presidential nomination when I can be No. 100. It should be sometime early next month.

I have as much chance as the rest of the nobody's who have announced so far.

Some are running for a cabinet position. Others are running for a job as a talking head at CNN or MSNBC.

Back to my original point about MONEY.

These are also alternative sources of MONEY and POWER.

“Been to Gardnerville lately? Weather’s nice this week.”

Will most likely be back up there next week. BTW we had dinner at the Carson Valley CC last time we were there. One of the other patrons overheard we were from CA and had just purchased a place there. He told us:” just dont bring your CA politics with you!” My wife replied that she was a two-term past president of her Republican Women’s Club and I told him that i was a former three-term elected member of the County Republican Central Committee, and furthermore that we liked guns and actually had one out in the car!” His reply:”God Bless you both and welcome to Douglas County!” We constantly remark to one another just how friendly and decent everyone there is. And the cost of everything is so much less. I think gasoline is a buck a gallon cheaper there than in the Bay Area.

$3.25/gal at the costco in Reno so probably about .30 cheaper in Carson and the Gardnerville area.

P.S. Claiming to be “R’s” lately may not help much. LOL! Jim Wheeler is the assemblyman from that area and is a straight shooter. Good guy. Sadly, the vegas cabal is now in charge of most major positions in the state. Sure you know that though.

I live in MA and I never heard of this guy.

I think the only person in MA who is not running for President is my and Joe Kennedy.
