No kidding. Biden makes 20 in the race. Wondering how long before they start dropping like flies. Politics are funny I'm getting a good laugh out of it.

I like that he cares about our country and wants to do what’s best for our citizens. Specific policies are almost irrelevant because the House and the Senate play a huge part in what gets accomplished. Some of the Dem candidates, like Sanders and Harris, are totally impractical. Many of their policies cost way too much, as our present deficit is so enormous that the country cannot afford them. I don’t think it’s fair to leave the next generation with that burden.

Think about it. What policies did Trump layout except that he hated Mexicans and Muslims. Tear up NAFTA, become an isolationist country. So what he really won on was “blow everything up and put Hillary in jail.” He brought the worst factions of our country out to vote for him. He scares me to death.

Give me a moderate, decent, smart, educated, caring citizen with some political experience. (Yes, Mayor Pete’s experience is good enough. It’s certainly more than Trump had.)

A lot of a President’s expertise and success comes from the people he chooses for Cabinet posts and heads of agencies. I think Mayor Pete is smart enough and decent enough to pick really good, honest people for those positions.

Default Sneaky Pete Seeks Election Advice From Hillary Rodham

What can a living organism learn from someone who:

1. Lost to a Game Show Host

2. Lost to a black guy with a Muslin name

3. Lost 3 states that have been Democratic strongholds since the early 90s (including losing 2 of them in a primary race)?

Make that make sense....

At least it makes beating Sneaky Pete even easier.

Her advice will be:

1. Lose to Trump.

2. Then blame your loss on every one, and everything, including your own Party, and ignore any responsibility and accountability for the real reason you lose. YOURSELF.

3. Drink massive amounts of CHARDONNAY.

Don't forget about taking a long hike in the woods after crying your eyes out all night.

Any candidate can lern a lot from a previous nominee. The campaign trail is different for the Presidential race than all others, and win or lose, someone who's been on that trail all the way to the end has a lot of knowledge that could be very useful to a beginner.

What's another name for muslin? That's a fabric, and it only has one name.
