That subject is what got my attention when he was in the race.

on Corona virus. As with Inslee, he is seriously on top of things too. Such a stark difference between them and the clown show trump orchestrated yesterday. Getting his VP to overpraise him while he photo bombed with that serious face he puts on when people praise him. Sickening.

Feb 2020

they leave out one of the tests, so the kits only test 2/3 of what they should.

I keep saying that Trump doesn't want to test people because it will show how much the virus has spread. Trump wants to ignore the problem and when people die he can blame it on the regular flu.

better than who is left. Think there's an aura of self-respect they earn when they quit. They don't hang in for ego sake even if unlikely they will win.

We have global purpose. At least some of us. These two purposes conflict.

I could see top three. Everyone else on bottom after super Tuesday. Make an exit!

I heard a black Dem analyst the other day say that with such little AA support (an no evidence it will grow and AAs are a large Dem voting block), she didn't understand why in the world Amy would stay in. Thought it was undemocratic.

I literally had to vote for the one I disliked the least. We should have been able to do better, going up against Donald Fucking Trump.

I think we wouldn't have someone to adore. And never did I think with all the ammunition we'd so meekly attack trump. JHC I could give them a dozen horrible things he's done that are under the radar and are less political than Ukraine.

They all have expertise and experience we can use - and from which America would benefit.

There’s an ungodly amount of wreckage to fix and/or clear away.

My only caveat is we need to make sure we don't strip the Senate bare. I realize any Democrat we take our of the Senate for a Cabinet post will almost certainly be replaced with a Democrat, but we don't just need Democrats there, we need at least some seasoned, stellar ones. With Inslee that's not a worry.

Big, deep, and permanent.

Pence, go be a televangelist. Then you can shove your religion in other people’s faces and make a shitload of money off the marks who’ll tune in every week.
