Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Deval Patrick is reportedly dropping out of a race people forgot he was in
https://theweek.com/speedreads/895362/deval-patrick-reportedly-dropping-race-people-forgotFormer Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick will likely drop out of the Democratic presidential race on Wednesday, a person familiar with the matter told CBS News on Tuesday night.
Patrick is expected to announce his decision in an email to supporters. He joined the race late, entering the fray in November, and did not gain any traction. Patrick received little support in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary; with 77 percent of precincts reporting, he has 0.4 percent of the vote.

...hear him speak, it was like listening to nails on a blackboard. I found his voice so excruciating in its decibels and tone that I couldnt even listen and would turn the channel or station if I heard it. Both my kids and several friends said that they had similar reactions and I wonder if others had a similar reaction.
Words and actions matter, but when the voice delivering it is painful to listen to, it doesnt work even when words being said are great. Only voice as irritating to me or more is IMPotus.
