23. My Dem Club has issued its endorsement. Most already have.

It is now clear there are two top Dem candidates who have garnered the majority of endorsements: Harley Rouda and Hans Keirstead. Hopefully the other 6 will drop out in the next couple weeks as it becomes obvious they have no chance. They know having 8 Dems on the ballot is suicide. What is making me nervous is none have dropped out yet, even though it has been obvious who the frontrunners are for weeks, if not months.

Is there anything being done to address this ? Perhaps one way is for big Dem donors to pour a lot OnDoutside Feb 2018 #17

Dem groups are having candidate forums, issuing endorsements. SunSeeker Feb 2018 #19
