Well said. I especially hate the ones who were career politicians for over thirty years blaming Trump for everything. Biden, Warren, and Sanders have been making policy for a very long time. Trump doesn't even have three years in.

Glad there are no rich white mates on the democrat Presidential contest.
Billionaire Democrats Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg have spent a combined $200 million on the 2020 Democratic presidential primary — though neither seems to have much to show for it but a slew of advertisements.
The left-wing mega-donor, who made a fortune in fossil fuel investments before becoming a climate change activist, and the former New York City mayor both jumped into the race long after it started, after initially declining to run.
"I think that Gabbard sees the disaster that lies ahead for her party and is positioning herself as a person who can lead the it in a new direction. She is emphatically denouncing Trump, so can’t be accused of being soft on him. Instead she is criticizing the tactic of employing impeachment as a political weapon, setting herself up as a wise tactician to lead the party forward after the predictable disaster.
So far, Gabbard is the sole Democrat politician that I know of who is looking beyond the consuming fury of Trump Derangement with her eye on the future of her party beyond the next 10 months.
While I credit her for this, it is not blinding wisdom, but merely common sense. That she is unique in her party says a lot."
Julian Castro has ended his campaign for the democrat presidential nomination. He will best be known for introducing the concept of males having abortions and the government paying for them.

That one was the best. I wonder if he really thought about that one or just figured any kind of pandering to the trans community would be helpful, even if it was idiotic.
There was some speculation than Bloomberg only joined the race so he could buy ads at the cheapest race. He mainly attacks Trump instead of his Democrat opponents.
Castro is now out. And Marianne Williamson has laid off her campaign staff. Iowa isn't very far away.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
DENVER -- Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has hired six staffers, including a state director, to run his Colorado operation.
Bloomberg has been focusing on Super Tuesday states during his presidential run. Colorado is a Super Tuesday state.
Bloomberg is on pace to spend $400 million before Super Tuesday. Bloomberg's hires makes his presidential operation one of the biggest in the state.
Hopefully a significant proportion of that money will be spent in Colorado.
"She outlasted Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) by 38 days and Beto O’Rourke by 70 — but Marianne Williamson still didn’t even make it to the Iowa caucus before reality got the best of her.
So ends this cycle’s zaniest presidential run. Williamson explained in a note to her supporters on Friday (posted beneath a blurry picture of herself) that she is “suspending” her campaign so as not to get “in the way of a progressive candidate winning” Iowa or the New Hampshire primaries.

Another one bites the dust. So much for diversity in the democrat race for the candidacy.
Far more important than diversity is having candidates of quality, who importantly, don't have ridiculous, out-of-touch beliefs. Good riddance to an anti-vaxxer.
Now if we can just get the MSM to do their jobs and start vetting Sanders, cuz he's got issues that should keep him from getting anywhere near the Democratic nomination stage.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
