The 2020 Democratic candidate field was extremely crowded….at one point there were at least 20 proclaimed…..slowly but slowly the field has been growing smaller….so far 6 candidates have decided to drop out of the race for the nomination….and as of yesterday the field has become a bit smaller…..
Rep. Tim Ryan has called it quits…..
The Democratic field went down by one Thursday, when Rep. Tim Ryan announced he is exiting the 2020 presidential race. “After seven long months of hard work I will be returning home to my family and friends and community in Ohio to run for re-election for my congressional seat,” he said in a video. CNN notes that his campaign had “failed to gain any traction” among the crowded field of contenders; he raised just $425,000 in the third quarter of this year and did not qualify for the September or October debate. Speaking of debates, however, Thursday brought good news for another 2020 candidate: Sen. Amy Klobuchar became the ninth candidate to qualify for the next debate, to be held Nov. 20, FiveThirtyEight reports
THis is what happens when you as a candidate gets NO traction with donors or voters…..you go back to what you were doing before you started this ego trip.
As per IST tradition….we will let Queen show the candidate the stage door….exit stage right…..

I think in the end the last two standing will be Warren and Biden. I wish there was someone who could truly excite and bring together Democrats and Independents. Biden has too much baggage and I like Warren, but she’s seen by many as being too far left.
From a European perspective, even thinking Warren is ‘Far Left’ is just laughable. 🙂
The Democrats are a right-wing party with something of a conscience. The Republicans are a right-wing party without a conscience. There is no Far Left to speak of in the US any longer.
Just my ‘outsider’ observations.
Best wishes, Pete.
Oh my God! That’s brilliant Pete!
Pete always has the best observations…..chuq
I totally agree, Pete! And i am wondering about our German system, and how long it will work for the future. Michael
