So, after South Carolina on Saturday and before Super Tuesday tomorrow, Steyer, Mayor Pete and Klobuchar all dropped out.
Steyer, I could care less about, because someone who decides they're going to run for president just because they're rich is no reason to run for president. Buy Mayor Pete and Klobuchar were my two favorites choices, and I'm sad to see them go.
However, I think it was the best move for them, for the party, for the country, and that they both knew it.
Unlike the 2016 Republican primary when candidates fought it out way to long and refused to let the majority of the party coalesce around a centrist non-tRump (impeached) candidate, the sane Democratic candidates this year, who knew they only had a longshot at best, are dropping out and allowing the party to coalesce around a centrist anti-Bernie candidate.
Bernie being the candidate, while getting my November vote over tRump (impeached), would ensure the orange narcissistic anal fistula would get reelected. (Don't get me wrong I think that's going to happen anyway because of the Russians hacking into everything everywhere, but Bernie would lead us to a loss of Mondale 84, McGovern 72 or Goldwater 64 proportions).
I'm not surprised Bloomberg is staying in, cause he's got an ego that equals his wealth, and I'm a bit surprised Warren hasn't dropped out yet, but I think she pulls support equally from Bernie and Biden, so that's not such a negative overall.
But whatever happens, it appears the election's going to be between two old straight white men in the 70s....which is so very very unfortunate.
