20 Candidates ? Democrats Need To Choose




Twenty candidates?
Are you kidding me?  This race is to save the Country, to save our Democracy from an authoritarian President bent on consolidating more and more power to himself and his co-conspirators, grifters and racists. Democrats must stop fucking around and get serious. We must defeat Trump in 2020.

With so many left and left center Democrats in the field , no one can stand out with anything but name recognition. The American public has no patience for 20 platforms and dozens of new ideas. Well, maybe Mayor Pete, but who else?

The People need to be focused on One Message. We have great women running, with great policy ideas,  but they are way behind in the Polls. Early Polls yes, but we would think differently if Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren were polling  20% in these early polls, wouldn't we now ? They are not. It's VP Biden and Sen. Bernie out in front, and one of them isn't even a Democrat. I like Bernie,  and he has made a huge difference in exposing important issues, but why the Democratic Party lets him run for their Party's nomination is beyond me. Shouldn't he have to be a Democrat to be their nominee? At least join the Party if you want to run as a Democrat.

So now what? 

Without disparagement, if you are not in the first round of debates, please drop out and let the stronger candidates get strong enough to beat Trump.

If you are Gov. Hickenlooper run for the Senate and beat Cory Gardner-Trump.

If you are Beto O'Roarke run against Sen. John Cornyn-Trump.

Help us beat Mitch McConnell and take away his obstructionist gavel.

 If you are Stacey Abrams run against Sen. Perdue-Trump.

There are also vulnerable Senate races in Montana, Kentucky and elsewhere. Let's take back the Senate, or taking the White House will be insufficient to get change through both Houses of Congress. McConnell will stonewall us to death and win again.
