    Another of the Democratic horde has dropped out

    Kamala Harris has dropped out today. I guess she had her moment in the sun

    I think that is two in two days. They see Bloomberg getting to invade their party.

    I must have been dosing

    In less than 48 hours over Sunday evening and Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Kamala Harris, once considered among the top tier of candidates, former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock all dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination. They likely won't be the last before the first votes are even counted.

    Just what we need a virtual assurance that either way we will have a billionaire in the White House in 2020. Sad state of affairs we find ourselves in, but we have done it to ourselves discouraging good candidates by our appetite to take apart a persons background from birth to present in search of perfection. Ask yourself, would you ever want to be in the position Trump is in. Would you? No decent person would want the damn job.

    Well they both are rich, so during debates they just throw $100 bills at each other.

    Kamala is most likely out of sufficient donor appeal and is backing off hoping the Democrat nominee needs a skank on the ticket as a VP choice.

    The barrage of TV ads on DC TV would indicate that Bloomberg is in.. a player..

    "Skank
    Derogatory term for a (usually younger) female, implying trashiness or tackiness, lower-class status, poor hygiene, flakiness, and a scrawny, pockmarked sort of ugliness. May also imply promiscuity, but not necessarily. Can apply to any race, but most commonly used to describe white trash." Hmmm.. learned something.. I am not a Palin fan but, I don't believe this term applies to her..

    I saw Bloomberg ads for the first time last night. They were well done and will convince a lot of folks to vote for him. Damn!

    Kamala slept her way to the top literally under California power, Willie Brown. That is the definition of a skank.

    My bad.. I misread the original post as a female Vice President candidate.. and don’t believe that the term applies to either of our past candidates.

    And I just learned exponentially more about Kamila than I needed to ever know.. I had already removed her from my “contenders “ list..
