Another Dem Bites the Dust..........
Beto O'Rourke has announced to a crowd of supporters that he's officially dropped out of the 2020 Democrat Primary for President. That makes nine Democrat candidates who've dissolved their campaigns so far.
O'Rourke started off strong, but lost stamina and fund-raising ability shortly thereafter, despite taking one of the most aggressive stands on gun control and climate change during the latter weeks of his campaign.
While the DNC is reportedly urging him to run for Senate again (he was narrowly beaten by incumbent Ted Cruz in 2018), O'Rourke says he's not planning to run for anything at this time.
Trump predictably told a rally crowd last night that Beto "quit like a dog".
So, now there are 17 Democrat hopefuls still in the race at about 100 days out of the first primary vote in New Hampshire.
