Well, Deval Patrick is comparatively young at 63.

He, along with billionaires Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg, is a later entry for the 2020 presidential race under the Democrat ticket. He launched his campaign two weeks ago.
Patrick, the former governor of Massachusetts (succeeding Mitt Romney) and a civil rights lawyer in Chicago, was reportedly urged to run by Obama back in 2017, but decided against joining the crowded field of candidates. He's more of a centrist than most of the other candidates.
Patrick did some good things in Massachusetts in terms of health care and wages, plus he's a quiet but gifted speaker, in my opinion. I haven't seen him gaining much traction so far.

If your little Biden gets cranky just rub some whiskey on his gums.

Why did he do that to Dr. Biden?
A lot of people love Uncle Joe and many find him to be relatable. He has kindness & empathy and he's a calming presence. That holds a lot of appeal to people these days.

California Senator Kamala Harris has officially dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, as has Montana Governor Steve Bullock.

Harris essentially ran out of money and didn't see a path to the nomination, according to her announcement. https://medium.com/@KamalaHarris/i-am-su...ca8cefb252
Bullock, a Democrat who was elected governor in a Republican-majority state, just couldn't get traction with voters and failed to qualify for the last debate. Too bad, I liked what little I heard from him.

Team Bernie filled up my answering machine last week with 'Bernie needs your support' robocalls. Bernie doesn't need support, he needs to retire, fade away, or otherwise disappear. Why do we have a minimum age requirement for president, but not a maximum age limit when they take office?

He's also bitter, his health care fiasco in Vermont never worked out and I can't think of any other thing he has touched has ever worked yet, young people like him like some sort of Santa Clause or rich Grandfather that will give them all they need to not have to actually work. I have listened to the Dem candidates and it's all about giving away free stuff. They are unrealistic yet people still believe them. If this impeachment scheme doesn't work they only have Trumps taxes to attack him with.
They are running out of things to attack him for and are running a bit scared. They may even lose the house over the impeachment thing as 38 of the Democrats are up for re-election in red areas. Time will tell but I think they have gone over the wall with it this time.
That's just my opinion though.

Another republican is retiring at the end of his term. So long, Ted Yoho, don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Full disclosure, apparently at the beginning of his term he said he was only going to stay for a specific amount of time. I don't care why he leaves, only that he leaves.

Don't worry, there are plenty that will replace him and a bunch of others this time around. Thank you silly impeachment circus.

He doesn't care. I saw a headline claiming that Republicans trust Trump over Jesus Christ. It's a cult.

I'm not religious either but Christian Evangelicals are huge supporters of Trump so that kind of fucks up your cute little comeback.

He has done more for this country than the last 3 Presidents. I'm just sorry that there are people out there with blinders on that only listen to their handlers. Oh well it doesn't mean that I don't like you. It only means that we see things through different lenses and that is the difference.

I would say that every President should have been impeached with the criteria used on Trump. This is the last ditch effort to get him out of the election cycle. There is nobody that can beat him, get over it and get out of the way. Take off the blinders.
The country is much better today than 3 years ago despite all the foot stomping and ear plugging. Let the hatred go,

Well that's not very nice or accurate. Think for yourself not what the bandwagon says. Trumps not perfect but he wasn't elected to be. For years everyone said the government is corrupt, this is what happens when it starts getting cleaned up. Plenty of friction and things don't happen overnight no matter how much you want it to. This fast food world has no patience.
Look at the immigration mess. Now they have housing to process them and money to vet them. The numbers are down and Mexico agrees. Look at China and the fact that they are now coming to the table negotiating trade agreements. Government waste is down, employment is way down.
I can hear it now that more people are off food stamps because Trump has got many to go back to work. He is so evil.
You fucks don't even acknowledge it you're so blind with hate over his stupid tweets. Oh well be careful what you wish for another Jimmy Carter is right around the corner. He makes a better ambassador than a President. I know I lived through his gas lines and cheap cars and turn the thermostats down to 68 deg.
I don't care if you don't like him I would just like people to stop following the narrative being spoon fed to you with a plastic spoon.
