Ramblin' Men

After the most recent (D) debate on Thursday, the conventional wisdom among mainstream newspapers like the L.A. Times is that the (D) race has been narrowed down to Biden, Bernie, and Liz Warren. If that's true, I'm not optimistic about the results of the 2020 election. Don't even get me started on Bernie, who isn't even a goddamned (D) in the first place. He and Biden are Death Wish 1a and Death Wish 1b for the party, and I can't see why either one is top-tier, based on what we know about their failures in previous presidential campaigns. There's an article in Salon today that sums up the problem I have with Nice Guy Joe.

Too many people who may be voting next year are apparently getting carried away with Biden's momentum (based mostly on name recognition as a two-term VP), and polls showing he'd stomp Donny Disaster if the election was today (it's not). There may still be enough time before primary voting begins for (D)s to reevaluate their options.
