And then there was one, but perhaps not quite. Comrade Bernie bites the dust because he couldn't motivate anyone besides his clatch of useful idiots to back his campaign, and it turns out that not many of those dolts actually vote. So left standing, or is it tottering, is ol' Uncle Joe the existential Bumblebrain of the Democratic Party. The reason I am not closing out this Dropout Derby today is that methinks the DNC has something up its sleeve - you do recall that to those masterminds our primaries don't mean a thing if it doesn't deliver the swing to their preferred candidate? And there stands in the wings Gov Andy of Albany, dutifully denying that he has any interest in the presidency, which of course is his consuming interest. The good governor, along with President Trump, are both using their 'leadership on parade' in this C19 crisis as the perfect platform from which to campaign during this extended period of social distancing and online politicking about who didn't do what when. This will be an historical presidential campaign in ways that we have yet to count. In any case, this derby will end when the Dems choose their champion for November, and not a day before. (The astute reader will recognize that this delay makes no never mind, since either way Bumblebrain will be the last to 'drop out' of the race.)
Oh course Crazy Bernie would suspend his campaign. With millions losing jobs and people ordered to stay inside their homes, Bernie has already accomplished his goals. Why tempt fate?

Can't help but notice that even in a weak field Walt and Todd are vying for last place with their prognosticating :)

While rather more skeptical of polls than a certain someone it looks like the party of Gwyneth Paltrows Goop customers and President 57 states may be getting ready to shiv the GaffeMaster.
Looking forward to seeing kindly old hair sniffing Grandpa Gropey sent off to the glue factory so they can install the capo di tutti capi from New York!

What in the heck was the point of that post?
How come your pictures make you look like a middle-aged lesbian?

Then you must have surely noticed that Todd did not bother to enter any Dem candidate for #24, #25, #26 and thus received zero points on his score. Same for the most welcomed and appreciated Mr. Fish. Walt? A man of truth, Walt has already offered to sell his dartboard as like new....weeks ago.
Enjoy your months In Wisconsin this summer.

Like many a foot race I've run.....started strong....faded towards the end!

What, Todd was not a Mike Gravel fan! Too bad Lyndon LaRouche is dead; if he had run we might have been able to convert Todd to the Democratic Party.
No Wisconsin for me this summer. Too much to do here.

Suck it up, buttercup. The agony of defeat is yours to carry.

That was a quick flameout. Besides, he was on the wrong side of the Russian Collusion Delusion.
