       Location: Montana | Our Governor is running...I'd actually vote for him, he has been pretty good for our state although I would prefer our previous governor (Schweitzer) run...he was even better. I have no beef between Republican or Democrat...just whoever is the best candidate and will do best in the job. |

| What I think is funny, is that Harris is upset about the talk of her being the VP to Biden. She just doesn't want to be the token "blackish" woman. But she would surely use others to get votes. |

Stacy Abrams was equally annoyed when Beto said he would likely choose her as his running mate. She said she didn't have any intention of running for second place. She's the one still whining her off because she believes she was cheated out of a governor's seat. Stacy and Hillary have a lot in common.

There were 17. It made the debates very awkward as the more prominent ones were fed the questions while the rest were lucky to get to field a question now and then. |

        Location: Kansas | I watched Biden speaking to reporters the other day and was appalled at how difficult it was for him to put a coherent sentence together. Life becomes more difficult as you get older and that's not his fault but he needs to relax on the beach instead of hitting the campaign trail. He was never very good at what he does and has a lot of history that's going to plague him as he tries. |

First Old uncle Joe will have to over come 40 plus years of his record and not put his foot in his mouth at the debates. Highly premature to think that he will get the nomination. But if he does I look forward to the race for president it will be highly intertaining. Since the best that Uncle Joe ever did in his two other runs for President was 6% of the vote. I can't see how he will come colse to HRC in the vote count. But that meant nothing in 2016 did it. |

It will be Joe. And you're right, the popular vote didn't mean anything in 2016. Or 2000. Biden would have beaten Trump in 2016. Almost anyone besides Hillary would have. It was a huge mistake to have Hillary as our candidate. When the dem dust setles this time it will be Biden left standing. |

Just go ahead and count me as the second GOP person to think that 16 was absolutely nuts! The debates were a nightmare; first vs. second tier, interrupting each other to find their spot/niche with suporters, etc.. It really never should have happened. 23 (or 24) will be a big circus. Most of them are so FAR Left that Biden might prevail. But the biggest voting block (Mellenials) WANT way far Left and Socialism...even if they have absolutely no clue what THAT society at actually means or entails. We will see how Biden does in an unscripted debate and how he overcomes his 40 year record and being Obama 2.0. |

A LOT of us GOP people didn’t like it last time on the GOP side, but the Dems sure found it amusing. They just did NOT think Trump had a chance at all. They thought for sure they would be running against Jeb. Again, have fun during the Primaries with all the bickering/whining that they (lower tier candidates) aren’t being treated fairly. It was stupid when the GOP did it and the Dems have more candidates now and are also stupid for doing it. they would be running against Jeb.

I thought most not all but most of the Democrats where hard working Americans like Republicans that work hard for their familys and want the best for their children, why the Socialism? Do you people {dems} not know what this will do to America and your familys? Are you {Dems} willing to give up everything that you have worked for all your life, well I'm not and I know all the Republicans that I know are not willing to hand off all their life times of hard work over to the Dems, what about the men and women that have fought and lost lives for America, and the ones that are still fighting to keep us free? Look at what happen to Venvezvela.. Trump is fighting for us and most of the Repulicans with some Democrats are fighting along with him to keep our freedom.. |

          Location: Bastrop, Texas | Poor old Joe is slowly slipping away. The poor bastard has some sort of neurological disorder...either early dementia or cerebrovascular disease or something. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but something is definitely off kilter with him. His speech is garbled and slurred. His sentences are often unintelligible. He gets names, dates, and basic facts mixed up. One of my recent favorites is when he claimed that Margaret Thatcher made some negative remark to him in a personal conversation about President Trump. It was “Hillaryesque” except Hillary was a congenital liar and Joe is just lame. Maggie Thatcher died 4 years before Trump became president. He tries to hide his stupidity with folksy colloquialisms but I think it just makes him seem even more stupid. I like the time he asked his “old friend” to stand and be recognized, but the guy couldn’t because he was wheel chair bound for life. He’s a living cornucopia of gaffes like that. Joe is going to be challenged to reconcile his past positions on issues with the popular views of his Democrat base. Joe has a track record that will haunt him incessantly. I honestly highly doubt Biden will win the nomination, regardless of what the polls and pundits are suggesting. I don’t see Democrats nominating an old creepy white man with a rich racist, sexist past. I also think Trump would love to run against him more than anyone of the declared candidates.

He's got some legal issues concerning why he blackmailed the Ukrainians to stop an investigation into his son Hunter being named to the board of an energy company in Ukraine and receiving millions of dollars to his company from the Ukrainians. He had the AG of Ukraine at the time fired. He demanded it. The Ukraines did this to grease the wheels of a billion dollar loan from the U. S. to Ukraine that Biden threatened to withhold. Biden admits he did this on video while speaking to a group. Hunter Biden also got millions in a deal with China greased by Joe Biden. If the dems don't care about this type of behavior that's on them. I think it's corrupt and pay for play just like we know Killary did. They are all going down. |

       Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | "The other case raised at the January 2016 meeting, Telizhenko said, involved Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company under investigation in Ukraine for improper foreign transfers of money. At the time, Burisma allegedly was paying then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter as both a board member and a consultant. More than $3 million flowed from Ukraine to an American firm tied to Hunter Biden in 2014-15, bank records show. According to Telizhenko, U.S. officials told the Ukrainians they would prefer that Kiev drop the Burisma probe and allow the FBI to take it over. The Ukrainians did not agree. But then Joe Biden pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire Ukraine’s chief prosecutor in March 2016, as I previously reported. The Burisma case was transferred to NABU, then shut down." https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/440730-how-the-obama-white-house-engaged-ukraine-to-give-russia-collusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FszD7MO_fmQ His own words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PALJAC72GA Giuliani and Hanity talking about it. |

Well, yes, there’s that too. I don’t want to lay everything out all at once. Gotta keep the big ammo in reserve, in case someone is nuts enough to try defending him. |

I filed that right under " basket ofdeplorables." These Dems really know how to win friends and influence people.
