I'm already anxious for the Dems to narrow the field.

Bernie seems like the biggest threat to preventing the Dems from taking the WH, but Warren talking about reparations might challenge Bernie there.

I frequently have to mute the volume or change the channel when Trump speaks; Warren has the same effect.

Bernie's going to be in it til the end, sucking the air from the room and ruining opportunities for Harris, Biden, Beto, or Klobuchar.

Mayor Pete is remarkable - I wish America was ready for him.

I'd love to see a Warren/Pete or a Harris/Pete ticket.

I'm a fan of Mayor Pete and am glad he will get on the debate stage. He needs exposure.

Only caught part of the story about even more entrants into the race. It was not Biden. Who is next up?

Trumps regular festivus airing of grievances has no effect on anything. Right.


To be completely fair, she has a point about Meghan.

There is a report (CNN maybe) that Bernie is losing steam in a poll. This early that likely does not matter with him sitting on $6M.

If any Chester County Dems are planning to vote in the primary in may I would encourage you to vote for Kathi Cozzone and Marian Moskowitz for Commissioner. The party endorsed Josh Maxwell, which is silly.

Also, Fredda Maddox was a Republican as recently as December. I do not know if Joe Lunsford is going to be on the ballot still, but I would encourage you to vote for him over her.

In Berks for Commissioner the two good options are Mike Morril and Jesse Royer.

For mayor we have a lady who is running as a Dem that switched from Republican at the end of 2017 and yet many county-wide Dems are supporting her

Trump at Joint Systems Manufacturing Center, AKA the Lima Army Tank Plant (LATP), and is denigrating McCain some more. Said he gave him the funereal he wanted, and didn't get a thank you. Claims the press is behind him bringing up McCain.

Just gross.

county parties suck pretty hard.

the committee people show up to these endorsement conventions and basically have very little idea on who to vote for. yet they vote and then insist that those not endorsed drop out.
