2. But of course the fools who report for MSNBC didn't see fit to let us actually hear Chasten

I had to go to CNN which at least covered some of what he said. And they have the nerve to lecture the candidates about being ego maniacal.

3. we just watched Chasten speak on MSNBC (and I teared up, I will admit, lol wifey is now giving me

the business)

4. they must have switched to him just after I gave up on them

doing so.

5. This is such a shame that he had to go first

Well, Steyer was first, but he was going nowhere. Pete had, against all odds, won most delegates in Iowa, came within a point of winning New Hampshire, and yes, failed in South Carolina. And yet he still did better than Warren or Klobuchar there.

I liked him best. I expect to hear from him again, and often.

6. 23 dropped out before Pete (6 of the 30 are left, and Gabbard barely registers and Klobuchar is only

still in to block Bernie in MN, then she is out, as she is dead last in almost all states not named Minnesota (other than the pointless Gabbard) of the ones left who ran in SC.

7. First among what turned out to be viable contenders

Sherrod never declared to my recollection. I would have liked him to.

8. He formed an exploratory organisation and went on a tour. He then said no. He was listed as a choice

on DU (you can see it here, in the 'Out' category at the bottom) >>> https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=candidates


Sherrod Brown will not run for president in 2020

The Ohio senator just completed a tour of early 2020 states as he contemplated a campaign.

9. Exploratory committee is not same as declaring candidacy

It just means he thought about it and decided not to run

[Celerity]

10. Other than getting the field to 30, it really doesn't matter much. You can remove Brown if that is

what you want to do.

[frazzled]

11. Jeez, what's the problem?

First candidate to win delegates and progress in the race drops out. Do you have a problem with that?

[Celerity]

12. What are you talking about?

Talk about a misreading of my posts, sheeeesh.

13. The world is in a better place with men like Mayor Pete. I wish him well and I am sure we will

see him again.

14. I just read a message on my FB from

my sister in Florida.. she said. "My guy dropped out tonight"..

I told her how we were honoring Pete for being such a true patriot on our Democratic Underground board. Also told her he was the smartest one in the room.
