Think after tonight we'll get down to 8 viable and 4 interesting candidates

Saw at least 3 solid ones last night with 2 or 3 that could hang around in the mix. Expect a similar result tonight.

Not saying anyone should just drop out, but the support for the hangers-on will dry up quickly without a deep pocketed true believer.

BTW - left it deliberately vague because we all see different angles when a large group is lined up.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

If he doesn't get the nomination I know he is going to be a major player for us moving forward.

I thought he was done after the shooting. California Peggy says it is his baptism by fire. We will see.

He is so intelligent and compassionate. It would be an enormous waste not to use his talents somehow.

We are going to be spending all of our money in the primaries and before instead of on the general beating the orange toad.
