1. Good. And guess what? It won't have any effect on the primary races

whatsoever. There are several candidates who are still "officially" in the race who have zero impact on that race. All of them should withdraw. It's time to narrow down the field.

2. What a surprise!

said no one.

3. Who is surprised by this?

9. I am, slightly.

As an unconventional candidate (with no real hope of winning) she could have "stayed in the race" w/o spending resources as a way to raise her profile, speak her mind,
and to appear on web broadcasts, etc.

5. I know people will make fun of her, but I thought she made important

contributions to the discourse in the primary.

She did the best job articulating the existential threat of Trump to our society. I haven't seen the other candidates do a job as good as her for that particular message point.

I didn't know that much about her before she began her campaign. I learned that she has led a wonderfully compassionate life, and it was refreshing to see someone like her in the race. It demonstrated the range of ideas and views we have as a party.

6. That confirms the analysis posted yesterday:

7. This means that 0.5% of Democratic voters will have to scramble for a new candidate.

10. I liked her talking points, I hope she stays in the fight and backs whomever wins the nomination. nt

11. You all just watch, this is all part of a plan we simply can't understand

She’s going realign the nation’s chakras and *POOF* nomination and then a sage scented Presidency
