Harris has been “building a network for black candidates”:

Bernie was the only Senator to endorse Gillum in the primary. I guess he just wasn't the right type of black for Harris. Harris endorsed white Buffy Wicks over black Hispanic lesbian immigrant Jovanka Beckles. You only hear about identity politics when it benefits the establishment candidate.

Throwing poor parents in prison(who's children are likely staying home because they have to take care of their family or some situation like that, it's not "OH I DONT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL" It's usually more complicated then that) is unacceptable and cruel. That's why I'm supporting her, and no, I'm not delusionally obsessed with hating her the way Peter Daou, Neera Tanden have a deranged hatred of Sanders, so don't even start with your apples to oranges comparison!!!!! I don't support her, because she doesn't share my values! The end!

Biden confirmed a few days ago that any campaign launch from him wouldn’t happen until the second quarter of this year, meaning April:

He said he was in “the final stages” of deciding. And in a brief interview after the event, Mr. Biden said that, if he ran, he would begin his campaign in the second quarter of this year, which could mean as early as April.

Apparently when Bennet was in Iowa last week, he said that he was “leaning toward” running:

Oh come on Bennet!! I love the variety of choices but some of these guys have no chance!

God Swalwell is delusional. Does he think he has any ability to win a national office after the whole nuke thing?

Former Vice President Joe Biden reached out to at least a half-dozen supporters Tuesday to tell them he intends to run for president and to ask for their help in lining up contributions from major donors so he can quickly raise several million dollars, said a person familiar with the matter.

Biden has expressed concern to these people that he wouldn’t be able to raise millions of dollars in online donations immediately the way some other Democratic candidates have, including former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, this person said. O’Rourke raised $6.1 million in the 24 hours after his announcement, while Sanders collected $5.9 million in the same period.

Biden wants to announce a large fundraising number after his candidacy is official to better compete in what is often dubbed the “money primary” that kicks off a presidential season.

Pathetic. The people don't want you. Once thing gets into full swing he's going down.

I hope your right
