I do hope we will not have our own "clowns car"

The Republicans will throw back at us everything that we said about them two years ago.

Granted, many wannabe know that they have no chance in winning. They just want their names in the news with the hope that if we do take the White House, they will get an office there.

2020 is going to bring out a long list of people who "declare their candidacy" for President. The hat's going to be full of names.

I guarantee it.

but the fact that they all let Donald treat them like shit. The dems won't have a shit show like that & it will be good to get as many dem names & faces in the public eye as possible.

For sure, Trump was effective at exposing them, but they were
already clowns.
