12. It's Just Ridiculous That We Still Have People Seriously Talking About Getting in the Race

When you have such a large field it's easier I guess for everyone to think they're better than 4 or 5 of the folks running so, why not? After all the Mayor of a small college town is getting some serious play in IA and NH. That's further proof to me that IA and NH should not start the Dem nomination process. If the nomination cycle started in NC or SC the world probably wouldn't even know who Mayor Pete was. But in NH and IA he's a top tier candidate.

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