Ann Althouse noted Steve Bullock’s departure from the presidential race and asked what will be the order the next candidates drop out in?
Here’s my guess.
Before the primaries:
- Michael Bennet
- Julian Castro
After Iowa:
- John Delaney
- Marianne Williamson
After New Hampshire:
- Deval Patrick
After South Carolina/Nevada:
- Kamala Harris
- Cory Booker
After Super Tuesday:
- Tom Steyer
- Amy Klobuchar
- Andrew Yang
Taking their campaign all the way to the convention floor:
- Joe Biden
- Bernie Sanders
- Pete Buttigieg
- Elizabeth Warren
- Michael Bloomberg
- Tulsi Gabbard
I believe Bloomberg and Gabbard will soldier on despite no hope of winning. There’s a chance Yang takes this route as well. There’s also a chance Castro and Harris stay in until Super Tuesday in hopes of winning home state delegates in Texas and California, but I think they’re already toast. And with Patrick’s campaign essentially stillborn, there’s a chance he packs it up before Iowa as well.

Any other clinically deranged, grotesquely maleficent grunge-buckets such as Michelle Banana or the scrofulous MzBill? Having relentlessly dumbed down, flogged out, two whole generations of quota-baby layabouts, Rats now face a severe dearth of –how you say?– functional adults, defined as halfway decent citizens of ability, character, integrity, whose resumes include competitive private-sector initiatives entailing risk/reward?
Slick Willy fussed and grunted; Benedict Barack Gangrenous simpered through eight years, then Bobbletwot-Wunderschlumpf-MzBill lollygagged her rumpfed-ronyon way to meltdown on Rats’ Conniption Nite some three years back. Whatever tawdry hamster’s next, anything less than an 80% black vote will render will drive its hooting, honking, smoking schlonk-mobile to Swampland Purgatory. May the Farce be with ’em.
