I feel like Joe got Covid and just being ill at this point in time made him throw in the towel. I feel like all hope is lost.

Now I’m getting excited about a Harris presidency, but I feel so bad for Joe. He was a great president, and it just seemed like everything went wrong for him in a short amount of time.

Vote for whomever is selected as the Democratic nominee. Deny Trump his gloating.

Stuff sucks. Stuff always sucks. Do what's best for the future. Every time.

It was ultimately his decision, which we've all said we'd support either way.

Not that my opinion means much, but I'd say she has a 90-95% certainty of being the nominee.

I have no influence in any of it, so I will be voting for every Democrat on my ballot, as always.

I recommend that everyone do the same. I also recommend that everyone encourage everyone they know to do that, too.

Stuff happens that we don't expect. All the time. So, we keep on keeping on, trying to make the best possible choices in any situation.

But just a question I love Kamala, and I will support her. But can you see as her running mate Gavin Newsome??

I am not being insensitive. I have so much respect for Joe.

and will be for a couple more weeks. Nothing much we can do to influence it. So, watch and listen. In the end, there will be a Democrat to vote for for President. Let's all do that.
