12. And in only four minutes, too! I'm impressed.

Except... the only thing is... four minutes is hardly enough time for others to respond to the challenge, but... whatever. I can only imagine how eager you might have been to show us your knowledge.

But, looking at that list, I think it would have been helpful to put a little "*" asterisk next to the names of those you've had dinner or cocktails with. Also, add a "+" sign next to the names of those who seek your advice for their campaigns.

I think it's very important for people to remember and admire how well-connected you are. No need to hint and name-drop in drips and drabs. Honestly, we practically need a program/scorecard to keep up with all the important folks you know.

I have to tell ya, it certainly is impressive all these famous people that you meet and rub-elbows with. I and my friends are always very excited and interested to find out who the next one will be.

You totally rock. What a great life you have! So interesting. I'm very jealous.

19. Don't expect to see any "+" signs.

No one is contacting brooklynite for advice. Just $$$.
He's no James Carville.

21. I would be even more impressed if he remembered what each of them had for dinner.

6. We often hear the phrase "an embarrassment...

...of riches.” Then, there’s just embarrassment.

[PoliticAverse]

7. Some apparently are...

as Balllotpedia points out "Some applicants use pseudonyms".

[TwilightZone]

15. There are similar numbers every election cycle.

We just don't hear about many other than the major ones.

[3catwoman3]

4. I can't. Easier to name those I'd like to see stay in.

Biden
Booker
Buttigieg
Castro
Harris
Inslee
Klobuchar
O’Rourke
Swalwell
Warren

(Alphabetical order, not order of personal preference)

8. That's information overload.

In 2016 I voted for the Democratic nominee. She won. I expect to do the same with the same result in 2020 and woe be to corrupt influences.

[CaptainTruth]

9. I'll bet no one can name all 236 Democratic candidates who have filed to run for president.

Per Ballotpedia, as of April 29, 2019, there are 700 candidates who filed to run, including:

236 Democratic candidates
87 Republican candidates
25 Libertarian candidates
14 Green candidates

I'm keeping my eye on "Kanye Deez Nutz West" with the Green Party.

By the time I memorize the last few, I have forgotten the first few.
