but I'd like to hear more from De Blasio too. I know many think he's a pushy loudmouth (he is a New Yorker, comes with the territory), but I think he could hold his own against trump. And New Yorkers know trump well and have a real disdain for him—a good thing.

If you have less than 5% in the average of polls right now, it's time to get out of the race, because you ain't gonna make up the difference, no matter what you do. It's already too late for that.

If you have between 5% and 10%, you can stick it out for one more debate and see if you can get traction, but if you don't, withdraw and run for Senate or something, because you're not going to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

Frankly, this is a hugely important election coming up, and there are too damned many primary candidates. That's keeping any of them from getting enough attention in the media.

So, if you're going to lose, no matter what, get out and run for something else. There's no time for fiddling around with a presidential run.

That's what I think.

Pretty sure we'll see that happen.

Donate to your local 2019 state/municipal candidates, especially those working to flip the Virginia legislature.
