Who

Rich fuck in mn. His family makes booze.

Ahh yes, as opposed to the all the other rich fucks on the ballot

Dear Abbys grandson who right after winning had insane volume and daily stock trades managed by some firm. I went to his town hall and tried to ask him to support congress ban on trading and all he did was kis babies and old vets.

Is Biden or Trump gonna ban congress from trading? Which candidate will? I want to vote for that one.

Could change the reporting requirement to 24hrs or something significanly less than 30-45 days. The juicy theories alone would fill all new hours in the 24hr new cycle.

Isnt that the guy from Animal House, putting us all in Double Secret Probation?

Oh, that was Dean Wormer, my bad....

What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...

Did you say this Primary is over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

I know you're joking, but in all seriousness every time I see or hear about this guy, I legitimately have to remind myself who the hell he is.

Yeah, he couldn't crack 10% and in most cases couldn't even hit 5%, regularly losing to "Uncommitted."

Time to go!

I’m pleasantly surprised this jackass actually endorsed Biden.

He looks like a Great Value™ Ron DeSantis.

Aww maaaan I thought something was a bit off with the Ron DeSantis I ordered on Wish…

Which is unfortunately is still a better look than the 80yr old alternatives that couldn’t get hired as a greeter at Walmart, home of the Great Value™

That 80 year old just kicked the living s*** out of him.

What is this, an election for blobfish?

Yes, that horrible jackass. He might have good ideas on paper, but he was a miserable "candidate" whose only potential was to muddy up a shit show, and he couldn't even manage that.

lol it’s all miserable candidates around. Neither front runner (D or R) would get hired to manage a local McDonald's, but are the made choices to manage a ‘major’ country. If Biden can’t easily beat Trump, maybe the problem is the choices being presented and not voters looking for alternative.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota has suspended his campaign for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination, ending his long-shot bid for the White House.

"I'm going to suspend my campaign and I will be, right now, endorsing President Biden because the choices are so clear," he said in a Minnesota radio interview on WCCO’s “The Chad Hartman Show.”

The three-term congressman said he had to run against the leader of his party because he argued Biden would lose to former President Donald Trump in the general election in November.

Speaking to NBC’s “Meet the Press” soon after, Phillips said, “Right now, if this election was held today, President Biden would lose, and it is an existential threat to the future of the United States of America.

His decision to drop out comes after he announced in November that he wouldn’t run for re-election to his House seat representing Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.

In the days leading up to the primary, Phillips spent time campaigning in New Hampshire, including in Nashua on Saturday, where he said Biden shouldn’t be running again — especially because he’s 81 years old.
