Preface

The second installment of a recap of my blog posts and podcast shows of Donald Trump unleashed for the past two years on the campaign trail. Some of the antics recounted in these pages seem like they are from scenes of a movie, but unfortunately, they are so bizarre, I couldn’t make them up. Here I will share the articles and topics discussed as well as give insights as to what I thought when I wrote or recorded this content.

Podcast Episode 74 – Who’s left in the Democratic Primary Race?

Believe it or not, the field is still wide. At one point, we had twenty-six candidates. Today, we have twenty and falling. Only ten qualified to be on stage at the September debate. There are still five months left before Americans begin casting ballots of who will be the Democratic nominee to run against President Donald J. Trump. According to a few pundits, he might not even run for another term. I don’t believe that and neither should you. It’s a fake out. I’m not saying fake news, I am saying fake out. The media is giving the general public a false sense of hope based on the people who claim to know Trump well. Please, I don’t think anyone knows Trump well. He’s like a shape shifter. He conforms when and where necessary to fit a narrative that he controls. I have seen where a few brave Republicans want to run against him in the primary, but no one is getting any real traction in that area. Recently a town hall on climate change with the same ten candidates who were on the debate stage this past Thursday. Here are the candidates who remain in the hunt, Joe Biden who is a former two-term Vice President of the United States of America. Amy Klobuchar is a Senator representing Minnesota. Bernie Sanders is a Senator representing Vermont. Elizabeth Warren is a Senator representing Massachusetts. Kamala Harris is a Senator representing California. Corey Booker is a Senator representing New Jersey. Pete Buttigieg is a Mayor representing South Bend, Indiana. Beto O’Rourke is a former Congressman representing the state of Texas. Andrew Yang is a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur representing New York, and Julian Castro is a former cabinet member of the Obama Presidency representing Texas.

I watched the debate. Actually, I have been watching since the debates started back in June. This is the third one. The field seems to pare down after each one. Mind you, there are ten other candidates, many of whom haven’t been on stage once since they announced their bid to run in the race. They are the true meaning of keep hope alive. If none of the not worth mentioning group makes it to the October debate stage, they really need to give it up. Now let’s talk about who did what among the ten I mentioned before the break. The third Democratic Primary debate was held on the campus of Texas Southern University. Out of the gate, the entrepreneur Andrew Yang asks all of America to enter a contest to win $1000 a month for a year to test the theory he has been talking about for the last two years that a living dividend can only make your life better. Hell, I am not going to lie to you. I went to his campaign website Andrew Yang 2020 and entered my damn self. He said ten families can win this opportunity with no strings
