And So, They Fall
There is another dropout among Democratic candidates for President -- Jay Inslee. That makes three with many more to come. It is a sign of hubris for so many to be in the race. They should have known the chances of rising to the top were slim at best. Yet, they launched political marketing organizations and spent millions -- all for naught. They all seem to have had the same idea -- oust Trump, who is becoming more vulnerable daily -- yet the political calculations were against them, if not mathematical ones. It takes ground-level organization to win the nomination for President -- and that's expensive. Candidates have been able to tap into small-dollar donations but there is a limit there too in how much people will give. Look for a dozen or more to give up by early next year. Once the primaries start, the public will have its say, and there will be no where for candidates to turn.
