Mayor Pete is young and smart. But as you noted in your post, he’s also Gay (and married to a man)…which, imho, means he’ll eventually be forced to activate his “NCIH club” membership too.

And we have Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. For the longest time they Appeared to be bosom-buddies, pals and chums…lol. But lately (as DJ noted) they’ve turned on each other while Biden patiently stands on the sideline watching the whole petty spectacle.

Which brings me to Joe Biden and where he’s been, in terms of his standing, all along…………….

Front-runner………and eventual nominee.

Okay so let me begin with your breakdown of the remaining candidates. Your description of Tom Steyer, Michael Bennet, Tulsi Gabbard, Andrew Yang, and Deval Patrick- “each a part of the NCIH club,” having “NO CHANCE IN HELL of winning anything”…is absolutely spot on…lol. Really; what are they waiting for?! Just call it a wrap and go somewhere and “siddown.”

Then there’s Klobuchar: I agree with you. She’s destined to activate her *NCIH club* membership. She just doesn’t know it yet. But she will. She will.

Now you and I differ a little on Mike Bloomberg and Mayor Pete. Yes, Bloomberg is rich and can afford to stay til the end. But I still think, despite his obvious money advantage, he’s still just another candidate waiting to activate his ‘NCIH club” membership.
