Obviously there is a lot of call for certain people to just end their bids. Beto O'Rourke seems to be the fan favorite regarding calls for dropping out, but Kamala Harris's fifteen minutes also appears to be over. Is there any "real" reason for Amy Klobuchar to be sticking around (after all she just can't seem to break through that two percent ceiling). Andrew Yang and Julio Castro are side shows. Cory Booker appears to be content to campaign for VP.
Obviously Joe Biden, Liz Warren, and Bernie Sanders are the front runners from an overall perspective. Pete Buttigieg has the money and infrastructure to stick around. I don't expect any of them to go anywhere anytime soon. Same might be said about someone like Tom Steyer who has qualified for the next debate and will likely want to stick around for that.
All that being said, I suspect if anyone decides to dropout now, it won't be any of the ten people who were on stage last night. Most of them just appear to enjoy having their moment where they can tell their grand-kids that they ran for President (or in Biden's Warren's and Sander's case - their great-grand-kids).

Right now it's all about delegate clout at the convention.
They are trying to parley that into a VP spot or a cabinet position. (Except Castro. God knows what he was thinking.)
Anyway, there will be no drop outs until after the first couple of primaries and caucuses.
agree with CS.
There is too much wealth to be gained by staying in, given that these Socialist are like all Socialist ever it is about financial gain .

THE DELUSIONAL TRUMP is Squandering His Political Power
Jonathan Bernstein: “Trump is, as political scientists like myself and Matt Glassman have been saying for some time, a very weak president. Congressional Republicans basically ignore his policy ideas. He loses battles to the executive-branch bureaucracy all the time. He’s been reduced to hiring flunkies and family members so he can get his way within the White House, and even they don’t seem to listen to him half the time. For those familiar with Richard Neustadt’s study of the presidency, this is no surprise: Trump is unpopular and has a poor professional reputation, so he’s not going to have very much influence.
“What this means is that the political system is basically working. It’s imposing serious consequences on the president for doing a bad job. Refusing to respect the rules of the office is one of the ways that presidents can harm their reputations. And Trump’s unpopular Twitter persona and generally unpresidential behavior are partly why his approval rating is some 15 percentage points below where it would be based only on the economy and other fundamentals. Presidents normally care desperately about power, and Trump is squandering his.
“The only problem is that he doesn’t realize it. We can’t know what he really thinks, but he seems to believe he’s wildly popular despite evidence to the contrary. As for his reputation? Again, we can’t know what’s in his head. But based on his public statements, he seems to think that what he’s doing is working – and if anything isn’t working, it has nothing to do with him.”
Jane, you do know that many of the Dwarfs self Identify as Socialist.

Your chicken little squawking vs reality.
"The numbers: The cost of imported goods fell sharply in August owing to a decline in petroleum prices, indicating the U.S. is facing little price pressures from abroad.
The import price index fell by 0.5% last month, the government said Friday. Over the past year import prices have dropped 2%."
Americans Increasingly See Climate Change as a Crisis
A new Washington Post/Kaiser Family Foundation poll finds that a strong majority of Americans — about 8 in 10 — say that human activity is fueling climate change, and roughly half believe action is urgently needed within the next decade if humanity is to avert its worst effects. Nearly 4 in 10 now say climate change is a “crisis,” up from less than a quarter five years ago.
However, two-thirds say President Trump is doing too little to tackle the problem.
Climate change will only be a crisis if one of the socialist democrats on stage become president.
The we will have a real crisis.
And it will be them.
Jane is in topic shifting as she continues to loss the debates.
DO keep going against everything that is sane in foreign policy, climate policy, economic policy, trade policy, etc. etc. etc.
Judgement day is coming, and we're going to make this a country of, by, and for the PEOPLE again.

Appeals Court Reinstates Emoluments Case
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated a lawsuit that accused President Trump of violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause, Bloomberg reports.
Axios: “The decision dredges up one of the president’s most persistent ongoing legal threats. It’s a high-level ruling for such a case and could force the president to defend himself in court because only an expanded version of the Second Circuit or the Supreme Court could overturn the decision.”
A government

AF warns diverting funds to wall will risk national security
What is the AF?
Our Defense Secretary disagrees.
Diverting $3.6 billion from military construction projects to fortify a southern border wall allows the U.S. to better deploy troops to curb illegal immigration, Defense Secretary Mark Esper says.
The plan, which siphons $77 million from four projects in Hampton Roads, drew strong protests from Democratic lawmakers. They say President Donald Trump is promoting his political agenda at the military's expense, that the wall is ineffective and that the move will hurt morale.
Esper defended the shift of funds. Once construction is complete, the Defense Department can redeploy personnel to "other high-traffic areas on the border without barriers. In short, these barriers will allow DoD to provide support to DHS (Department of Homeland Security) more efficiently and effectively," he wrote in a memo.
Moreover, the funds are coming from delaying projects that haven't started yet, a vast majority being projects where the money is being spent outside of the United States.
Good recap of the debate below. A Kamala Harris nugget for roger near the end:
"Harris is your drunk aunt at Thanksgiving who keeps bursting into laughter for no apparent reason and everyone just stares awkwardly"
That nay explain his fascination.

good.
now trump can win the case outright and we can be done with this fucking nonsense.
Moreover, the funds are coming from delaying projects that haven't started yet, a vast majority being projects where the money is being spent outside of the United States.
if the left really did care about the projects being delayed, they could appropriate the funds and have them begin immediately.
or just take the $$$ out of fat nadler's congressional cafeteria account.
are about the projects being delayed, they could appropriate the funds and have them begin immediately.
And if you had a brain you would suddenly realize they already had done that and idiots like you are paying for the wall!!!! Driving the deficit higher than the trillion already on the books!!!
Our Defense Secretary disagrees.
Of course he does you dumb fuck Lil Scotty....the AF, an important branch spoke out since the lions share of the projects come from them!!!!!! Dayum you are transparently dumb today!!!!

Trump Promises ‘Very Inspirational’ Tax Cuts
President Trump “is reviving LAST YEAR’S promise to slash taxes for America’s middle class as he seeks to bolster his reelection bid against Democratic pledges to help people suffering under piles of student loan debt and wrestling to pay oversized medical bills,” CNN reports.
Trump promised — YET AGAIN — new tax cuts next year, claiming they would be “very, very substantial,” without offering any more details.
Said Trump: “We’re working on a tax cut for the middle-income people that is going to be very, very inspirational. It’s going to be something that I think everyone is looking for.”
BS APLENTY.
Trump has a solution. They can use the tax cut to pay off their student loans and medical bills.
speaker in Name Only Polosi promised IF she became speaker she had a Middle Income tax cut plan.
her plan to-date , zero plan.
James as far as all tax cuts go do not participate , send a check to the treasury for the full amount you believe you owe.
use this Address, they will accept your check.

As a result, Trump has tumbled down the Forbes 400 list, the latest edition of which will be published in full Wednesday."

Neil Jacobs, the acting head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sent an all-staff email Friday afternoon in an apparent effort to repair damage from an unusual Sept. 6 statement that sided with President Trump rather than agency weather forecasters.
The controversial NOAA statement, which was unsigned, rebuked forecasters at the National Weather Service who tweeted that Alabama would “NOT see any impacts” from Hurricane Dorian after Trump wrongly tweeted that the state would “most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated.”
The Washington Post learned Jacobs and NOAA chief of staff Julie Kay Roberts were involved in crafting the statement, which admonished the Weather Service’s Birmingham office for speaking “in absolute terms.” However, Jacobs fought issuing such a statement and also tried to block the paragraph that called out the Birmingham Weather Service office but lost both those arguments, according to two people who spoke to The Post.
The Post subsequently reported that the statement resulted after Jacobs was ordered by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to fix things at the request of Trump, through his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

In the email to staff released Friday, with the subject line “Keeping NOAA’s Mission in Focus,” Jacobs showered praise on forecasters for their efforts during Dorian — specifically highlighting the efforts of the Birmingham office.
“During hurricane Dorian, our Weather Forecast Offices, including Birmingham and the National Hurricane Center, did their utmost to produce accurate and timely weather forecasts to inform the general public and ensure public safety,” Jacobs wrote.
Jacobs had also lauded the Birmingham office in a speech at the National Weather Association annual conference in Huntsville on Tuesday.
