34. Yes. With regards to 2020, I worry about a lot of things.

Almost daily I look at this map and worry about many things


In the states that are allocated as blue, I do have concern that a Bloomberg candidacy might affect the turnout numbers, but I don't think it will be enough to change them to Red. I desperately hope that it isn't.

The vast majority of Red ones aren't going to change either.

Those beige ones though.. Those are the ones I look at again and again and again.

The thing I fear the absolute most is waking up on November 4th, 2020 and seeing that orange jackass being reelected, and having that wave of nausea and fear that I had that horrible morning in November 2016.

It baffles the hell out of me still that people who voted for President Obama in 2008 and 2012 could in any way shape or form be some of the same people that voted for orange Hitler in 2016..

I'm not even CLOSE to being all in for Bloomberg at this point, but I do want to see how his numbers will be in those beige states. Maybe he is the one to get those votes back in our court.

There's so much at work against us right now:
Cheetolini is not facing any real primary challenge.
We have what's turning out to be one massive and very contentious primary.
Cheeto is an incumbent, and thanks to President Obama's OUTSTANDING work, even with the mess he's made of things the strong Obama economy is holding.
Our candidates are spending their donations as fast as they get them to fight each other while Cheeto's massive war chest keeps building.

The only things I actually like about Bloomberg at this point is he's going directly after Trump, and the potential he may bring to clinching those swing states.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
