              Could change the reporting requirement to 24hrs or something significanly less than 30-45 days. The juicy theories alone would fill all new hours in the 24hr new cycle.

        What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer…

      I know you’re joking, but in all seriousness every time I see or hear about this guy, I legitimately have to remind myself who the hell he is.

    Yeah, he couldn’t crack 10% and in most cases couldn’t even hit 5%, regularly losing to “Uncommitted.”

    Time to go!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota has suspended his campaign for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination, ending his long-shot bid for the White House.

    “I’m going to suspend my campaign and I will be, right now, endorsing President Biden because the choices are so clear,” he said in a Minnesota radio interview on WCCO’s “The Chad Hartman Show.”

    The three-term congressman said he had to run against the leader of his party because he argued Biden would lose to former President Donald Trump in the general election in November.

    Speaking to NBC’s “Meet the Press” soon after, Phillips said, “Right now, if this election was held today, President Biden would lose, and it is an existential threat to the future of the United States of America.

    His decision to drop out comes after he announced in November that he wouldn’t run for re-election to his House seat representing Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.

    In the days leading up to the primary, Phillips spent time campaigning in New Hampshire, including in Nashua on Saturday, where he said Biden shouldn’t be running again — especially because he’s 81 years old.
