Still No Democrats Running to be President of the United States

The Democrats now can field two baseball teams including designated hitters with those who have thrown their hats into the ring as candidates for President.  These are a motley bunch who are amazingly diverse, which is an accomplishment.  I have yet to see any of these candidates stake out a position to represent all of the United States of America.  It is strange to see these candidates stake out one or two firm positions, but have decided to not reach across to rural America, military families, gun owners, stupid people, or the fundamentalists.  No one seems to want to represent all 320 million Americas. At this point, here is what it looks like to me as an outsider looking in.  I present the candidates and the office that they seem to be running for at this time in alphabetical order.

1. Michael Bennett--President of Those Who Hate Everyone But will Vote for Someone with a Good Sounding Name or President of Those Who Vote by Alphabetical Order

2. Joe Biden--President of PA, MI, and WI.

3. Cory Booker--President of Superhero Mayors

4. Pete Buttigieg--President of Those Who Are Different in America. (Gay Christian? I mean what are there 8 of those in the United States?)

5. Julian Castro--President of Latinos Living in Cities

6. John Delaney--President of Those Who Will Only Vote for The First Candidate Declared and Those Fans of First Come, First Served.

7. Tulsi Gabbard--President of Samoa

8. Kirsten Gillibrand--President of the Sexually Harassed.

9. Kamala Harris--President of Law Enforcement Democrats (all 200,000 of them?)

10. John Hickenlooper--President of Marijuana Users and Home Brewing Geologists.

11. Jay Inslee: President of Those Concerned About Climate Change (Basically Seattle and Portland).

12. Amy Klobuchar--President of Canada and Minnesota.

13. Wayne Messam--President of Florida College Football Fans

14. Seth Moulton--President of Marines Who Attended Harvard

15. Beto O'Rourke--President of Artists and Creative Americans Who Work a Day Job as a Barista.

16. Tim Ryan--President of Youngstown or President of the US House of Representatives.

17. Bernie Sanders--President of the Democratic Socialists of America and Those Serving Time in Prison.

18. Eric Swalwell--President of MSNBC.

19. Elizabeth Warren--President of Smart People and Those In College.

20. Marianne Williamson--President of Soulful Social Activists.

21. Andrew Yang--President of Startup Executives.

Updated: 22. Steve Bullock--Attorney General in the Next Democratic Administration

Updated 23. Bill De Blasio--President of Those Who Attend Demonstrations

I am sure there will be more, but it is a depressing list at this point.
