There are like 16 different people even more that are being tossed around. It is still a bit too early to see who will be in the running. I have a feeling the democrat stage will be similar to how many were attempting on the Republican side during 2016.

@elphenor, bernie could have won the 2016, could win 2020 prolly, just up to him. would be a different type of president but more peaceful maybe. the bernie folks seemed very peaceful going up into the election of 2016.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigns over his use of using private airplanes (Lear Jets). He's promised to right the goverment a reimbursement check for $52K. Problem is his tab to the US taxpayers is over $1 million.

Price is a dude that spent his entire political career prior to being named HHSS railing against excessive goverment spending. And there's a number of other Trump cabinet members in trouble for the same thing.

Drain the swamp indeed.

In other news, Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke spoke at a press conference yesterday and praised the wonderful job US were doing doing in helping the people Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz was on TV this morning calling 100% BS and almost crying out of frustration over the lack of aid as well as the mixed message that Duke was sending. The fear being that people would stop donating to the cause if they thought things were going swell.

Classix Fox News reporting:

Quote:
The use of private planes by President Trump’s Cabinet has come under intense media scrutiny in recent days, but officials in the Obama administration also took pricey flights on the government’s dime.

Top figures during President Barack Obama’s tenure who used non-commercial planes for travel included then-attorney generals Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, then-FBI director Robert Mueller, and then-CIA director and defense secretary Leon Panetta.

Because of their jobs, these officials were required to take government planes for security and communications purposes.

The issue of Cabinet officials using non-commercial planes resurfaced after the outcry over Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price's repeated use of private planes and military flights for official business. Price resigned from the administration over the scandal Friday.

The HHS secretary, unlike the defense secretary and others, is not required to use non-commercial planes.

That's absurd for Fox to say. We all know that black people and people who work for them can't be corrupt.

At 6:00 PM I channel surfed to check out the top stories on Fox, MSNBC, CNN, and the three local news affiliates for NBC, CBS, and ABC.

Five out of the six led with Puerto Rico and how dire the situation is down there or Tom Price being fired followed immeidately by Puerto Rico.

One led with a 10 minute piece on how rotten it still is for NFL players to be spitting on our veterans and our flag.

Which leads to a question. The NFL is a private corporation run and managed by the 32 team owners. 28 of the owners (4 have remianed silent), the commisioner, the coaches and staff, and the players are unified in being for the right to protest during the anthem.

Pretty sure there something on the books that states a US president can not meddle in the affairs of private corporations without first going through proper governmental channels. (in case you're wondering, Twitter doesn't count)
