Who will replace Uncle Joe?

-
I'm gonna start this by saying I still think Biden will be the nominee. I still have money on it. I think the sexual assault allegation will hurt him, but the DNC will rally and keep him in the race. That being said who will replace him if he has to drop out? The biggest factor here is that if Biden drops out, superdelegates will determine the nominee at the convention. That means the DNC. Superdelegates are not elected, they are appointed and they do what the DNC says. So, with that in mind, here we go.

Bernie Sanders
Nope. But what if..... nope. Does not matter. No what if exists that makes Bernie the candidate. The DNC will shut that down by any means necessary. Where's the proof? Klobuchar and Mayor Pete dropping out right before Super Tuesday was the DNC nailing the door shut on Bernie. 

Pete Buttigieg 
I would vote unlikely. He doesn't have the experience and I don't feel like he can beat Trump. The Trump vs. Mayor Pete debates would be great but if the DNC doesn't think he can beat Trump, he doesn't get the nomination.

Amy Klobuchar 
This is an interesting option. She has done well in a purple state and has never lost an election. She is very similar to Biden on policy and would attract alot of moderate and independents. That being said there was beginning to be some noise right before she dropped out about the connection between donations received and bills introduced. I'm not saying it's true, but if it is, that would be alot of ammo for Trump and his anti establishment position.

Elizabeth Warren 
I think Warren is definitely top 2, if not top choice for replacing Biden. She had several good debate performances and has the grass roots fundraising behind her. I somehow ended up on her email list and she hasn't stopped fundraising to this day. She would pull alot of the Bernie Bros into the tent but has more appeal for the moderate side of the party than Bernie.

Andrew Cuomo 
He is front and center based solely on his coronavirus news conferences. He has been front and center since the beginning. He has also gone toe to toe with Trump on some issues while complimenting him on others. This would appeal to alot of moderates and independents. Downside is not alot of national experience or exposure before now but recency bias could overcome that. I also think he is a dark horse for the VP slot.

Michael Bloomberg 
I have him here as almost an afterthought because he is D-O-N-E done. Cuomo has made him look silly every step of the way. He has no chance. 

Feel free to debate me. Stay safe everybody and in case you missed my earlier blog FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!

    What about The Squad? Surely a former bar tender, a home wrecker that may have married her brother, a mentally unstable woman, and someone who is best known for just generally hating Trump should all be considered.

$1200 for 10 weeks

I think the entire package provides economic relief overall for about 10 weeks," Mnuchin told CBS's "Face the Nation." "Hopefully we will kill this virus quicker and we won't need it, but we have liquidity to put into the American economy to support American workers and American business." So, ol' Steve is getting murdered online for this quote. Secretary Mnuchin say $1200 dollars will last 10 weeks. This is popping up all over twitter, facebook, and my news feed. Wake the fuck up people. He isn't referring to the stimulus check. He is referring to the 2.2 trillion (best guess because the people who wrote it don't know the price tag) package. The whole fucking thing. The one where you are a guaranteed to qualify for unemployment if you lost your job due to coronavirus. The one that gives small business loans. The one that gives any waitress making $300 a week roughly $800 a week in unemployment benefits. This is why the news sucks. CNN, MSNB

The 61 year old potato farmer that stunned the world.

-
Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and hear the story of  Cliff Young . He has seemed to enter the realm of half myth, half truth that surrounds all greats but his story is remarkable. Full disclosure: I got this story from a guest pastor at church Sunday. Here we go.  In 1983, people were gathered for the Australia ultra marathon. A 543 mile race from Sydney to Melbourne. Most competitors were in their twenties or thirties and had extensive training and corporate sponserships. Into this group walked a 61 year old man wearing faded overalls and rubber work boots. His name was Cliff Young. He was a sheep and potato farmer from just outside Melbourne. Most considered him a joke at best, delusional at worst. Several journalists questioned if he would survive. This is where the myth/truth comes into play. Some accounts have him running in overalls. Others say he wore windbreakers with holes cut by hand for ventilation. One account claims he wore 10 pairs of running shoes throughout the race. W

B1G has cancelled football.

-
 The B1G and PAC 12 have cancelled fall sports.  Here  is the B1G official statement. I have been thinking about this and getting steadily more upset ever since 1:45 PM. This is horrible. I have avoided really shitting on the COVID-19 media coverage too much because I didn't want to deal with the trolling and "yOu THinK cOroNavIruS iS faKe IF yOu qUEstioN anYthIng!" crowd. I am done. Bring on the trolls. This decision has nothing to do with the coronavirus. The B1G, as a whole, is not concerned about player safety per coronavirus. Nothing has changed in the overall COVID-19 numbers between when they announced the season schedule and when they cancelled. The schedule was announced August 5. Per the  CDC report release July 31  hospitalization rate was 130.1 per 100,000 and mortality rate was 8.4% if you include pneumonia, influenza, and COVID-19 deaths. The  report released August 7   has hospitalization at 137.6 per 100,000 and mortality rate at 7.8% if you include pneumo
