Joe Sestak ends 2020 Democratic presidential campaign
CNN ^ | December 1, 2019 | Paul LeBlanc

Former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak on Sunday ended his long-shot 2020 presidential bid after failing to gain traction in the race for the Democratic Party's nomination.

"I want to thank you for the honor of running for President of the United States of America," Sestak said in a statement. "It has been an endeavor filled with immeasurable wisdom, passions, humor and insights to, and from, the people of America."

Sestak, who mounted unsuccessful bids for US Senate in 2010 and 2016, entered an already-crowded Democratic primary field in June hoping to leverage his career in the US Navy into a successful campaign, but did not qualify for any of the major Democratic presidential debates.

"The hour has become late to restore US leadership to this liberal world order, but Iraq is our lesson to remember," Sestak said in a video announcing his campaign in June. "Democrats and Republicans alike who cast their votes for the tragic misadventure in Iraq showed little understanding that while militaries can stop a problem, they can never fix a problem."

That was quick. He was the last candidate to announce before the recent additions of Deval Patrick and Michael Bloomberg. He made no debates.

There is not a liberal world order, and as long as most of the Earth is ruled by single party state dictatorships -- the lifelong dream of all Demwits for the United States -- classical liberalism (free market economics and politics) will not be the world order.

A perfumed (clown) prince. We will miss the comic relief.

Definitely NOT a “in case of war, break glass” kind of guy.

Just egotistical. Loved to hear himself talk. He came into the Chief’s Mess and gave us a speech and when he left we all looked at each other like, “WTF was that?” Also saw him berate one of his aides in front of a bunch of blue-shirts. Big no-no.
