Tim Ryan and Beto O'Rourke Drop Out And The Election Is A Year From Today!

Two candidates dropped out of the Democratic race within the last few days, Beto O'Rourke and Tim Ryan. That leaves 17 candidates on my I'm Running list, nine of whom have qualified for the November 20 debate (Biden, Sanders, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg, Steyer, Yang, Booker and Klobuchar.)

The election is one year from today! A lot has to happen between now and November 3, 2020, including voters actually voting. The Iowa caucuses are three months from today, on February 3; by the time I get to vote in the Illinois primary, on St. Patrick's Day, 25 states, Puerto Rico and American Samoa will have voted and presumably the field will have narrowed significantly. Any guesses for who will still be in the race on March 17, 2020?
