Seth Moulton Saw The Writing On The Wall!

Seth Moulton ends his bid for president.

The herd is thinning.

The Massachusetts congressman whose long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination for president is apparently over. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) is telling his campaign team that he's about to suspend his campaign.

Moulton didn't have an opportunity to be on stage during the two debates. He still doesn't have enough funds or polling to make it to the third debate.

Moulton a combat veteran and a moderate warned the Democrats that if you don't pick Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former vice president Joe Biden, the Democrats are going to lose.

He said that no matter who the nominee is, he will be "campaigning [his] ass off for the party's nominee next year."

"I will continue to fight for a new generation of leadership in our party and our country," Moulton said in his campaign closing statements.

He will seek a fourth term as the U.S. Representative of Massachusetts. He does face a primary challenger from the left. Lisa Peterson is hoping to defeat Moulton who is considered to conservative for Massachusetts.

Moulton joins Jay Inslee, John Hickenlooper, Eric Swalwell and Mike Gravel as the latest member of the largest fied of Democratic candidates dropping out the race. Many of the other candidates who are still running are either polling way below the threshold or not getting the name recognition most others are getting.

I just don't feel like Biden, Sanders and Warren will inspire me to vote in 2020. Given that anyone is better than Donald J. Trump, those three are from the states that gave us Howard Dean, John Kerry and of course Joe Biden in the first and second presidential tries.

If you want to light up a base, you need a candidate who has the appeal to diversify the base.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Julian Castro, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Beto O'Rourke, Andrew Yang and Pete Buttigieg will be the only hope for the Democratic Party.

The next debate will come in September in Houston at the Texas Southern University.

ABC News and Univision will partner in this debate. George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, Linsey Davis and Jorge Ramos will be the debate moderators.

Who made the cut?

Joe Biden
Pete Buttigieg
Kamala Harris
Bernie Sanders
Elizabeth Warren
Cory Booker
Amy Klobuchar
Beto O'Rourke
Julian Castro
Andrew Yang

We will see the herd thin over the next two weeks. Some candidates will eventually drop out after debate three.
