Even though he’s gotten little traction so far, I’m still sticking with José Andrés. A worthy individual, I agree, but he’s far less deserving of the GLA title than several people already ousted IMHO. I’m surprised he’s survived this long.
We’re just two away from our Top Ten.
Springsteen again
Buffet
I think we’ve reached the point at which the entertainers need to be excused. I’ll go along with a Springsteen vote this round.
Bob Dylan
Still feelin’ the Bern.
I’m aware that he’s “directionally correct”, but he needs to have a more positive effect, as I see it, on the nation.
So my vote for Bernie Sanders.
Big fan, but Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce…
There’s a darkness on the edge of voting. Bruce.
Buffet
Elizabeth Warren: Fighting political foes
José Andrés.
Enough already … in solidarity with the OP’s persistence.
Dylan.
I’m going to turn thumbs down on Bill Gates. Imagine it’s 1900, and you’re choosing between Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, Theodore Roosevelt and (social activist) Jane Addams. At some point the inventor loses.
Springsteen. I voted against him weeks ago, and it’s surprising that he hasn’t been eliminated yet.
Is that a vote for her removal?
And they’re still in there feeding people despite that danger, though they are struggling to get supplies in.
No a vote for her to remain.’ She’s one of the few actually actively countering the orange idjit and his cronies. 
OK, thanks. Please avoid ambiguous posts, folks.
