Who is most likely to win the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination?(Aug 2017)

[Liberalrocks]

Out the choices listed...either Warren or Gillibrand... I chose Warren, because of how easily Gillibrand can be pinned as a flip-flopper ala John Kerry or Mitt Romney.

Also, for next month could you please remove Hillary Clinton (she isn't running) and maybe add a Mark Zuckerberg/George Clooney option?

Although Hillary has indicated that she isn't running, we can't guarantee that the same will hold true come 2019. I would keep her on the list of options until about mid-2019 or so.

Agreed and I actually think there is a greater chance she will run then that of Zuckerberg and to a lesser extent Clooney. Although I would not post this comment on facebook.

oh I like that one !

Well if Biden and Clinton opt out of running where do those voters go? I hardly see Warren and no way on Bernie getting them.

Not sure yet. I think it'll be someone who is not really expected to.

The sole vote for Newsom.

Newsom will become the next Governor of California about a year and a half from now. After being governor for roughly a year he will announce his run for the presidency. He will win over progressive voters that backed Sanders so strongly in 2016, largely due to his strong progressive support on key issues such as the environment, gay marriage, and marijuana legalization. He will win over enough of the remaining Dems to capture the party's nomination (aged 52), and will go on to win the presidency (aged 53) only two years after being elected Governor of California. Don't underestimate Newsom. He's the one to watch. Pay attention.

Nah, won't happen. Newsom is favored be our next governor and he may run for president one day, but certainly not in 2020. That's too early. He'd likely support Harris if she enters the race.

Yeah I like both, but agree 2020 would be too soon for Newsom presuming he is elected Governor. I could see 2024 or 2028 and beyond. I think both have bright futures ahead.
