Clinton wins 2016 nomination, loses GE to Jeb Bush. is Warren the 2020 favorite?

Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Julian Castro would be tossed around. They'd probably be in the top tier. Along with Hillary's VP pick if they're not too old (read: if it's Kaine or Warner or someone around that age, they're too old for 2020). I'm sure O'Malley will run again.

They're would probably be some unexpected people enter the race too. Maybe some people we haven't even heard of yet.

Even if she isn't the frontrunner anymore by the second half of 2019, she'd obviously be the *early* frontrunner, wouldn't she?  Who else would have already established themselves by 2017, to be the early frontrunner?  Clinton's VP nominee, OK, whoever that might be.  I guess it depends on who that is, and how they perform in the '16 campaign.  But otherwise, it's got to be Warren.

Oh of course. She'll be hyped up by pundits, but she'll put the speculation to rest pretty early.
