The “Who is running in 2020?” tea leaves thread, Part 2

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I am telling you again.  Hillary is going to run again.

https://nypost.com/2018/07/07/is-hillary-clinton-secretly-planning-to-run-in-2020/

If Democrats are seriously going to nominate her again, it will be my pleasure to once again cast my vote for the Libertarian Nominee.

[Former Dean Phillips Supporters for Haley (I guess???!?) 👁️]

If Democrats are seriously going to nominate her again, it will be my pleasure to once again cast my vote for the Libertarian Nominee.

Would you rather that Dems nominate... A SOCIALIST?!?

Honestly, while I can't even consider supporting either of them unless they refuse to sponsor the single payer bill in the next congress, Kamala Harris or Martin Heinrich would not be nearly as bad as Hillary despite their socialist affilation.

[henster]

No, she's not running again this is just another conservative columnist obsessed with Hillary and feels a need to write about her.

The 2020 Dem field is now officially a clown car.

Worked out great for the GOP after all.

[MAINEiac4434]

So is Stein gearing up to be the sacrificial lamb of the Greens for the third time in a row, or...? It would be interesting to see how much media attention she'd receive given her now infamous status post-2016, TBH.

They should run Nader again for the hell of it. He might break 5% if the Dems nominate some centrist.

[Mr. Morden]

The Boston Globe has a story about the potential presidential ambitions of two Massachusettsians (or whatever people from Massachusetts are called), Deval Patrick and Elizabeth Warren:

Of course, the fact that sources close to both are talking about the possibility of them running for president is yet another indicator that Warren’s “denials” are phony.

Can confirm. Massholes is the correct term.

Did you just call Harris and Heinrich...socialists? Are you okay?

I thought it might be Massochist.

And what about people from Maine?  Are they Mainiacs?

Steyer’s in New Hampshire this week, where he’s spending $ on turning out young people in the midterms:

Tim Ryan reportedly weighing another challenge to Pelosi in November:

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/07/09/tim-ryan-house-democrats-pelosi-703629

What impact that has on his decision about a presidential run remains to be seen.  Presumably if he were to actually be elected Speaker, then he wouldn't immediately launch a presidential campaign, but maybe he could springboard a near miss at the Speakership into a presidential run.

That's what he should be spending money on. Not ads for a lost cause, or his pipe dream of being President.

[Spiffy]

On Joe Biden’s daily podcast, the Biden Briefing, he recently highlighted an article about Pete Buttigieg getting married. The article also described him as a possible 2020 candidate and mentioned President Obama’s praise of the young mayor.

Probably nothing because Biden almost certainly has some intern at the Biden institute or something doing this, but I still found it interesting.

Yep, the key, major races of NH-GOV, NH legislature and Manchester Mayor, races that will decide the fate of the country! Has to be why Merkley is spending so much time there...
