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

[AGA]

If he survives what could be a tough Senate election...Joe Manchin??

No way he would be nominated.

This.  The Dems are too SJW now to nominate a white Southern man who would already be in his 70s when primary season starts.

It is not even that. He is old. We need to stop nominating old people and rebuild our bench. PERIOD.

What about Inslee in 2020 for the Democratic nomination

[Figueira]

Hey guys, there are plenty of threads here for idle speculation.  This thread is about actual news about people who might run.  Not really intended for "Hey, what about X?  Maybe he'll run." type posts, that aren't grounded in any actual news.

I think maybe you should post this in the title or something. People are ignoring it.

[Crumpets]

What about Inslee in 2020 for the Democratic nomination

He's too boring. He does his job well, and would have a lot to run on, but some debate moderator would ask him about the death penalty or allowing in refugees, he'd give some Dukakis-style answer, and newspapers would run with him being robotic and timid, even if those are some of his strongest areas imho.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

People talking up Kamala not really sure what she does for WWC. Klobuchar seems like the perfect candidate.

Obama did better with WWC than Clinton did - why would Klobuchar, who is as bland as can be and largely follow the Clinton format, do better than Harris?

Well Klobuchar represents a state with a large WWC population and routinely wins by large margins. And Clinton was not bland she has massive baggage and scandals while Klobuchar is clean, she is a former prosecutor like Kamala.

Klobuchar is part of the Clinton class and the same Trump Democrats who propelled him to the Presidency will see through her. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, is someone whom I'm genuinely worried about long term.

Harris/Franken could be a solid ticket.

Or reverse it.

[Mr. Morden]

Relevant again, now that Clinton has lost:

The New York Post says that Cuomo has no intention of challenging Clinton in 2016 (duh), but is gearing up to run for president in 2020, should the GOP win in 2016:

If Democrats choose to clear the field for Cuomo, they deserve 4 more years of Trump.

[Vega]

Cuomo isn't going to be the nominee. Don't need to worry about that.

4 years ago I might have been worried that he had a shot, but given how damaged goods he is now (he spoke out of prime-time at the DNC, if you recall), he won't bee.

[Maxwell]

I think Cuomo is more likely to be in a prison cell by 2020 than the Democratic nominee. I hope I'm right.

I'd love to see O'Malley try again. Now that he has slightly more name recognition and it's not as big of a ticket as Hillary and Bernie, I can see him doing much better.

I can see an argument for Hassan and Duckworth, but I think at that point Hassan may not do as well if the Dems keep the idea of wanting someone younger (and her very close ties with Clinton), Duckworth would make more sense.

O'Malley running in 2020 would be like Ehrlich running in 2016.

O'Malley "taking a hard look at" DNC Chair

In the event he gets it, I wouldn't be surprised if that takes him out of the running in 2020.

[The Vorlon]

Hillary 2020

Bet on it!

[indysaff]

Hillary 2020

Bet on it!

No. She's done, same with Bernie and even Michelle (wasn't likely anyways)

Democrats need someone fresh and new.

[Mr. Morden]

A reporter asks Klobuchar about possible 2020 ambitions, and she gives a non-denial answer:

Meanwhile, looks like Cuomo talked to Trump on Wednesday.  He says there may be benefits to New York in having Trump in the White House:

Yeahhhh there's a 0% chance of Cuomo ever getting the nom

[Trapsy]

God I hate Cuomo more than anything. Nothing like his father.

[Mr. Morden]

Both Cuomo and Warren are asked about 2020:
