Amy just doesn't seem that exciting of a candidate for President.

I saw a petition on change.org with the aim of getting Al Gore to run again in 2020 (not asking you to sign it haha); I doubt that Gore will run again, if he was going to he should have done so in 2008 when people were fed up with the Bush administration.

I can't say who will run in 2020 but, assuming he wins the California Gubernatorial in 2018 and does a good job as Governor, Gavin Newsom could be a strong Democratic candidate for 2024 (assuming Trump wins in 2020) or 2028.

Martin O'Malley campaigning in an IA Sen special election. Dear Lord, I commend him on his devotion to the grassroots but dude can't take a hint.

As I noted upthread:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=233345.msg5447343#msg5447343

Newsom called President of the United States "the most miserable job in the world".  So publicly, at least, he doesn't seem interested.  Whether that's just for show or not, I don't know.

That's just his way of saying "not yet"; come 2024 or 2028 he'll have changed his tune.

I think she is one of the most competent... and would do a great job... But I agree.

I think 2020 will need a Dem ticket that seems fresh & a bit more exciting.

I don't get why people are talking up Newsom. Is he going to announce his presidential run in his inaugural address for Governor?

Clearly he's a great bi-partisan uniter who can get into bed with the opposition Wink

It's because Bill Maher recently said in an interview that he wanted him to run in 2020.

Klobuchar would have beaten Trump; she'd have carried MI and WI.

Trump could never have attacked Klobuchar like he did Hillary and gotten away with it.  Klobuchar had none of the baggage Hillary had.

Just wait until after the Democratic primary for NH Gov in 2018. Suddenly it will seem like the most important governorship in the country.

Stefany Shaheen or Ann Kuster for president?

Nah as in all the potential Dem candidates will be stopping by. Though, Shaheen does have certain...qualities...that would make her more likely to win nationwide than someone like Kuster.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Ann Warren, 71 years old in 2020, from Oklahoma originally, United Methodist running in 2020?
I don't know if I would vote for her, but I think she is going to run.
Whether she wins or not is anyone's guess.

According to this:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/hillary-clinton-campaign-staff-growing-219638

it looks like she was the Clinton campaign's spokeswoman for Iowa (during the IA caucus campaign), then moved to NY when the race went national:

...and even if he was elected Governor in, say, 2014, and had enough experience on the job to mount a national campaign, he's still DLC trash who would get ripped to shreds in the primary.

I often hear this, but what exactly is wrong with him? Honest question, I'm not defending him, just curious.

With $49.3 Billion and direct control of one of the largest social media platforms, he'd certainly have some advantages. Maybe he would run as an Independent, since he's apparently donated money to Booker, Schumer, and Pelosi, but also Boehner, Ryan, Rubio, and Hatch. He certainly has the money necessary to self-fund an Indy run.

Absolutely, 'Crooked Klobuchar' would have never stuck like Crooked Hillary, Klobuchar has no shady foundation or private email you can associate with. None of the prospective candidates besides Cuomo has the amount of baggage that Hillary had.

I know that you know this, but for the benefit of anyone who doesn't, WMUR is a New Hampshire TV station.  Looks like McElveen was in DC to cover the new Congress, but still interesting that Booker was willing to do an interview with him.  I presume that Booker doesn't normally do interviews with TV stations from Rhode Island or Vermont.  New Hampshire's early state status is of course a factor.
