Guys... both Maggie Hassan and Kusty go to New Hampshire quite frequently... are they planning something in 2020???!?

They represent New Hampshire, so of course they go to New Hampshire...therefore that joke is idiotic.

I can't wait to hear your take on other jokes:
"He would only have to say 'The name of the player on first base is Who'... therefore that joke is idiotic."
"Of course the chicken has to cross the road to get to the other side... therefore that joke is idiotic."
"I have a doorbell, so you wouldn't have to say 'knock, knock' if you were at my house... therefore that joke is idiotic."

Both Biden and Gillibrand were at OZY fest yesterday, and both were interviewed by Katie Couric, with questions about 2020:

I can’t find a word for word transcript of Couric’s interview with Gillibrand, but according to this, she deflected the question (which would be a reversal from her pretend “ruling it out” a couple of months ago):

Actually, I like the "Who's on first" gag, and the chicken crossing the road joke. Knock-knock jokes are idiotic though.

I've become more and more convinced that Zuckerberg could be one to watch - he's been fleshing out a pretty interesting political message over the last few months that's bolder than anything the Democrats have discussed.


The derision against Zuck is pretty identical to the derision against Trump among conservative intellectual circles in 2014 and 2015 - I think it's impossible to rule out completely.

As someone who voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary, I hope he doesn't run again. Democrats will continue to lose if there's a constant "Hillary Democrat" vs "Bernie Democrat" divide. Clearly the 2016 election was a disaster for Democrats, and we need to move on from it and not run the same people in 2020 that we did in 2016.

That didn't stop the Republicans from winning in 1980.

WaPo has a new story on Sherrod Brown in which he’s asked about running for prez in 2020, and he says “I just don’t want to do it”:

The story also includes a lot of discussion about Brown’s participation in the veepstakes last year.  Despite his current denial of interest in running for prez, he says that he “relished” the idea of campaigning in other Midwestern states, had he been the VP nominee last year:

That story made me love Sherrod Brown even more than I already did. He'd make a great Vice President.

I'm glad it has confirmed that Sherrod Brown isn't currently dying from a stage IV throat cancer.

Also, I'm totally on the Sherrod 2020 train now.

Every time I hear Sherrod Brown speak, I always remember how good he was as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

Back to the Hamptons for Harris, and she's hiring a lot of Hillary staffers. *vomits*

Brown's chances of being the VP pick go way up if a Democrat wins the OH Gov race next year.

Especially since the governor would most likely appoint Tim Ryan, who would be best suited to hold the seat for a significant time rather than simply a temporary, half-term occupant.

Bernie speaks at the NAACP national convention



The speech came as Sanders continues to be one of the most active potential Democratic candidates ahead of the 2020 election. In his 2016 run for the presidency, Sanders struggled to compete for African-American votes with eventual Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/24/politics/bernie-sanders-naacp-speech/index.html

Kamala Harris and Tammy Duckworth also spoke, The NAACP endorsed Harris recent bail reform bill.

The Brown piece makes Tim Ryan's decision to remain in the House much more understandable - if Brown is elected nationwide in 2020 he gets the Senate appointment, and if Brown isn't on the ticket/loses nationwide then he challenges Portman in a Trump six-year midterm in 2022.

Or he's a young guy in a safe seat on the right side of a massive generational bottleneck in the House...

I don't see why anything in that piece indicates a Brown 2020 run any more than any of the various other pieces on Brown have. He's a nice guy, he has the right bio if he wants to do it.

But he doesn't want to do it. He's never wanted to do it. We could pretty transparently *see * if he wanted to do it (he'd pop up in this thread a lot more, that's for sure), and he's not doing any of the things that would indicate he wants to.

He doesn't want to do it.

He doesn't want to do it.

I mostly agree but he's candid about wanting the VP job once he was a finalist and about regretting not being able to campaign across the Midwest. That doesn't mean he's insincere now when he expresses a lack of desire to run for president. But presumably, if he's re-elected in one of the handful of states Democrats need to flip to take back the White House, the buzz about him running will grow and possibly affect him a way similar to being in VP contention did.


As for Tim Ryan, sounds like he may be eyeing running in 2020 himself and being elected governor in 2018 is too fast to turn around and run for president. (At least, it has been for a few decades.)
