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

[Confused Democrat]

Tim Ryan appears to be angling for house minority leader.

Any chance that he throws his hat in the ring come 2020?

I would argue Sanders is the de facto frontrunner, or at least tied for that nod with Warren.

There's only been one poll (from before the 2016 election) and it had Warren ahead. I'm not sure if Sanders was even included though.

Warren will be 71 in 2020.

It will be her last chance to run if she really wants it.

What are Julian Castro’s post-Obama admin. plans?

As the story notes, Julian’s brother Juaquin is considering running for Ted Cruz’s Senate seat in 2018.

I didn't believe Julian Castro was qualified to be Hillary's VP. What the hell makes him think he's qualified to be POTUS?

I already posted a thread about O’Malley’s interview with Alan Colmes, but should also mention the part that’s relevant for the big “Will O’Malley run again in 2020?” question.  Colmes asked O’Malley what he intends to do with his life next, and here’s the answer (this starts towards the end, from around the 11:25 mark):

That sounds like a yes to me.

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

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

Booker: “I am not open to being president”:

And he continues to have a facial expression indicating that he's either worried or needs to use the bathroom quickly:

I know it's unreasonable and doesn't make sense, but I don't trust bald people. Therefore, I don't trust Booker.

Also, Booker still likely to run I think; even if he says he's not open to it.

[Confused Democrat]

This kind of Booker hate is just irrational.

My opinion of him changed after watching Street Fight. I have a lot more respect for him now, and I would highly suggest that his haters watch it.

Martin O'Malley probably just lost himself a lot of voters: Bernie wouldn't have won

O'Malley is a joke at this point

[Confused Democrat]

Warren doesn't sound thrilled about running.

I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't run for the nomination in 2020. I don't know why people think she's so likely to run.
