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

What about Inslee in 2020 for the Democratic nomination

The moron who predicted Hillary would beat Bernie in Washington?  No thanks.  He's so out of touch, it's not even funny.  The nominee has to be a Bernie supporter because everyone else proved themselves to be clueless.  Jeff Merkley would be the best option by far.  Keith Ellison would be a good option but being Muslim would hurt his chances.

Not saying he'll be the nominee, but I'm starting to think Jay Inslee runs.

He's been giving his opinion on national issues much more often since November. Feels like he's trying to become more of a figure in the party, specifically the left flank.

This Inslee?  A figure on the left?  Hahahahaha the guy is a punk and a sell-out

Sunday morning talk show watch:

Amy Klobuchar’s moving up in the world.  On most weeks, she’s not prominent enough to merit a Sunday morning talk show invite, but she’ll be on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, while Bernie Sanders will be on CNN’s “State of the Union”:

She has always been very bipartisan and cordial.  She would be a great VP pick, especially if a Democrat wins the 2018 gubernatorial election in Minnesota.

Biden to teach at University of Pennsylvania

So I guess he's not running for Carper's seat like many assumed.

Hickenlooper isn’t ruling out a run:

Well, the Democratic voters support single-payer and Hickenlooper fought hard against the single-payer ballot initiative.  He's not going anywhere.  Maybe he should run as a Republican.

If Hickenlooper does poorly, this won't be the reason. The state ballot initiative was massively flawed, both major parties came together to oppose it, and the people of the state voted against it 21/79. Even famously liberal Boulder County rejected it 38/62.

Well yeah, if both the Democratic governor and the Democratic Senator oppose it, it obviously won't pass.  Perhaps they should have tried to introduce something that would work, but obviously they didn't care.

Does Jimmy Dore/TYT have a video ripping Hickenlooper you can link us to?

Not that I know of, but I take it you don't want people to have access to healthcare?  Maybe you should change your avatar.
