The “Who is running in 2020?” tea leaves thread, Part 2

[Mr. Smith]

Harris's campaign committee ramped up its spending on the online media firm Revolution Messaging (whose previous clients include the 2016 Sanders presidential campaign) in the third quarter even though she doesn't face reelection until 2022:

Again, she does not face reelection until 2022, yet her campaign spent half a million dollars in the third quarter of 2017 alone.  Lol.

She raised and spent like a drunk sailor just to get into The Senate, against Loretta Sanchez no less...I wouldn't try to tie any logic in the face of that.

In another anti-Trump move of defiance, Sen. Jeff Flake donates $100.00 to Democrat Doug Jones and his campaign against Judge Roy Moore.

Strong feeling one of these Never Trump-ers are going to primary him in 2020 for the purpose of just-because.

Uh, Flake's already retiring.

Or are you talking about Moore getting primaried?

[Mr. Smith]

Booker is quite shameless huh?

Report: Kamala Harris heads to Drumpf country for 2020 'shadow campaign'

https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Kamala-Harris-2020-election-Drumpf-country-Michigan-12890494.php

We all know she is going to run but this could be an interesting trial to see if she could appeal to, or even salvage, some of those voters that Clinton lost.

I hate how they characterize Michigan & Wisconsin as 'Trump country' were they ever described as Obama country? No.

That's because Obama won in a blowout was hailed from the Midwest anyway, the impressive area worth the controversy was the North Carolina Research Triangle and NoVA.

Also, everything besides The Prairies and Mountain West seemed like Obama Country until 2010.

If 2018 sees a lot of flips in the Midwest, Arizona, and the Southeast...people will stop with that nonsense.

The 2020 Dem field is now officially a clown car.

Worked out great for the GOP after all.

Elizabeth Warren appeared on the news today and stated in regards to the Mollie Tibbets murder that Americans need to be more focused on "real issues."

She's right though. Do you really think people are going to remember that in 2020? They'll probably try and convict the guy next year before anybody votes.

Did she have to sound so cold-hearted and technocratic, though?  I mean, really.  What is it with people from Massachusetts and their inability to project empathy?

Warren with this.  Romney with the "47%" and the "I like to fire people!" comments.  Dukakis with his robotic answer on his wife's rapist and murderer getting the death penalty.

The Kennedy's good sir. The Kennedy's.
