2020 Presidential Potentials
Happy New Year, Everyone!
So, this is the year that people will either join the presidential fray or not. What do things look like so far?
Elizabeth Warren--announced last week she is forming an exploratory committee for a presidential run.
Beto O'Rourke--has variously said he will not run as well as he is keeping his options open.
Tulsi Gabbard--Wikipedia says that Politico, MSNBC, and New Yorker have all stated in recent months that she is giving serious consideration to running. (Please gods, oh please . . .)
Hillary Clinton--No word from her, but her ex-campaign manager continues to state she will definitely be running.
Any status from other potential candidates? Bernie? Kamala? Jill? Other parties? Trump? Republicans?
At this point, who do you think would be best for the country (and world) to win in 2020? Do you think they will run?
Comments
Hillary of course.
Because she's the most qualified politician ever, and you're both sexist and racist if you don't.
(Just getting it out of the way. It's pretty much the Clinton Refrain. Please Refrain from the Clinton Refrain this year. )

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Weird Al
I love it that he plays the accordian. And he is timeless. 28 years teaching and kids loved him the whole time.
Marilyn
"Make dirt, not war." eyo
OMG :) Three thumbs up for that one!
Well played.
A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.

Could the plan be to drown Bernie in a sea of contenders,
and then have Hillary step in and “save” the day? Just throwing that out there.
"The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?" ~Orwell, "1984"
Along those lines
I think the plan is to drown the voters in a sea of candidates, splitting the vote, and then have the supers come in on a second round vote and save everyone from the “wrong” candidate.
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
Elizabeth Harris Clinton O'Rourke
should do the trick (as far as the Democrats are concerned).
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Winfrey/Jolie
Or Jolie/Winfrey.
Just throwing that out there for chuckles. Unless no one chuckles.
Then I'll take it all back and move to China. Open a charge station along the OBOR corridor.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Biden, of course
Because that's the neoliberal we need.
Bernie also made his most definitive statement to date,
although it was not definitive. He said that, if he is the best candidate to beat Trump in 2020. he will run.
Me? I'm tired of the middle men (see how sexist I am?)
Can't we just go ahead and elect one of the oligarchs emperor and be done with the charade? No wait... of course we can't. The oligarchs need to select one among them to rule them all (and us, of course).
