If I had to put my money behind one person it would definitely be Beto. He has “it”.

You may be right.
You can put your money on him over at Predictit.

Warren…hillary without the corruption

I wouldn’t completely agree - her economic sentiments seem to favor the little guy over Wall Street - but even if I did? That’s not a damning accusation for a Democrat running for national office, since Hillary=corrupt was about the only GOP talking point that got any real traction.

i just meant for her national image…Warren would be great for the banks lol

Here’s a good opinion piece from The Week magazine.
Potential Democrat 2020 candidates assesed.

From Most overrated at top to Most underrated at bottom

Beto O’Rourke - Empty suit. Little experience
Joe Biden - Old. Handsy and likes the ladies. Probably has a @MeToo scandal lurking behind the curtain.
Kamala Harris
Bernie Sanders
Amy Klobuchar
Cory Booker
Elizabeth Warren
Kristen Gillibrand

We need to be looking further west.

Gabbard?
She’s easy on the eyes.

I thing that is Congresswoman, or Major, Gabbard.

Trying to predict what will happen a year and a half out never works out well.

At the end of 2006/beginning of 2007, everyone thought it’d be Rudy v. Hillary in 2008.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-01-03T03:28:13.085Z

The only way I see Biden running is with a young, charismatic liberal golden boy like Beto or Booker as VP.

It’d be 2008 in reverse, which I think could work in 2020, with the right message and campaign.

Exactly. I remember that. No one gave Obama any chance. I think we’ll see something like that in 2020. It’ll be someone not on anybody’s list or way down the lists.

I don’t think Biden will run. Biden loves the attention of fanning speculation, but that’s about it.

I thought Hillary was running again. What the hell happened?

Yes, a couple Trump supporters on this forum insisted over and over that she would indeed run.

It is very interesting that you pick a super far-left columnist from some random magazine to agree with, in terms of candidate viability.

Yes, but ya gotta admit the “neener neener” quotient is off the charts!

Trump Nation: “OH NO, THEY’VE GOT A BABE ON THEIR TICKET?!? WE’LL LOSE THE DUDEBRO DEMOGRAPHIC!!!”

(I want this to happen, just so we can watch Donald grab her in the first televised debate)

TommyLucchese · 2019-01-03T04:35:17.322Z

It’s going to be somebody no one expects, like it usually is. I can only think of a handful of times the presumptive nominee actually ended up being the nominee. It’s usually like the fourth dude on the list.

The front runner in 1992 for the Democrats? Paul Simon. Who the ■■■■ was Paul Simon?

TommyLucchese · 2019-01-03T04:36:24.967Z

Gonna be a white guy though.

Hexenbiest · 2019-01-03T05:39:54.498Z

Biden will run, he is the front runner and has been campaigning, all signs point to a Biden 2020 run.

PurpnGold · 2019-01-03T05:47:31.190Z

Presidential campaigns are popularity contests… Trump proved that. So with that being said it won’t be substance that wins the nomination… it will be someone with the it factor… that favors Beto.
