US Election 2020

Bernie Sanders will be 78 years old in 2020. I think he's past it, and we're safely rid of comrade Sanders.

Next on the list they have Kamala Harris, Corey Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand. None of those strike me as all that thrilling to the voter.

There's that Clinton Croney, Terry McCauliffe of Virginia. He might run.

Frankly, the WaPo's list looks underwhelming.

What do you folks think? Who will try to unseat the Trumpster?

There should be loads to choose from as I'm sure everyone believes they can beat Trump.

Unless they impeach him, I think Trump will be formidable in 2020. If the Democrats take the House, though, they will try to impeach him.

Look American elections are never democratic so it will be up to the one that can screw the electorate the most.

She'd negotiate the hell out of those trade deals!

That's a no-brainer. Kenyan-born candidates have a perfect record beating all comers from within and without the Democratic Party.

Why do they call them elections in the USA. Fixations would be a better name.

Who's sponsoring each side in this election? Russia sponsoring the Republicans, and Venezuela the Dems?

Trump losing ground but Republicans barely suffering for 2018. Old white guys to be replaced by slightly younger old guys in November:
If the 2020 presidential election were held today, Republican Donald Trump would fall to any Democrat in the potential field and lose out on a second term, according to a new poll released Wednesday morning.

A Politico/Morning Consult poll found only 36 percent of voters would pick the current commander-in-chief over a generic Democrat, with Trump losing largely due to a lack of support among independent voters.

This is what they said all through 2016, that Trump had no chance of winning.
