Warren is Preparing for 2020. So Are Biden, Booker, Harris and Sanders.
MSN NYTimes ^ | July 15, 2018

Posted on 07/15/2018 2:12:57 PM PDT by SMGFan

During a campaign-style tour of the West late last month, Senator Elizabeth Warren did not announce she was running for president. But in private events and public speeches, her message about 2020 was as clear as it was rousing.

In Salt Lake City, Ms. Warren urged Democrats to turn out in force for the midterm elections to build momentum for the next presidential race, and in Denver, she told a meeting of state legislators and trial lawyers that she wanted to be a tribune for lower-income Americans, according to people who attended the events. And in a speech to the Nevada Democratic Party in Reno, Ms. Warren said Democrats must do more than “drive Donald Trump and his enablers out of power.”

“I want a party strong enough to take on the hard job of cleaning up the mess they’ll leave behind once they are gone,” Ms. Warren declared, all but volunteering for the task

Before the trip and since, Ms. Warren and her emissaries have been reaching out to key Democratic officeholders in Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina — three states early in the presidential primary calendar — making introductions and offering help in the midterm campaign. Altogether, her moves are among the most assertive steps taken by any Democrat to prepare for 2020.

Ms. Warren, 69, now leads a small advance guard of Democrats who appear to be moving deliberately toward challenging President Trump. Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., wielding a political network cultivated over decades, has been reasserting himself as a party leader, while Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California have emerged as fresher-faced messengers for the midterms. And Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the runner-up in the 2016 primaries, has been acting like a candidate as he considers anotherrace.

Not a “winner” in that pack. Trying to make this easy for Trump?

Joe Biden and Corey Booker are jokes, and poorly told ones at that. Hillary knew better than to have Corey as her VP Candidate. He’s a rather shallow character, and not the best democrat actor in Washington.

I am thinking that Republicans should quietly support Cory Booker. It would be hard to state with certainty which of that list is the most radical Marxist, but Booker is probably most likely to show himself as a complete idiot. Not that he needs any help.

“Joe Biden and Corey Booker are jokes,”

They ALL are. Seriously, Trump will get re-elected if any of these clowns become the official nominee.

Where’s Hillary?
In the lead if the Deep State so desires.

Warren is a faster walking version of Hillary.

Oprah cannot be criticized in any way. Do you want to end up like the Papa John founder? Didn’t think so. Being a pariah, bankrupt, despised, shunned and erased from history “is no way to go through life.” (Animal House).

Remember before 2016 got going: “no matter which of the Democrat contenders we examine in our polling data all of them will soundly defeat Donald Trump in the election.”

source: CNN and ALL the “experts”.

“run” in the sense of one dark suited beefy man on each arm and Huma concernedly and lovingly watching from the rear and a gesture from Hlllary to cue the body double to come in—fast.

Or you meant “run” like a legitimate candidate in the election. That way, too.

I believe the 2020 Democrat ticket will be Harris-Booker. It’s everything what the modern Democrat party, as well as Millennials and Generation Y’ers stand for: Socialist, open borders, Anti White and anti America.

They will proabbaly lose in 2020, but that ticket is the wave of the future, by 2028 or 2032, the Democrat-Socialists will be the majority party in America

Elizabeth Warren is 69.
Joe Biden is 75.
Bernie Sanders is 76.
Corey Booker is only 49 - I don’t know how he made this list.

I’m hoping the Democrats will run someone extremely old and from the far-left fringe. I expect President Trump to win reelection against any elitist, but it doesn’t hurt for his opponent to be as feeble and offensive to normal Americans as possible.

It would be wise to remember that no matter who the dem nominee is, they will get 46 or 47% of the vote without lifting a finger.

Doesn’t matter who runs for the D in 2020. They will get clobbered.

Any D serious about becoming president and half a brain will NOt want to be the nominee in 2020... because whoever it is will lose and lose big and if they are serious about seeking the presidency will not want the millstone of being clobbered in 2020 to overcome next cycle.

Serious D’s will be gunning for 2024, and will just use 2020 to get their feet wet and creating a national org they can leverage for 2024 and make sure they are not th final nominee in 2020.
