An unprecedented 45 Democrats are jockeying for the party's nomination to challenge President Trump in 2020 shattering the record for the number of candidates aspiring to be commander in chief.
A review of potential contenders by the Washington Examiner reveals that up to 45 candidates could mount a serious bid to become leader of the free world. While many will undoubtedly decide against formally entering the race, most Democratic strategists expect at least two dozen to do so.
Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, co-chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, said recently that the 2020 presidential contest could draw up to 40 Democratic hopefuls. Look, well have between 30 and 40 great candidates running for president, he told MSNBC. Everyone recognizes how urgent this moment is in our countrys history.

35 of them are under 1%.
What strategy would u come up with if you were one of these 3rd tier prospects?
Favorite sons and regional candidates.
Makes it harder for a new name to emerge. Which never happens anyway.
We have Babe Ruth in the oval office.
The democrats have a bunch of AAA pitchers.
Trump will give them a “thrashing” in 2020.
“LOl, the only message they have is I hate Trump.”
Oh, I don’t know about that. There’s the ever popular we’ll-take-your-guns, Let’s get rid of ICE and throw open the borders, let’s all (of you) give up YOUR cars and lower YOUR carbon footprint, and the awesome, we’ll-teach-your-eight-year-old about anal sex.
Sounds like a winner to me.
Good. Let the whole Politiburo run against him. Each one is a kook.
Moochelle vs Clinton with Beto and Harris as VP material...
The others will be distractions.
Soros will bet on Moochelle.
As I have said the scenario will be this:
Bus pulls up to the gate of arena where Democrat debate will be held;
Guard steps on and asks for tickets to event;
Bus drivers says, “They are all Democrat who will be in the debate”
Guard says, “Well the stage is already filled so they will have to sit in the first two rows.”
It will be so much fun to watch.
Spartacus vs Bernie!
Fake Mexican Beto vs Real Mexican Julian Castro
Dopey Joe Biden vs Fauxahontas
Atom Bomb Eric vs NXIVM Gilly
Just remember when there is a huge field of candidates and one of them wins a primary w/ 15% of the vote, that means that 85% of voters did not like that candidate. Winners are really losers
Virtual unknown Barack Obama used the Iowa caucuses to make his candidacy legitimate.
This cycle, unknown Maryland Congressman John Delaney has already visited all 99 Iowa counties trying to build grass roots support for a run at the Dem nomination.
In a way kind of reminds me of Brazil. We were there for part of the previous presidential election. The owner of the house where we were staying said there were 34 political parties in Brazil and all of them had the words communist or socialist in their name. The winner of the last election party is “none of the above.”
You stole my line there are 3 factions crazy crazier and craziest not sure who belongs to which
I’d say the strategy has to be get famous anyway you can.
Attacking the President is an obvious route but it would have to be a pretty psychotic attack to stand out in this atmosphere. Maybe dress up like a “Handmaiden” and try to go egg Trump tower.
Proposing some Sandy Cortez level Maoist BS would win Congressman Nobody McNothing some supporters, even Bernie is too temperate for much of the rat base.
