The Hill ^ | May 8, 2017 | Lisa Hagen

The 2020 presidential election could feature the most crowded Democratic primary in decades, with scores of Democrats rumored as potential contenders.

The potential field could see some familiar faces as well as a mix of ambitious senators, governors and House members. But President Trump’s success as an outsider could also embolden more nontraditional candidates from the business and entertainment industries.

With no clear leader, the 2020 field should be a change from 2016, when Democrats had a small field of candidates, including front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Here are 43 possible candidates who could take on Trump in 2020:

Former Vice President Joe Biden: Biden, 74, said he “regretted” not running in 2016. He stoked major speculation about 2020 with a busy travel schedule but later said, “Guys, I’m not running!”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.): Sanders, 75, emerged as a leader on the left after his 2016 presidential run, and he’s working with the Democratic National Committee to help unite the party. He wouldn’t rule out a 2020 run but said in January it’s “much too early” to discuss another bid.

With all the derisive talk about the GOP clown car, what do we call this procession of vacuous non-talent? The circus train? The world’s longest short bus?

Rush Limbaugh hasn’t coined much new material lately but his contention that the media are now the primary opposition with a few Dem politicians as figureheads is fairly sound. Not much else will explain the swooning over a load of broken-down 60s rejects being hailed as ‘the future.’

What a long list.

I don’t recall seeing Hillary’s name on the list. Are they just assuming that Hillary will not run?? Or couldn’t get the Dem. nomination if she did run in the primaries???

Does anyone think that if Hillary had won we’d see the increase in jobs and improvement in unemployment along with records in the stock market?

They have to first figure out what is the Democratic Party today. Will it be the anti-White party?

It would not surprise me that much if Ivanka runs against her dad as a DemoRAT.

“New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu: Landrieu, 56, called the a New York Times story about him considering a run “hysterical.” He gained notoriety after defending the removal of Confederate memorials in New Orleans.”

That’s funny.
