Whom Will Democrats Nominate in 2020? Place Your Bets
American Thinker ^ | 09/21/2018 | By Thomas O'Malley

Posted on 09/21/2018 8:04:05 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Difficult as it may be to believe, the 2020 election is right around the corner. Candidates began announcing they were running for the 2016 election in the first few months of 2015, so expect candidates for the upcoming presidential election to announce they are running in early 2019.

The Republican primaries are likely to be uneventful. Donald Trump remains popular among Republicans, so any NeverTrump who runs against him in the primaries won't pose much of a threat. The Democratic primaries are another matter. After Hillary Clinton's defeat in the last election, the Democratic Party has been leaderless, and a definitive frontrunner is yet to emerge. As of right now, the four most likely candidates for the Democratic nomination in 2020 are Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris.

Biden is the most popular of all the potential candidates and would pose the most serious threat to Trump. Biden could win back the white working class for the Democrats, and the fact that he was vice president under Barack Obama would help him greatly in both the primaries and the general election, since Obama is still very popular among Democrats. Biden was mentioned as a possible candidate in the 2016 election but announced in October 2015 that he would not run. Perhaps he didn't want to divide the establishment wing of the Democratic Party so Clinton would more easily gain the nomination. With her having lost in 2016 and presumably out of the picture for 2020, maybe Biden will see himself as the logical successor to the establishment Democratic banner and run.

However, he may not receive the nomination. Biden is a white male in a party that increasingly despises white males and wants to see more diversity in its leadership.

My bet is Kamala Harris. She will have the CA Delegation and she is a vicious conniving politician. The Republicans would be smart to fear her and work to head her off early in the process.

It’s over-qualified to be a dim.

Biden called people who support Trump the dregs of society the other day. That should win over Democrats who voted for Trump in 2016.

The media keeps telling us that Biden is popular...why did he do so poorly when he ran for President?

Depends on how many they toss in the Cesspool.

On that I’ll say 23 options.

And hitlary will claw and scratch out of the dumpster one way or another. Simply because “it” thinks it’s Owed to “it” from the last time.

A black female who claims to have been:

1. Sexually groped by a Republican.

2. Racially discriminated against by a Republican.

3. Her boyfriend was shot by a Republican police officer.

It will be Michael LaVaughn (Robinson) Obama, the former first husband.

I don’t see how it could be a white male. Sorry Uncle Joe, back to groping women for you.

Corey Booker? Kamala Harris? Fauxahontas?

I better start buying popcorn, whoever it is the debates will be a blast!

Biden, the plagiarist, racist, and race baiter ( “They’re gonna put y’all in chains”)

I would strongly urge the Democrat party to nominate Hillary Clinton. She was cheated out of the nomination in 2008 and out of the presidency in 2016. It is her turn and she is entitled to one more chance.

Kamala Harris

Unless...

Eric Holder runs and barky comes out in full support of his good friend. Then Holder would win.

I agree, the Democrats are going to let all these other people duke it out for a while and then trot out Michael (aka “Michelle”) Obama for the good of the country.
