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.

The Young Kennedy from Mass. with Harris from California as VP. The game is youth vs Age—like it was in 1960.
Lol!!
On that last image: Motel 6 is missing a shower curtain.
I think she is a pretty good bet. Additionally, since she is (I believe) not a natural US citizen, and black(ish) and a woman, the opportunity to invoke a completely chaotic, debilitating, and violently contentious s**tstorm of towering proportions will probably be completely irresistable for the left.
That said, I would have to consider her dangerous.
Andy Cuomo, who will lose in the general election.
It will be a race between Harris and Warren with Harris winning by a nose.
Nah. White males need not apply from this point on.
You’ve got to have high levels of melanin and/or a vagina, otherwise the Dem nomination ain’t yours.
“she is (I believe) not a natural US citizen, and black(ish)”
Obama paved the way, as he is all of these things.
“The game is youth vs Agelike it was in 1960.’
Nixon and Kennedy were contemporaries.
.
I was going for Slow Joe with Harris as VP, but I dont watch the news and his virulent dregs clip was the first Ive seen him in a long time. Honestly he looks embalmed and I see his appearance cutting against him
Booker / Harris 2020!............................
Not necessarily. If you are a woman with a penis dangling between her legs, you are welcome too.
“Not necessarily. If you are a woman with a penis dangling between her legs, you are welcome too. “
So the Obama known as “Michelle”?
Harris may be a horrible woman and a worse Senator, but she was 11 or 12 when Willie stopped living with his wife and they went their separate ways. His kids were grown-up by the time he met Harris.
Whomever the Democrats nominate, all their energizing force will spring forth from the Trump Derangement Syndrome.
And this shall blind them, in ways they cannot even conceive happening. To them, Trump is this Bogeyman, a faceless creature that haunts their nightmares day and night, and they will attack what they THINK Trump is, not on any substantive issues.
And this is where Trump has them. Their message can only be negative, because virtually everything Trump touches, though it may seem electrifying at first, has a way of turning positive within a very short period of time, as consider the Korean situation. People were crying and wetting their pants that Trump was going to “take us to war”. Surprise, Kim Jong Un was brought up short, and the shock effect was great enough that he finally realized the old tactics and strategies would not work with Trump. He almost hastily agreed to many things that had been sticking points for DECADES, and Trump even pressured the Chinese to help with this “persuasion”.
Harris seems too brittle, too unlikable.
I suppose it will be Biden, but you can't rule out health problems for Biden or Sanders, both in their Seventies.
So it may be Warren. She will energize the base, but I don't see her winning.
Don't count out Bloomberg, or some other dark horse, or a strong-ish third party race.
Interesting. I went by the meme. Thanks for the info.
