One months from now, most of the contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination will have officially declared their intention to run, according to NBC News. In a report published Friday, NBC News said that Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Corey Booker are all planning to announce their campaigns next month, while a handful of other contenders are also gearing up for campaign launches of their own.
The reason candidates are planning to announce so early in the cycle really comes down to one factor: Money, as NBC explained. Particularly in what's expected to be an intense battle of attrition between potentially more than a dozen candidates, the candidates with the biggest purses will have a distinct advantage.
Many potential Democratic candidates have circled January or early February on their calendars as the ideal launch window early enough to try to raise an impressive amount of money in the first quarter of the year without stepping on November's midterm elections.
Meanwhile, Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California are all also quietly preparing for potential campaign launches in early 2019, people close to them have said.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders - the two leading candidates according to the opinion polls - have said they will decide whether to seek the nomination by the end of next month. According to the latest poll of likely Iowa caucus-goers, Biden holds a commanding lead. However, many politicos have pointed to his age (he's currently 76) as a factor (even though another poll showed that Biden is the only serious Democratic contender who would have a chance against Trump).

But it's finally her turn right?
Three losers.
“What? The smartest woman in the world is not running?”
The eventual Democrat nominee will pull out of the race with four weeks till the election. The DNC will recruit Hillary to replace the candidate. She will say no, but the recruitment effort will be so great by the American people, she will turn into the reluctant warrior, here to save the country.
With 4 weeks left, no need to travel around the country campaigning. No need to debate.
That’s the only way Hillary will ever be President. And it is possible it will play out this way.
Now they get to start raising money. Lots and lots of money.
Loser, loser and loser.
NEXT...
.
Do not underestimate the future comedic value of the Warren run.
The jokes and commentary on sites like FR will yield deep belly laughs for many months, especially when she gets really desperate that she has no traction amongst the brain-dead Dem electorate.
Three sure losers......
It doesn't matter how large a font you use, Kamala Harris will face no serious challenge to her eligibility should she decide to run.

“The eventual Democrat nominee will pull out of the race with four weeks till the election. “
I can’t picture one of the Democratic candidates, who are pure ego personified, ever pulling out of anything. They would have to be dead. Of course, there have been an astonishing number of deaths that were fortuitous for Hillary. Still, by a few weeks from the election, and after the debates, the Democratic candidate will have Secret Service protection. That means the accidents that seem so common for people who know something that could be bad for Hillary won’t do. It would have to be something like a plane crash that kills not only the candidate but plenty of associates, agents and the press. Even that would be hard to arrange.
On the other hand, I suspect that by 2020 Hillary’s health will be so bad that even without campaigning and debates, she won’t be able to perform adequately to attract any votes.
On a side note, We The People, are better off for the many, many candidates that will be fielded by the Democrats. They will cut, stab and hack at each other until they have little or no blood left. Then, they will face The Donald.
Harris..ineligible, ain’t gonna happen no more, imho
Booker.. smart guy, but far too leftist for my taste.. perhaps he could at least moderate his views if he stays in the Senate long enough?
FakeInjunSquaw....ha ha har har har....no comment necessary, she’s disqualified herself long time ago
if that’s the best the D party machine can come up with in the way of candidates, they’re in real trouble!
Elizabeth Warren's running mate
