NBC News ^ | April 4, 2019 | Ali Vitali

Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, announced on Thursday that he is running for president — the newest name in a still-growing 2020 field of Democratic candidates that boasts more than a baker's dozen.

Ryan, who made the announcement on the web as he was appearing on ABC's daytime talk show "The View," will hold an official campaign kickoff rally with local union leaders in Youngstown, Ohio, on Saturday afternoon, his campaign said — a celebration of his longstanding ties with the working class community and an indication of the kind of labor-friendly campaign he plans to wage.

Makes sense. Run as the more moderate young guy in a swing state who might balance out a Harris ticket as veep if he gets lucky — or otherwise just builds name recognition for his next step up in the political game.

To the best of my knowledge, there is only one potential Democrat nominee left. Yes, you are all correct, it’s RUN JUSSIE RUN!

All low-class grifters with no chance of winning.

Collect and keep campaign cash - get free media, get on debate stage.

These crooks need to resign their offices if they run for POTUS

I was about to say that political parties might need to establish a limit to the number of candidates for any one office. Then, I thought of how many the GOP had last time, before Trump systematically eliminated them all, one by one.

Let me guess. He supports The Green New Deal, the “rich” paying their “fair share,” LGBTPQRS rights, a $30 minimum wage, same sex bathrooms and “Medicare for All.” What did I miss?

Any traction this guy gets will come at Biden's expense.

Bad week for Creepy Joe.

The Democrat Party “Freak Show” of 2020 POTUS candidates rumbles on. And, “Creepy, The Groper” Democrat, Uncle Joe Biden heads the top of the list and Nancy Pelosi & Steny Hoyer adore the 100 percent Biden “ZERO”!!! How dumb can they be?

Oh, I get it now. This “crowded field” is actually only campaign promotion for whomever is left standing.

Of all these candidates, every one of them will be espousing democrat themes and schemes, and each and every one of them will be slamming Trump to no end.

It’s a walking, talking, (advertising) army against Trump, and the Republicans.

90 percent of them know they have no chance, but all are dyed in the wool democrats, watching out for the cause.

It’s a lot of TV time, under the guise of “election coverage”.

Too bad I don’t watch anything to do with the left, or democrats.

I count 18, including Marianne. But not Ginger.

Gropey Joe makes 19.

He’s running for a cabinet spot that he will never receive.

Trump 2020 Landslide.

I can’t wait until Marianne Williamson begins her speech and fund raising tours. She will make Beto look middle of the road and balanced. She fancies herself as some kind of Guru.

I’ve listened to this guy before. He is a good speaker and actually makes sense. He seems quite likeable.

Therefore, he has no chance as a democrat.

The Tim Ryan who used to be a sportscaster for CBS probably has a better shot than this guy.
