The 2016 presidential election was just 11 months ago, and President Trump has yet to finish his first year in office, but politicians -- including the president himself -- are already looking ahead to 2020.

President Trump filed paperwork for reelection on Inauguration Day, and -- as long as a political scandal larger than anything we've seen yet or the Russia investigation doesn't bring him down -- he's showing so far that he intends to run for a second term.

Biden, who left the White House with a 61 percent approval rating, according to Gallup, has expressed his regret for not running against Donald Trump in 2016. Many pundits believe he was perhaps the only Democrat who would have won handily.

"I regret it every day," Biden said in January 2016 about his decision to stay out of the race.

Last month, Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, said her father is considering a 2020 run. Biden, who would be 78 by Inauguration Day 2021, hasn't totally ruled out the idea publicly.....

All of them!! Every single race-baiter, man-hater, public bathroom masturbator.

Hedley Lamarr put it best: I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, ****-kickers and Methodists.

"Public opinion polls continue to show Mr. Trump's approval ratings are stuck in the high 30s" There is the requisite false premise that every fake news outlet is based upon.
