The field of Democrats who could jockey for a White House bid in 2020 is growing by the day, as more and more potential candidates are eyed as possible challengers to President Trump.
Many potential candidates have sought to stand out from the field through vocal opposition to the Trump agenda — voting against the bipartisan two-year budget deal or calling for the president’s resignation.
Here are 36 potential candidates, from top contenders to long shots, who could run in 2020:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
Sanders reportedly met with top advisers in late January to discuss a potential 2020 run. But Sanders said he’s focused on his reelection in 2018. Still, the 2016 Democratic primary candidate hasn’t shied away from opportunities to contrast himself to Trump. The favorite of the Democrats’ progressive wing delivered his own response to the State of the Union address, calling Trump a “bully.” If elected, Sanders would be 79 when taking office in 2021.
Former Vice President Joe Biden
A recent poll of the hypothetical 2020 field showed Biden, who benefits from massive name recognition after two terms as vice president, easily leading the Democratic pack. Biden reportedly said privately that he believes he’s the only Democrat who can beat Trump in 2020. And Biden, who would be 78 in January 2021, publicly weighed the possibility of running on ABC’s “The View” in December.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)
Gillibrand, 51, gained prominence for speaking out against sexual harassment and assault, and has sought to position herself as one of Trump’s leading Senate antagonists by frequently voting against his nominees. After Trump tweeted that she “would do anything” for campaign donations — which many thought had sexual implications — Gillibrand shot back that Trump “cannot silence me” with a “sexist smear.”

All of them are light weights. Sanders rolled over for Hillary.
Only 36? I would swear there are more old Communists than that running loose.
And NOT ONE of them is FIT
To SHINE TRUMP’S SHOES
Will be fun during the debates when Trump walks over to Gillenbrand and hands her a copy of the fundraising letter she sent him years earlier which states “I will do ANYTHING for donations”.
Do they ALL represent the Lollypop Guild?
Most of them will be out of politics or in jail by then.
I am still struggling with POSD (Post-Obama Stress Disorder) after living through his winning TWO presidential elections.
So I don’t dismiss the possibility that any of these 36 potential Democrat candidates could sway the legal and illegal American public sufficiently to win the Presidency in 2020.
I hope to God I’m wrong.
This list is a hoot! And denial ain’t just a river in Egypt!
None of them understand what it means to try to provide a superior service, such as shoe shining.
If Hillary shows up they’ll all be wondering if it’s Rigged again
The more the merrier
I guess Hillary will win by default
Since Hussein Obama’s weaponization of the government against Donald Trump in the 2016 election cycle is a “nothing burger”, president Trump should immediately unleash the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Treasury against these 32 political opponents.
They prefer to get on their knees to pander or fellate, not shine

pick one
Democrat Clown Show Hate-fest PING
(all that vitriol being spewed by this hate-filled bunch, yet not one of them will be talking about actual IDEAS to make the country better ... because they have none, just hate and anger)
and the DNC with no money and debt up to the eyeballs....
Seriously? That's her credentials for running for President? Sheesh, the writer is an air head just like Silly Gilly.
She’s an average-looking Asian chick.
