I have no idea who will emerge for both parties.

Certainly those who were conned by Trump in 2016 won't be conned again.

Wanna make a side bet? The tendency of the American voter to go with the better liar is deeply entrenched. I find it mind boggling that we may even have a worse selection in 2020 than we had in 2016, but things really have sunk that low. If there are any truly inspiring hopefuls out there I wish they would step forward.

I disagree with that.  I'm pretty sure the majority of people who did vote for Trump will do so again.  The Democrats just need someone who's somewhat likable and competent to be competitive.  Despite what everyone says about 2016, I'm telling you that Hillary's cold persona and inability to be authentic struck people the wrong way.  If the Democrats had someone more likable, they would have won.  I'll make that assertion.  I saw Beto is the recent flavor of the month so I suppose I'll consider him to be a contender.  I'm tough to please so I really need to see the people running and listen to them in the first debate.  You need to impress me by sounding like someone I can relate to and convince me you're intelligent enough to handle the job.  I actually anticipate myself favoring a candidate who doesn't win and being forced to settle for something less appetizing.

Hillary will lose again.

I still find it very interesting that Trump is the odds favorite at +185 with the next closest two Dem picks being Harris at +570 and O'Rourke +590.

But Party odds are Dems -160 and Reps +130.

What, exactly, do the odds-makers know that the public does not know?  Yet.

To me it shows they are not confident in Trump.  If any decent democrat runs and I mean any decent one, they will destroy Trump in 2020.  If you have a bad democrat like 2016 run, then Trump will win.  I would be curious to see the odds for Obama winning reelection in 2012 were around this time.

Hopefully Oprah not happening. My God.

Biden team looking to convince Beto to accept undercard, VP position. The left would suddenly embrace old white privledge if this were to happen. Will also turn blind eye to Bidens bizzare sexual peccadilloes. Two years straight of railing against the very type of people they are looking to nominate. Biden is current fav to get nomination.

Biden's a loose cannon IMO. Put aside his old ideas, he's a contentious dude & doesn't have the personality to bring the country together.

Former Vice President Joe (loose cannon )Biden holds the pole position in the first CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll among likely 2020 Democratic caucusgoers, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke joining him as the only possible candidates in the field with double-digit support.

The new Iowa Poll finds 32% of likely caucusgoers saying they back Biden as their first choice, 19% Sanders, 11% O'Rourke, 8% Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, 5% California Sen. Kamala Harris, with the rest of the 20-person field testing below 5% support.

Its a 11 days until New Years and the Democrats have already lined up the First Democratic Presidential Debates. They will take place the First week of June 2019 and they will not have an Adult Table/Childrens Table but may be a 2- day affair due to the field that may number more then 2 dozen.

Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, co-chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, said recently that the 2020 presidential contest could draw up to 40 Democratic hopefuls. “Look, we’ll have between 30 and 40 great candidates running for president,”

Up to 40...

Someone will have to sit at the kiddie table .........

Oprah Winfrey-approved self-help guru Marianne Williamson have filed Federal Election Commission paperwork to start campaigning.

Even twice shalonged Hillary Clinton has hinted she'd still "like to be president."

OK so if them Dems have 40 then they don't have any. And that's pretty scary because the Reps don't have much in the oven right now either.

People can announce for nothing more than glamour and attention. The field will get to 5 or 6 serious contenders as fast as the Pubs did in '16.

Seattle is pretty neat. I'd say better than most of America so.... And if he is the governor of Washington state, wouldn't his slogan be "Make America Like Washington"? There's more to the state than what the whatever ideas people have about what Seattle is like.

TIME TO BRING BACK THE OBAMA CAGES!

He might have been able to use that before the Rose Bowl..but not now..that's why it would be Seattle..

Biden is expected to announce in a few weeks as academics strategists and the Democratic Party fund raisers quietly pull together possible exploring the possibility of becoming a Primary candidate is now news worthy. Inside I remember Biden and Warren stepping aside for Clinton in 2016. Possibly the annoited team to be on a Oprah ticket.
