Hello, present.
I’m over Warren already. She should be an economic advisor, but the DNA test was some racist shit and I’m not here for it. Fuck Bernie too. Kamala and Beto have my interest for sure.
In improbable ideas, I wonder if there’s any chance of a 2020 republican challenger. Maybe it depends how bad Mueller’s report/the lack of resignation is.

Why does everyone always have to diss the ocean bottom feeders? Giant isopods and brittle stars are awesome. I would honestly vote for a hagfish over Donald. And those creatures really are the things of nightmares. #Hagfish2020 Lets make this a trending topic, ok? (I’m only semi kidding)

This is what I dream of, bc it would split the Republican vote, making a Democratic win very likely. But I feel the GOP will ensure it doesn't happen, bc it would split the Republican vote, making a Democratic win very likely.

I love Warren. But not for President. See also, Biden.
I really really really hope we have a real primary, and not one where we go through the motions but everyone knows [insert name] is the presumptive nominee.

Liz Warren would make a great Secretary of Labor, Secretary of the treasury , or CFPB/OMB Director. She's also highly effective in the Senate.

I'm very much team Kamala. I think CA moving its primary to Super Tuesday could help her. I hope, though, that she will get someone like a governor from a swing state or a Sherrod Brown for a running mate bc I think it will help reassure the Obama/Trump voters Kamala has absolutely stolen my heart over the past few years. She’s my #1 choice.

I think Kasich might primary he-who-will-not-be-named. He announced in the last couple of weeks that he will not primary 45. He said that with the make up of today's GOP, he doesn't think anyone can beat the orange one for the nomination, which is probably true and depressing as hell. Kasich could always change his mind, but I don't know how likely that is. He would have to get some big name donors behind him because I think the Mercers are still all in on 45.

I love Biden, so so much. With that said the only scenario I could get behind is the one dc2london described. But the very last thing I want is two super old white dudes yelling at each other in debates. Fucccck no. We need youth on our side no matter what.

I have to say I don’t think I could bring myself to vote for a silverfish over 45. But I also couldn’t vote for him. I would need to support a write in campaign in that scenario.

I know you didn’t ask me, but 🤪...I don’t think he’s going to run. I think him and Harris are coordinated. I think she will run now and he has eyes on something in the future. Gov of CA is huge and he has wanted that forever. He’s kids are itty bitty young (4 of them) and I just don’t think it’s his time.

They are still throwing Garcetti's name around and I am very...meh about it. He's not horrible, I would just rather have Harris.

In other news, the presser Warren held today was periscoped and she was totally (IMO) upstaged by the gleefully wagging tail of her 7 month old golden retriever. It's worth a watch. misspatty YWIA

I deeply love Amy Klobuchar and I think she’d be a perfect VP and then step into POTUS. She’s so smart and efficient and just good at her job. Her 2018 win margin in MN was huge.
Problem is I think there’s no way to do something in 2020 without it being a choice between her and Kamala. And I also really respect Harris.
But Kamala, Klobuchar, Beto and Biden are my tops right now.
I think Bernie is in a weaker position now than he was before but I’d also don a wool sweater and vote for him if he became the nominee.
