Which Democratic candidates will buck the leftward march during the primaries?

[Mr. Morden]

This is one of many stories about the 2020 Dems moving left:

Rhetorically at least, Booker, Gillibrand, and Harris now agree with Bernie Sanders on nearly every domestic issue.  If they all had a debate today, there'd be very little on which they disagreed.

Health care, guaranteed employment, free college, minimum wage, legalized pot, etc.  They're all reaching alignment on these issues.

OTOH, you also have a bunch of likely 2020 Democratic candidates (O'Malley, McAuliffe, Castro, Garcetti, etc.) who haven't matched the leftward march on all of these things, probably just because they're not in Congress, and so it's not expected for them to promote specific policy proposals like that (yet).  So will all of these other likely 2020 Dems agree with the Senators on the aforementioned issues once their formally declare their candidacy and have their own issue platforms, or will some of them buck the trend?  And who would buck the trend and on which issues?

I'm just wondering if there are going to be *any* 2020 Dems whose stated policy positions are closer to Clinton 2016 than Sanders 2016.

The mayors, too, but they'll run on generic "getting things done," instead of specific policy platforms.

I mean, at some point they'll have to offer some policy specifics.  Otherwise, what will they say when asked about some of these things in debates?

"Should we have single payer health care?"  "Maybe"
"Should there be a federal jobs guarantee?"  "Maybe"
"Should marijuana be legalized?"  "Maybe"

You can dodge on some of this stuff, but you've got to have some specifics on *something*.
