The “Who is running in 2020?” tea leaves thread, Part 3

I feel bad for Eric Swalwell, he seems like a nice guy and is a progressive FF, but his 2020 campaign will be such a dud. He is just some random congressman from CA. His Facebook live event had less than 30 views. He will go down as a Jim Gilmore type figure.

It's kind of hilarious that the 3 representatives from Alameda county will consist of a candidate and co-chair for 2 other campaigns.

Moulton will decide by May, says he won't give up his House seat for now.

I have no idea why the guys with the lowest name ID are waiting the longest. Considering the debate criteria they should be getting in as early as possible.

Delaney has been campaigning for 2 years, and he was 0% in the latest poll, so it doesn't really matter.

Swalwell sticking to "end of the month":

I assume anyone announcing at the end of the quarter will probably set it up so they don't report anything to the FEC for the quarter.

Bullock reiterates that while he might run for president, he has no interest in a run for Senate:

Bullock acknowledged that some in his party have urged him to challenge Daines, but he thinks there are other Democrats who could take that seat. Besides, he says, he doesn’t want that job.   

“I’ve expressed all along [that] I just don’t have an interest in running for U.S. Senate,” Bullock said. “I think that my skill set, and what I’ve done, I just wouldn’t enjoy it, so I’d ruled it out.”

Damn...Democrats really could have used another potential pickup opportunity.

And his odds in the Presidential primary are so bad that he'd have a much better chance of becoming Senator than President.
