The “Who is running in 2020?” tea leaves thread, Part 2

[Mr. Morden]

None of the likely 2020 Dems will be on the Sunday news shows this weekend.

Correction: Looks like Terry McAuliffe was a late addition to the list of guests on State of the Union:

For me if he runs Tim Ryan would be the best against Trump. He's a dark horse and not a lot of ppl  is really talking about him yet.

Hes someone young (44) from Rust Belt , not charismatic as Obama but not as bad as Clinton and can reunite Bernie sups and Clinton sups.

Honestly i hope he runs.

He wants to be the speaker of the house.
If not,he would run for ohio governor and won.

That is very good news for her. If she manages to be competitive with the African American vote she'd be a formidable force.

I was watching some videos of Tim Ryan from about 2006 on YouTube and he seemed like a very decent speaker. I think he should for Ohio governor first at least, but who knows what his plans are.

[Mr. Morden]

Apparently, Hickenlooper was asked about 2020 in an interview with Chuck Todd about a week and a half ago, and said that he was "thinking about it":

The signs that Cory Booker is getting ready to run for president

Cuban was at the one year anniversary party for Axios.  Standing next to Valerie Jarrett here, he looks like he's a bit underdressed compared to the other attendees:



At the event, he was asked about 2020, and said this:

I hope Bullock runs, he's one of my favorite potential 2020 Democratic candidates, and he's more progressive than some people here seem to think.
