Gutierrez was at a rally in San Diego on Saturday, and reiterated that he's thinking about running for president in 2020:

OK, so she's not just doing the college reunion, but also doing a fundraiser there, which I imagine will be an excuse to mingle with NH politicos in anticipation of a potential national run next year.

Sources in Kasich’s orbit say that two options for a 2020 presidential bid are very much on the table: 1) running in the GOP primaries, and 2) running in the general election as an Independent:

I guess, but that would mean having to go to Hanover and who wants to do that drive?

Low energy or not, I think he's going to run.

Thank god, then I don't want more than one major party ticket with people who hear voices.

Duckworth doesn't sound like someone gearing up for a presidential run of her own.  If you're planning to run for president, and someone asks you who would be a good nominee, you either deflect or list about 10 names and say they're all good.  But Duckworth says she's (sort of) on Team Klobuchar, before also saying Sherrod Brown would be good:

So Klobuchar's Midwestern identity politics campaign is working! 

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

lol T-Mac is just another low-energy VA Dem. who care

Low energy or not, I think he's going to run.

T-Mac is way to much of Clintonian beltway hack.

That's kinda disappointing. I think Duckworth would be an extremely formidable candidate and her personal story would help her connect with voters in a way that some random Joe Establishment couldn't.

Booker too IIRC.

Yep, along with, as mentioned in another thread, Sanders and Warren.
