[CookieDamage]

Moulton says he doesn't think a presidential bid is the best way he could serve the country right now.

Here's the relevant exchange:

[Mr. Morden]

That she's considering this was already pretty obvious given her recent Iowa and New Hampshire visits, but the media seemed to be ignoring those for some reason:

While in Iowa, Hickenlooper says there’s a “pretty high probability” that he’ll run:

Seems to me that Julian is in...I don't know what to think about this.

I actually think that Castro will do better then people expect. He'll probably be the only Hispanic at the big debate. (sorry but Virgin Garcetti is going to be on the edge of the undercard debate) No way he's the nominee though. I figure he bets big on Nevada but drops out afterwards.

It is important to consider however, that California will actually be disproportionately represented in the 2020 DEM Primary, since not only did the State jump from the end to the beginning of the Primary Gauntlet, but additionally in theory this could well dramatically change the equation, especially if a Latino-American Democrat were to not only run, but additionally be able to appeal to multiple different constituencies key to the Democratic Base, where California, might well exemplify in many regards....

There is plenty of time on the clock here, but nobody should underestimate the potential electoral shifts that the change in CA-DEM-PRIM calendar will have within the 2020 DEM-PRES primary....

Lol, I'm making a what if timeline on the premise that potential progressive candidates have a pre-primary discussion about which sole person runs. Glad this may be reality

[Mr. Morden]

Garcetti says he'll decide on a presidential run "in the next couple months":

Harris was in Iowa today stumping for Democrats and the crowds were quite impressive for a candidate this early in the stage...

LOL I knew it. Might as well cancel the primaries now; it's going to be a Kamala coronation. Only Bernie could challenge her if he runs.

No poll (albeit not many) has Kamala ahead of Biden, Bernie, or Warren. Ofc she has far less name recognition rn, but I think you're being premature/hyperbolic here. Also, I fail to see how it's a "coronation" considering she's getting grassroots support if those tweets are to be believed.

[Mr. Morden]

The latest national poll has her one point ahead of Warren, ftr:
