My dream 2020 Democratic Presidential ticket is....

[Yavin4]

something that I will reveal the day after the 2018 mid terms. So, let's focus on the mid terms, and then we can talk 2020. Just like your parents, eat your vegetables first and then we can have dessert.

And yes, I know who exactly the Dems should run in 2020. This is the ONLY ticket that can win. The ONLY ticket.

1. I hope you are being sarcastic in your second paragraph. Never-the-less, I still don't enjoy using

the sarcasm icon. It just feels weird to me.

There are lots of Democratic tickets that can win. Assuming we have a fair election, which is by no means certain.

3. Nope. Totally serious.

There are NOT lots of Dems that can win. I will say no more.

[StevieM]

4. I think there are lots of candidates that can win. My choice is Tom Steyer.

I also like Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington.

5. No. We're not talking about 2020 until after the mid terms.

Nice try. Eat your veggies.

2. 2018 and any special elections first! No distractions! Good plan.

6. Like your plan!

Let's take back Congress!

7. Eat your veggies!!!! n/t

8. Maybe you should tell that to all the people who are already running for 2020.

And organizing. And talking to funders. And hiring campaign operatives, etc.

9. They can do whatever they want to do.

We have to be focused on the task at hand. 2018 midterms.

[former9thward]

10. Most of us can do both.

The 2020 nominee will be well on their way by the time the 2018 elections are over. For those of us who may want to have some little influence on that race need to get on board now. If you don't care who that may be that's fine too.

[Yavin4]

11. No. We don't do both.

We don't turn out for mid term elections because we're too focused on the presidency.

12. I don't find post #10 to be a contradiction

We, the voting masses, need to concentrate (heavily!) of the 2018 midterms. Anyone contemplating a serious run for the White House probably should be laying the groundwork and getting together a team (VERY quietly), especially if they don't have massive amounts of money at their disposal. But they should be doing this (at this point) out of the spotlight and out of the headlines. The artillery will be pointed in their direction soon enough, and anyone who knows what they're doing will realize that.
