There are at least two women who i hope run in 2020 primaries

[La Lioness Priyanka]

Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harris.

I know that Amy Klobuchar is relatively conservative, but I hope she runs too.

And of course Tammy Duckworth.

Well I guess that's 4 women.

(i didn't say liz warren, because i suspect she will be too old. I could be wrong.)

[shenmue]

1. All worthy

[rurallib]

2. yep - had my eye on Harris from the day she told the voting machine companies

to give the state control of the machines or come pick them up.

Warren will be just past 71 which these days is still a good fighting age.
My spidey sense says she will be the front runner and will be interested.
If Warren is in I am supporting her.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. If Harris or Gillibrand is in, I'll have trouble determining between those two

I think 71 is way too old for first time run

[rurallib]

4. Those you listed are all excellent choices

I have actually been trying to think of a man that Dems might run. Right now all I see is O'Malley. Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see real leadership on the male side.

Opposing Trump should allow some real leaders - male or female - to really emerge.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. O'malley, andrew cuomo, castro brothers, xavier becerra

[StevieM]

11. Unfortunately, Becerra seems to have taken himself out of the running by accepting the AG job

in California.

I agree that he would make a very good president.

Cuomo has already said he is not running.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. Four years is a long time for people to change their minds

[moonscape]

14. Wasn't there noise around Cuomo perhaps tangentially

participating in bridgegate coverup?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. None that I know of

[StevieM]

13. I think when Warren hits the campaign trail people will focus on her proposals, not her age. (eom)

[Crunchy Frog]

18. I think she looks and acts a good 20 years younger than her chronological age.

if she keeps it up, I think her age will just be some irrelevant number getting tossed around. At least I hope that we can get beyond seeing an individual as simply a number, gender, or color.

[GoCubsGo]

6. I just hope we have 2020 primary.

Hell, the way things are going, I question whether we'll even get a legitimate 2018 mid-terms, let alone anything in 2020. If we do, any of those women would be good, especially Tammy and Kamala.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. I just hope we have good choices, period.

And lots of them, regardless of gender, next time around.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. There are not enough good choices if there are no

Women or people of color running. It means large sections are systematically being blocked.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Then get busy.

We need the very best regardless of background, ethnicity, gender, age, etc.

Plus, three years will come and go before you know it.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. Get busy doing what?

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. Seeking out as many good Dem candidates as possible.

We can't go down this road again.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. if russians hack any campaign emails and our media jumps up and down about it

no matter who we run, it's not going to be great

[Crunchy Frog]

16. I do not believe Liz is too old

And I will fight for her like a pit bull if she throws her hat into the ring.

[Willie Pep]

17. Yeah 71 is not that old really.

Trump is 70 and Clinton is 69. Some people are still pretty strong into their 70s. I really like Warren and she is probably my favorite for 2020 if she wants to run.

[geek tragedy]

19. I hope we get a bunch of good candidates.

On the one hand I'd like to see Gillibrand run and Cuomo not run.

On the other hand, as a NYer, I want to keep Gillibrand but get rid of Cuomo ASAP.

[Yurovsky]

21. Is Gina Raimondo not a viable candidate?

I know Rhode Island is a small state, but Governors have the advantage of bringing experience as a chief executive in government with them, which is essentially what we are voting for in a POTUS.

Is she too conservative, or too young, or am I missing something?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. i don't know her. that's what you are missing

def not a slight at her.

i was just listing the women i do know about who are fit for office

[Yurovsky]

24. Here's her Wikipedia page...

Doesn't tell me a whole lot, but I'm not a fan of the venture capital background. As far as the public employee pension reform goes, I'd have to learn more about it. On the surface it's troubling, but I don't know the whole story.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Raimondo

She is certainly from a younger generation of Democratic leaders, which is vital to the party's long-term health. And we don't have a ton of governors to choose from right now. That's something the next DNC chair needs to place a high priority on. We are getting our asses kicked at the state level in far too many places.

[Vinca]

25. Yikes - if Warren will be old at 71, I'll be the crypt keeper.

70 is the new 50.

[DemocraticWing]

26. I want Tammy Baldwin.

She's got a long progressive track record and won Wisconsin.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. how long are we talking? experience and a long career are no longer the things

that make people presidential.

[coolbreeze77]

28. Harris probably could be the future the others are either too old or too moderate.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

29. I like Gillibrand, but she has too much baggage

It is hard to put a positive spin on working for Phillip Morris.

I really like Kamala Harris, but I don't think she is going to run in 2020 if ever.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. I like that that's too much baggage

When pussy grabbing and overt racism wins you the White House

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

31. I think we're dealing with slightly different audiences

"Tobacco Industry Lawyer" and umpteen variations on that is going to be a pretty hard label too shake among Democrat primary voters.
