Long List of Top Democrats Have 2020, and Money, on Their Minds

From The Old Gray Lady, by Reporters Kenneth P Vogel and Rachel Shorey, 2 September 2017.

Third paragraph:

In interviews, more than three dozen leading Democratic donors, fund-raisers and operatives agreed that it was the earliest start they had ever seen to the jockeying that typically precedes the official kickoff to the campaign for the party’s presidential nomination. It is a reflection of the deep antipathy toward President Trump among Democrats, and the widespread belief that the right candidate could defeat him, but also of the likelihood that the contest for the nomination could be the longest, most crowded and most expensive in history.

At least they are beginning to figure out that Antifa just generates more Trump voters.  And Senator E Warren is highlighted in Sunday's Boston Globe in a puff piece on her religion,because some of those votes needed are out in Fly Over Country.

Mentioned in the NYT article were:

• Senator Kamala Harris of California
• Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand of New York
• Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia
• Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont
• Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
• Representative John Delaney of Maryland
• Former Vice President Joe Biden

Maybe you have your favorite Democrat candidate for President in 2020.

Hat tip to the Drudge Report.
