2020 Democrat Presidential Candidates?

Here's my early list to take on Donald Trump in 2020.  I feel like Dems will want a fresh face, so I suspect that we won't see another Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders run, and I also think Joe Biden's window has closed.  So with that being said, here is the TPSG Top 10 Potential Democratic Presidential candidate names to watch:
  • Elizabeth Warren - The populists populist, she would play well in the rust belt states. 
  • Sherrod Brown - A rust belt state populist with a strong following. 
  • Cory Booker - Popular, charismatic, a populist, strong minority appeal. 
  • Amy Klobuchar - A well respected, pragmatic liberal with bipartisan appeal. 
  • Kirsten Gillibrand - Women and the LGBT community love her.  
  • John Hickenlooper - Middle American Governor who legalized marijuana. 
  • Andrew Cuomo - Governor of a large liberal state that is doing quite well. 
  • Kate Brown - Her state has become a liberal petri dish and is performing well doing so. 
  • Al Franken - Name appeal, sharp as a whip, not afraid to take people on.  
  • Tim Kaine - He won a lot of fans in the 2016 campaign.  
I really like most of the names on this list, I would easily vote for any of them over Donald Trump in 2020.  Of the names above, I suspect that Warren, Brown, Booker and Klobuchar would have the edge, but if Kate Brown keeps Oregon humming along like she has, I think she could become a solid sleeper bet.  Mark Cuban is another name to watch, although nobody is quite sure if he's even a Democrat.
