    Both Hillary and Trump would love to run again.

    In fact I'm 100% certain Hillary still has a few cards left to pull in the Party to try to get the nomination again, though that doesn't mean she will.

    Incumbency is a massive advantage in Presidential elections. The incumbent very rarely loses.

    Trump is polling 7 points above where he was on election day 2016.

    Lots of unfounded hype going around at the moment, but none of it will hit the wall.

    Dems will impeach such that the timing is right that the Senate cannot acquit before the election.

    Who wins 2020 depends entirely on who the Dems nominate.

    All the dems have to do to pull a landslide is run an America First candidate.

    I believe Donny should just ride into a sunset and enjoy his retirement for his family's sake.The GOP should nominate Nikki Haley in case Trump calls it a day.

    She was too well trashed by the Russian Troll bots and that has left a bad taste in a lot of mouths plus she became toxic to the Trumpettes who would pick up where the Russians left off.

    Michelle Obama has a better chance and that would be astounding if a black woman were to run.

    IF they are nominated - Bush 1 springs to mind

    Planet America Chas pointed out that Indiana - one of the first to hold the run off elections is rigging it so that Trump will basically be the only GOP candidate

    HillBill wont be in the Mix...nobody wants her anymore.
    Trump wont be in the mix due to ineligibility (felony conviction).

    George H.W. Bush definitely will not be running. However, that won't stop him from voting Democrat in the next election.

    That is a lie

    There is no way to measure what the nation's Trump popularity as it was on election day...except for another election.

    Who is not dirty in the U.S establishment?It's almost impossible to find a person who didn"t break either U.S laws or intetnational laws.Considerably less dirty than Hillary.

    No excuse!!!

    It is the old “But he did it tooooooo!” Defence which did not work in kindergarten

    An elected official is a public servant and we should hold public servant to a higher standard.

    Ask yourself -

    Are you happy with corruption in government?
    Are you OK with politicians lining their own pockets with YOUR money?
    Are you happy that someone like Trump is setting the tone by which you will all be judged?

    If this level of corruption is not addressed then it will continue. What if the next president is democrat and so crooked that they could not lie straight in bed (Mind you I think that describes Trump but....) Would you be happy with them being elected president?

    Do you spend any time complaining about your own government?

    Of your list, only Warren would run. Hillary, Bernie and Joe are too old, their time has come and gone. The Trump/Pence ticket will try again. As for running, I think you will have 3 or so Democrats from California running, one from Hawaii, perhaps one from Illinois and a couple more from the northeast.

    Trump could be challenged which would be good news for the Democrats. History shows that when a sitting president is challenged within his party, he either loses the general or the nominee who replaced him loses the general. No sitting president who was challenged within his own party since WWII has won.

    He knows no such thing nor do you.
    Unless Trump checks out via heart attack he will run. Interesting almost every one on your list on the D side except Avenati will run unless hillary does., assuming of course that one or more don't shuffle off this mortal coil before hand. All of them being more than sufficiently old enough to get their ticket punched at any moment and the ruber chicken circuit is bad for your health.

    Trump must run if he does not want to be indicted.

    He is though running more than 5 points lower than that at which he was elected.
