Predicitons for Democrat candidate in 2020?

Plot twist: Paul Ryan escapes the bear's clutches, remains butthurt, cucks out hardcore by defecting to the Democratic party, runs against Trump in 2020, gets thumped harder than Bill did for lusting after Ivanka, begs for forgiveness, but is fed to a family of grizzlies instead.

You guys suggesting a White Male candidate for the Dems must not be paying attention to what's happened on the Left. We might not see a White Male presidential nominee for the Dems ever again. People point to Sanders and the success he had attracting the many white working class and progressive types, but he couldn't even win his own primary! Identity politics rules the Democrats, so it will be someone non-white, female, and probably on the younger side relatively speaking.

I am going out on a limb here, but I will say Jerry Brown. I know he's "too old." But something like that won't stop him from running. Jerry is still pretty spry and alive for his age. Plus, he absolutely, positively hates Trump. These two factors alone could motivate him to run again.

Michelle Obama won't run.
It was easy to see Hillary was obsessed with public office as First Lady as she interjected with policy making. She tried to get a failed health care bill going as well. It was obvious that she wanted some seat in elected office in the future.
Michelle Obama just going to chill. I can't even see her doing TV or anything like that. I am sure Oprah would give her her own TV show on her network but I don't even get the vibe she would take that freebie.
She just going to chill and make cash of speaking.
Who you think was wearing the pants in the relationship (lol) when Obama was working as a community organizer making no cash ruining bingo nights in the hood. She was a layer as well and she was paying most of the bills when Obama running bingo nights. I remember reading for a while she was footing the mortgage on their Chicago home for a while. That is likely why she tried to leave him. Women don't like being the breadwinners.

Obama has no functional frame. That's not really a surprise to anyone here, I'd hope.
If you're not fucking her, someone else is.

if Bruce Springsteen ran for the democrats in 2020 it would be awesome but I suspect he's more into working class issues than identity politics unlike present day leftists.

The Logan Act is a law that prohibits unauthorized persons from negotiating with foreign governments having a dispute with the US. It's unlikely that she did because she's not in a position to wield any influential power.
Her father co founded a nonprofit called "Stop Promoting Homosexuality America".
The very nature of politics makes it appeal to people who are crooked as fuck, I doubt she's an exception. If Clinton got within spitting distance of the White House with her known level of corruption, it's unlikely that Gabbard's corruption will do much harm.
She was also the second democrat to meet with Trump and his transition team right after the election.

Tulsi doesn't have the support of the Dem establishment, if the events of the last week are any indication. She could be the Sanders-type to peel off those voters, but she doesn't seem to have the "wow" factor to push it in do-or-die election cycle. She's also from Hawaii which is pretty distant from most of America so regionally I'm not sure what her appeal would be. Trump would stump her worse than Hillary.
Either way, WB

She will need a billionaire backer if she's not going to toe the line.

Avenatti will run. I don't think this thread mentions him. Unfortunately, his brand – at this point basically a reckless hatred – will appeal with democratic voters who just want to see someone lash out at Trump.
This guy is really unprincipled, and I fear that he would be a disaster for the country.

Avenatti failed the mob in the Battle of Kavanaugh. He's done as a force on the left.
At this point anyone with any idea is deluding themselves. It's going to be a painful circus this coming year and not one I'm looking forward to. If you thought the 2015 Republican search was a clown car, you've seen nothing yet.
Some of the names I've seen floating around....
1. Elizabeth Warren - Goofy 1/1024 Pocahontas' brand is dead and this election delivered terrible results for people too far to the left. She's done as a viable contender unless there's a recession or something.
2. Cory Booker - Spartacus killed his brand in the Battle of Kavanaugh. He's a laughing stock. And as we've seen, blacks don't flock to the polls just because you're black or they would have done it with Gillum and Abrams.
3. Kamala Harris - Didn't do as much damage to herself as Booker did in the Battle of Kavanaugh. Possibly a viable contender, but can still easily tip over into the outright crazy territory in the next year or so. Again, the far left in this election was beaten badly. It just doesn't appear that way on the surface. Can she exercise self-control not to veer there?
4. Beto - That he came so close in Texas should send some alarm bells off. With him the media demonstrated that they can still create a ghost in the machine, since I don't actually believe he's above average charismatic on his own (correct me if I'm wrong). Could be a threat ordinarily in getting female votes, but not only did he lose and run too far to the left, more importantly, he's a white male. That's almost persona non grata on the left now.
5. Joe Biden - Probably too old and he didn't have success as social proof in this cycle. Also a white male.
6. Bernie Sanders - Probably too old and again, this election rebuked self-avowed socialists. Also a white male.
7. Michael Bloomberg - Zero charisma but has a well-known brand and unlimited money to get his message out. Smart and successful. Could well be a potential threat to get a lot of people in the center who are tired of this political polarization. However...he's a white male and not insane, which is a double whammy against his prospects. A white male that also isn't insane isn't welcome in the Democratic Party.
8. Sherrod Brown - The only Democrat with success in Ohio (the rest of the party got crushed there). He could be a threat because he's very popular with Trump's working class base. But he's also not particularly exciting. And he's, again, a white male.
There are more names out there, for sure. There's going to be dozens. I'm sure this thread will get more activity then.
