Kelly Ann Conway just conceded the 2016 election

On MJ she said drumph will run again in 2020

And in the context of Rubio running it's a slip up by the slippery one.

She almost sounded crestfallen.

She did not mean he will be running as the incumbent

It took me about 10 minutes for the significance to drop.

Probably about 5 am PST.

...will do EVERYTHING in their power to dissuade tRump from running again. He has been TOXIC to the GOP.

KellyAnne Conjob has been -along with her husband- a charter member of the "HATE the Clintons" club. Her interest is not promoting tRump, but screwing the Clintons.

as I don't think he's good at listening to others.

That said, I expect the GOP/RNC to revise their primary process to get rid of winner take all delegate states and to possibly up the influence of the GOP equivalent of super-delegates to stop a Trump (or a new Trump) from happening again. Plus, his image will be tarnished - possibly by losing the Trump University trial and maybe the potential Trump Foundation trial as well. To say nothing about what happens with all the sexual assault charges against him, or the rape of a 13 year old trial.

So, if he can run again, he will. But, I expect him to go the way of Bobby Jindal or Scott Walker in 2020 - his star has come & gone.

...he would try to run again. HOWEVER, I suspect many other parties may have their own opinions and expectations.

so if he does run in 2020 he better be ready to have his ass kicked again by President Clinton

...her life has been devoted to outlawing abortion and imposing her religious beliefs - she must look at the Supreme Court and weep.
