Rough ranking of the Top 31 potential Democratic 2020 Candidates

107. He had said on Morning Joe that he was NOT doing anything to run in 2020

and MJ later stated he "did not rule it out". In many interview, he then simply diverted to speaking of 2018 -- because otherwise the conversation stayed with him running. I think there are strong clues that he is NOT running. Type hillaryclinton.com or Joebiden.com and you are sent to their web sites. Type Johnkerry.com and you get a message that there is no website. In 2005 he kept it and in 2006, he expanded the site and even had volunteers moderate it and had a blog. He also has spoken of looking at people running - suggesting he could endorse someone as he did in 2008.

I suspect that now that 2018 is past, he might still make ambiguous comments - as our media is very likely to give him more coverage on his book tour if he does.

That said, IF he started to actively wrong, he could be more popular than many on the list. In fact, while not running, in the poll where he was one of the names, he got 5% beating out many higher on this list. http://pollingreport.com/2020.htm The Ken Burns Vietnam series helps him on Vietnam and he was essential to getting the Paris Accord - and climate change is now a bigger issue. Compared to Clinton, he has very little negative baggage.
