Warning: Any Candidate Considering Running for President as a Democrat in 2020

41. It is directed at neither. There are no declared candidates for 2020.

My post is directed toward those who are considering a run for that office, whoever they might be.

I have no idea who will run in 2020. In many ways, I hope it is someone we aren't talking about right now. I hope it is someone who will energize the entire party and present a positive, fresh plan for progressive changes. I hope it is someone who will attack Republicans, rather than fellow Democrats. I hope it is someone with a vision for the future that offers hope to voters.

I don't know if I'll even be around in 2020, frankly. Since I'm over 70 years old, I no longer plan that far ahead. But, the politics of Presidential elections begins immediately after the previous election, so I'm going to be involved in that process.

Watch for new names to be considered. That, in fact, may be our best hope. We need to sweep the 2020 elections and establish a new majority in both houses of Congress, along with taking back the White House. We need a new vision and new candidates to present that vision. We're on the cusp of a generational change in leadership. I embrace that.

It's time for a fresh look at potential leadership. We had that in 1960 and in 1992. In 2020, I hope to see a generational shift in our Democratic candidate. We need to do that every 25-30 years. We should be looking at Congress and our Governors for potential candidates who are in their 40s and who have proven their leadership abilities, not at people in their late 60s and older.

So, I don't really think that Warren is a great choice for 2020, and doubt very much that Sanders will even consider another run. Let's start looking for real change. There are plenty of potential candidates out there. Let's find one and make that person our champion. That's what I'd like to see.
