Democrats Prep For 2020

[DonViejo]

Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand all made strategic moves last week to strengthen themselves ahead of potential presidential runs.

Elizabeth Warren made a surprise appearance at a conference of American Indians. Cory Booker swore off accepting money from corporate political action committees. Kirsten Gillibrand signed onto a bill that would legalize pot.

Almost two years before the 2020 presidential primaries kick into gear, Democrats with possible designs on the White House are taking preparatory steps to get their political houses in order.

That entails burnishing their progressive credentials, mitigating their political vulnerabilities and positioning themselves as leaders on the issues driving the national conversation.

It may be too early to make a decision on a 2020 campaign, but it's never too soon for an ambitious politician to fortify their unique brand and alleviate a nagging weakness. In fact, it's smarter to do it now then to try to catch up amid the frenzy of a campaign later.

1. I will not vote for Gillibrand.

I think her popularity has plummeted after what she did to Al Franken

Why does Warren keep saying she isn't interested and then acts like she could be running?
