Which Democrats could challenge Donald Trump in 2020 presidential election?

That could mean a politically excruciating next two years for many of them and for party leaders trying to chart a legislative path as the new age of Trump begins. That election also saw Democratic majorities in Congress. Yet following their venomous campaign, Trump and Hillary Clinton showed their best sides in their respective post-election remarks.

HOWARD DEAN: What this was was basically a populist revolution. “He’s got commitments to his supporters that helped to get him here and he’ll have to balance those”. But we have to dig in deeper and stay later and have more real conversations and argue amongst ourselves more and really bring our emotions to the surface and really say things that people want to hear – have said.

The election two years from now had already looked hard for Senate Democrats, who must defend 25 seats compared to just eight held by Republicans. How did he fail them? Being a stanch Conservative and one who is not in love with the Republican Party, I told him that if Trump were elected, we had about a 10 percent chance.

DEAN: I don’t think they trusted anybody to be there for them.

And I think it’s time for a fundamental reassessment. Now, before the election, some of them struggled to endorse and sometimes even to defend Donald Trump. [President-elect Donald] Trump’s views are a minority.

The Democratic socialist made the comments as anti-Trump protests were being held across the nation with more demonstrations planned for Sunday afternoon in New York City and Oakland, California.

DEAN: This is supposedly our constituent.

“And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future”, she said.

Given scientists’ warnings about climate change – and the effects they are pointing to right now – “nothing” can not be the policy.

GREENE: Now, there is another party. Well, not much in WikiLeaks really shocked me that Hillary Clinton, you know, was friends with people on Wall Street.

I tell you what I would do, and I would have already done it, but since it isn’t done already, here’s what I would do.

“We’re not going to allow it to happen”.

Well, what we do now is rally millions of young Americans who are sick and exhausted of leaving school, 30, 50, $100,000 in debt, and those who simply can not afford to go to college, and say that in a competitive global economy, it is absolutely imperative that we make public colleges and universities’ tuition free.

“They should be terrified”, Ward Baker, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Senate GOP’s political organization, said of the Democrats. “You’re not going to split us up by attacking our Muslim friends or our gay friends or women or anybody else – we’re going to stand together, and we’re going to fight for a government and an economy that works for all of us”.

GREENE: You feel like the party is talking to more people in NY and California than in places like OH that turned this election. People don’t think big enough! We talked with Kenya Barris a few days ago, the creator of the network sitcom, “Black-ish”, about the conversations he and his staff had in the wake of last week’s election.
