So which Democrat would President Donald Trump most like to run against in 2020?
He says it’s Joe Biden. Trump tells CBS News in an interview broadcast Thursday that “I dream about Biden.”
Biden, who was vice president under Barack Obama, sought the Democratic presidential nomination twice but eventually dropped out of each race. Biden considered running in 2016, but decided against it, citing the trauma of his son Beau’s death from cancer in 2015.
Now Biden is seen as a possible 2020 Democratic contender. And unlike Obama, he’s shown no reluctance to criticize Trump directly.
Trump returned some of the criticism in the interview, saying Obama took Biden “out of the garbage heap, and everybody was shocked that he did. I’d love to have it be Biden.”
A spokesman for Biden declined to comment.

If you translate this from Trump-speak, it means that Trump is afraid that Biden will beat him. Biden will of course ignore him either way and base his decision on what the people in his own party tell him.
Remember that Trump lost the popular vote by 2.7 million votes. There are a lot of outraged Democrats out there, especially since Trump has started doing his best to trash the US, and it appears likelier that there’s monkey business going on between him and Putin. The question is, will they turn up on election day? If they do, maybe the Republican Party will be forced to get its act together and stop groveling to Trump (who evidently has trouble standing up to old KGB spies). Eisenhower would have had the whole lot in the stockade on dereliction of duty charges. 🙂
