Joe Biden has a long history of being able to work with Congress, both as a member and through two terms as Vice-President. He would be effective in articulating the things he wants done.

That will drive him insane.

Well, more insane than he is.

But I don't think we're going to see him running in 2020. I think he's going to be 'retired' by then. I hope, anyway. I want him to resign in disgrace, as Nixon did. At first I wanted impeachment and conviction, but now I think it would be best if he slinks off yelling into the wilderness but no one listening anymore.

Perhaps a current governor or AG or something - totally under the radar

To suggest he'd be afraid of any potential candidate assumes he's capable of thinking rationally. He's not. He never does.

He does not respond to fear in the way most people do. He becomes aggressive and self aggrandizing. Trump is afraid that anyone will get more attention than he will. He is afraid of any and all potential challengers despite the false bravado.

Even though, I doubt he's running.

If we wins the Senate seat it's unlikely he will run but if he loses the senate race... 2020!!!!! (I hope)

Harris would also be a great pick. She's not as easy to make fun of like Hillary Clinton. Trump won his audience in part because he's a showman. He'd take digs at Hillary Clinton because she had so much baggage. There's not much digs you can take a Harris.

He knows how to destroy uppity women. An alpha male fighter Like Avenetti is another matter. But Avenatti is not going to be a factor if the lying side can help it. They've already got the long knives out for him.

Trump believes he is invincible. Actually, his biggest fear is probably a young, charismatic man, like Barack Obama or Justin Trudeau. He thinks like an animal, and right now he views himself as the alpha male.
