Four New England Democrats are potential rivals for the 2020 Democratic Presidential sweepstakes.
It is certain that Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts will run, but interestingly, they could cancel each other out in the ultimate finals race a year from now, since they are so similar.
Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut is a very appealing younger Democrat in his mid 40s, and this author has good vibes about him having a good chance of going far in the Presidential competition.
And Congressman Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts, the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, who looks much like Ted Kennedy, while only 38, is also thought to be considering a run for the White House.
Since there are so many potential contenders, numbering in the high 20s in number, it is simply too early to judge what might happen, and how far these New Englanders might advance.
When it comes to the media’s horserace for 2020, I agree with this.

Things have changed since 2016 and even more so since 2008. To cast it all as “progressives vs establishment†or “change vs normalcy†or “white working class vs people of color,†is not only divisive, it is an example of looking into the rear-view mirror rather than at the road that lies ahead.
