Most Likely 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates

With the Democrats upsetting loss to the Republicans in the Presidential race, many people are already looking to 2020 to field potential presidential candidates. The primaries will be interesting with a young sect of the Democratic Party that has turned more progressive compared to the more establishment side. The primaries will also be interesting because there aren’t many Democrats with the national profile and name recognition that Hillary Clinton did in 2016. With that being said, here are the top five potential Democrats for President in 2020.

1. Tim Kaine

Senator Tim Kaine was Hillary Clinton’s VP pick and as a result grew his national profile. This makes him a likely candidate in 2020. Also, Clinton supporters may see Kaine as a continuation of Clinton’s campaign into 2020. Although he represents a more establishment side of the DNC, he may have a good shot in 2020 solely because of the name recognition he received in 2020.

2. Bernie Sanders

Senator Bernard Sanders is another likely candidate to run again. Sanders represents a more progressive side of the DNC and had many supporters of a younger age. His national profile and supporters from 2016 may be able to boost him to the DNC nomination in 2020. His age, however, may prohibit him from running in 2020. If that is the case, Elizabeth Warren may be an alternative.

3. Elizabeth Warren

The firebrand progressive Senator has also been heavily talked about for a potential run in 2020. She’s often seen as a progressive alternative to Sanders if he does not run. She and Sanders work closely together on similar issues, and as a result, her name recognition has gone up. She was also talked about as a potential VP candidate which put her in some headlines. She will likely represent the progressives of the Democratic party in 2020.

4. Julian Castro

Julian Castro was appointed by President Obama to head up the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He was heavily talked about as a potential VP candidate. He may be able to leverage his federal experience and record to a successful run in 2020. However, his lack of real national name recognition may be a hindrance.

5. Cory Booker

Cory Booker is the Senator from New Jersey. Recent moves have hinted at a potential run in 2020. Some pundits have equated Cory Booker to Barack Obama. His twitter social media presence rivals Trump’s and he may have the ability to appeal to both young people and the more establishment Democrats. If he can polish up his resume over the next four years, he may have what it takes to clinch the Democratic nomination in 2020.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
