Too early? I don't think so.
It seems to me that the 2020 Election is going to be something of a free-for-all on the Dem side. Given that everyone is expecting Trump to be a disaster to one degree or another, the door is wide open for a fairly easy Dem victory in 2020. Thus, there is a huge opportunity for candidates who lack national exposure and/or who are often seen as on the fringes to make a push in the primaries. Because if Trump is even half as bad as most think, whomever wins the Dem primary wins the 2020 Election, right?*
So, I anticipate people to begin making their case far earlier than has been the case in the past (such as Cory Booker, who used the Sessions hearings to get some free press for himself).
I'm assuming Warren will be there, and Sanders as well. But how about some dark horses? Anyone want to offer up a long shot now?
I'll throw one out there: Kamals Harris, the new Senator from California. The fact that she's from California--which is overflowing with people who will be able to say "see, we told you so" with regard to Trump--might give her some added oomph, especially when it comes to fundraising.
