      1. There have been a few articles (in the Times, Washington Post & elsewhere) speculating that Hillary Clinton will run again. I'm skeptical but something is happening.

      2. This Times piece about donors wanting Hillary (and Bloomberg, Michelle Obama, John Kerry etc) to enter presidential race offers a clue. It opens with a dinner of America Bridge, a group formed by David Brock, longtime Clinton ally. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/22/us/politics/democratic-candidates-2020.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur …

      3. Clinton is probably too smart to want to re-enter the fray but she's also surrounded by many people who have an incentive for her to do so. If she runs, they're part of big project (one with lots of fundraising). If she doesn't they're has-beens.

      4. The argument for Clinton, Bloomberg, Kerry etc is that centrist Dems need a champion to take on Warren/Sanders. This seems very insulting to the large # of centrist Dems already running!

          Establishment Dems really caught lightning in a bottle when they got Obama. They found the rare centrist who could fool voters into thinking he was a hip, audacious, boat-rocking outsider. Could be a while before they get another like him.

          Seems like it's also just denial about why those centrists running aren't very successful in this

          Moreover, Warren is not Sanders.
