Invisible primary has already begun for Dems
By Amie Parnes - 05/09/18 06:00 AM EDT

The invisible primary has begun for Democrats plotting a presidential path in 2020.

Would-be candidates are hitting the trail, sharpening their positions, seeking the right political “lane” and holding private conversations with donors about their prospects.

Invisible primaries typically start after the midterm elections, but Democrats thinking about the 2020 race appear to be getting a head start.

The battle to become the Democratic nominee is shaping up for an early start, and political observers say it’s anyone’s to win.

Big deal. This happens every election cycle anymore. It is mostly so these backbenchers can raise their profile and suck up cash. Few of them have any chance at all of winning.

It's too bad FBI and DOJ have shown they can't be trusted.

Now would be a great time for them to keep an open ear for those campaign bucks sneaking off into the hands of the candidates relatives.
