There are 23- no, make that 24 declared Democratic Candidates who recently were Straw Polled in Iowa. There is a website combining the results of all their straw polls. Everyone is talking about how full or stacked the Democrat Primary is- or too crowded. But not long ago, say 2015-16 GOP campaign, Republicans had 17 Contenders, Including Trump.

Remember how contentious it was, that to-a-person, all the Republicans were in Party Lock-step, except "Trump" and how it was made out to be that Trump was defeating the Republican Party, and that after that, Hillary was "just another Establishment Republican" to be dispatched?

In the face of a political impeachment craze, the Mueller Report, and Drumbeats for War with Iran, the field of Republicans willing to hold to their establishment credentials and campaign against Trump for 2020 is rather quiet. Former Republican then Libertarian Vice Presidential Candidate 2016 and now Republican "again" Bill Weld has decided to run as a Republican against Trump. He is officially declared. So far, anyone else is mere speculation. Most Conservatives will tell you he is a RINO anyway- basically a democrat, even before he left the party to join the other Former Republican Libertarian Presidential Candidate 2016 Gary Johnson, who was arguably Libertarian in Name Only.... In the face of all the Democrats are doing to attack Trump, you would think Jeb would enter the race with at least a slightly better chance of winning, and probably at a lot less cost, compared to his last campaign. But even without Jeb (who cares?) why does the Republican party not run a slew of candidates against Trump the way they did in 2016? Certainly never-Trumpers have had enough to make their case, adding to the Democrat discombobulation, and what with even Justin Amash, the "libertarian" republica...
