I think the Dem field of potential candidates is largely a joke. Trump would be licking his chops to get a shot at a candidate like Elizabeth Warren. She's been an abject failure at dealing with his attacks on her thus far. It would be a disaster over the term of a full campaign. Harris is a rough sell, too. Anyone from California is. Dems need a southerner or midwesterner to appeal to places where Trump remains strong. Bad strategy to bring in a candidate from the bluest state possible.
I wonder if Jim Mattis would run a primary challenge to Trump. I can't see a Trump admin refugee switching parties to challenging him, but there's been talk about a primary on that side for awhile now. I'm not sure how much his popularity waned after falling out with president reality show, but he'd be a nice, sane, no-nonsense option.
