Well, since Fred last opined on the 2020 Democratic field, a 21st as arrived on the scene. Sen. Michael Bennet. Fred was initially going to unceremoniously consign Bennet to the trash bin established in that prior post, but decided that a ceremonious consignment was the decent thing to do. Bennet is said to be good friends with Loopy Hickenlooper -- but apparently not good enough to give his state governor an open shot at the White House. Bennet also has good democratic roots, his father having served as an aide to Hubert Humphrey and later as a mid-level wonk in the Carter administration. He's also Jewish through his mother and his brother is editorial page director at The New York Times. All that having been said, he doesn't have any real hook that will allow him to stand out in the too crowded field. Bennet is a good candidate for Secretary of Education, having been considered for the post during the Obama years.
