Former Secretary of State John Kerry recently admitted that he has had meetings with officials from Iran since leaving office. One of the points Kerry relayed to them was that they should wait out the Trump presidency. It's nearly impossible to imagine the firestorm this would set off among Democrats and the media if a former Bush official had done this to Obama.

The field of Democratic nominees in 2020 is going to be massive. It is also going to be a pro-level competition in identity politics and a contest to see which candidates can out-left each other politically. Stormy Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti is positioning himself early as the candidate who will "fight" Trump.
