McAuliffe warns Dem candidates to focus on midterms: 'Our future is on the line this year'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) on Sunday downplayed talk of a potential presidential bid in 2020, saying all Democrats should be focused on this year's midterm elections.

"I bristle when I hear about 2020, just because we have so much at stake: 36 governors, the House, the Senate. Our future is on the line this year," McAuliffe said on CNN's "State of the Union."

McAuliffe, who is often floated as a potential candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, was addressing attorney Michael Avenatti's declaration that he's exploring a presidential campaign.

"These candidates should not be talking about 2020," McAuliffe said. "We have too much at stake. We need to make sure we have a check and balance on President Trump, winning the House and Senate and these governors."

1. The republicons are totally focused on November midterms

Dems have varied agendas. Not good.

2. If the dems don't gain control of at least one chamber of Congress this November,

2020 won't matter. I really do think it's that serious.

3. Register voters for 2018. Get them to the polls.
