2020 sounds like a long way off, but if you're among those considering a presidential bid, now is the time to start making serious decisions and preparations.  According to Politico, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is doing just that and recently gathered his team of advisers to weigh in on how a 2020 run might play out.  The meeting took place in Washington on Saturday, the outlet's sources confirmed. The Senator reportedly made it clear to those in attendance that he's not yet decided whether he will once again pursue the high office, but did stress the importance of President Trump not claiming a second victory, notes Politico. Sanders' 2016 presidential primary campaign was quite successful, and, for some, surprisingly so. Based on recent polls, Sanders has maintained much of that popularity and would enter the 2020 race as one of the top Democratic contenders.  A poll by Axios/Survey Monkey showed that if the nominee run-off were held now, Sanders would trail only Joe Biden and by 5 points.
