4. Amy Klobuchar

Klobuchar has the right sort of resume -- former county prosecutor, two term Senator -- to run for president.

The question for Klobuchar is whether she could compete financially and in terms of profile with some of the bigger names on this list and in the race (Cory Booker etc.) more generally. She's also up for reelection in 2018, a race she should win but that could take time, energy and money away from planning a 2020 bid.
