2020 vision

Trump has picked his dream 2020 opponent, and it's Joe Biden

President Trump's 2020 dreams are getting more vivid every day.

Trump is now envisioning former Vice President Joe Biden on the other side of the ballot, he told CBS News' Jeff Glor on Wednesday. Yet while running against Biden would be "a dream," he's not shying away from any potential Democratic opponent.

Biden is Trump's fantasy opponent, but not because he'd be a challenge. "Look, Joe Biden ran three times," Trump told Glor. "He never got more than 1 percent and President Obama took him out of the garbage heap, and everybody was shocked that he did." Trump is a little off on the numbers there, as Biden only ran for president twice. In both his 1988 and 2008 campaigns, Biden didn't win the Democratic nomination, and he did do pretty dismally in the primaries too.

While Trump is having Biden-filled dreams, he told Glor he'd still like to run against any of the "seven or eight" candidates Democrats are tossing around right now. Biden will decide if he's in that mix by January, the former veep revealed to CNN on Tuesday.

The Trump-Biden feud has gone on for months, even escalating to threats of physical violence in March. Numerous polls have placed Biden on top of the pile of possible Democratic candidates.
