Sad state of affairs for Democrats. They were so busy trying their best to push an un-electable and completely unlikable Hillary Clinton that they literally had no backup plan (unless their only backup plan was for Trump to get impeached). Where's the next groomed Obama? Is it Joe Biden? He's 76 and his brand of politics is well past the expiry date. Bernie Sanders has a strong reddit following, but that doesn't mean much in the real world where demographics are a little more diverse than millenials. He's also 77 and as mentioned, not a true democrat and very divisive. He likely would be the best bet to beat Trump, but the Democrats don't want him to lead as shown last candidacy by the DNC. Sanders is not one of them.

Elizabeth Warren? She'd get chewed up by Trump, there's no way she would win. And again, she's another aging candidate at 69 recycling the same old Democrats ideals.

2020 looks like a lost election already before it got underway.

People who didn't vote for Trump already won't vote for him. And people who voted from Trump may not like him, but he's still a Republican (by name only) and no other country votes by party lines as much as the US does. Without a compelling candidate, the Democrats are not likely to make any ground. They barely gained back the House in 2018, not quite the Democratic blue wave promised.

It's ironic that 2016 was supposed to be a weak Republican year and heeding to Clinton, in the end Trump just destroyed everything by being loud and obnoxious and giving people red hats.
