I think that the Democrats vying for the nomination don't want to win it. At least not in 2020. The game is to either do well, or get the Veep slot. 2020 is, at best, a long shot for Democrats. Presidents, especially those who enjoy a strong economy, generally get re-elected. The game is to jockey for 2024.

Losers get cast aside. The last time someone won the nomination of a major party after previously losing happened over 50 years ago, with Richard Nixon.

Well, he didn’t really lose, he was ripped off by the Kennedy Clan, but that’s a topic for another day.

And the real problem going into 2024 is there are no real conservatives that have a chance. It'll be back to the lesser of two evils, with the Democrat having the better chance of winning.
