Democratic candidates vow unity
They're united in their words and actions that guarantee Trump's re-election.

It really shouldn’t be difficult to find a candidate to beat Trump. But I really fear they are going to shoot themselves in the foot...AGAIN.
They don't need to pick a candidate to win in safe Democrat seats. They are safe!
Just the swing states.... Biden missed his chance last time and has too much baggage, Sanders may be too left for many. Warren too female( for some voters, not me!) Buttigieg too gay.... again for some voters... not me.
They only need to put up a boring mid 50’s white, God loving, middle of the road Democrat family man to sweep the next election.

Look who's talking. Lady, you ran against one of the most reviled people even before he became president and lost. So just shut up. No one wants to hear from you.
Comments like that make it VERY easy to see why some people who voted Obama in twice voted for Trump.
actually, it was Bill who pushed the party from being left to being center left- allowing the republicans to move even more to the right. And that was Hillary's agenda as well. My fear is that the Dems will again put someone center left to face Trump and they will be chewed up and spit out by him.
I personally believe that the only person who can beat trump is sanders. that's my belief. So here is my prediction for the next election:
Either we will have a President Bernie Sanders or Trump gets a second term. That's my prediction. My personal opinion. You heard it here first.

One of the problems with a two year (or longer) campaign for president is that there is more time for nerves to get frayed. Once a Democratic candidate is chosen, I believe that the also-rans will gladly unite behind the nominee.
