No one wanted Biden in 2008 either. In 2020 the media kept saying he was the front runner with no evidence to support that.. He was behind in polls and if he didn't win the South Carolina primary he would have dropped out. Everyone would have moved on to Buttigieg or Bernie.
Now we're essentially in the same place we were in in 2016..
"Who are you excited for?"
"Neither of them."
