This exactly, but I've seen it before - weak ass candidates my whole life. Carter couldn't win, but still, he was the incumbent.

Then there's Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry. Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry had no guts in their campaigns. No one was excited about them. H. Clinton and Biden are the same, they do not drum up excitement, they are just better than the complete shitshow the other side is running.

How can we not have someone that destroys Trump on that stage? How? I feel like a 12 year old child could have beaten him.

They’ve been resting on their laurels since inventing civilization though, you must admit.
