Hilary wasn't an incumbent. Biden should have been the go to in 2016. You run your sitting vice president if you've got one, because they have a way better chance of winning. Doubly so for a sitting president.

It would be an incredibly stupid political strategy to try to run someone else right now. I think the DNC learned that lesson eight years ago.
