12. He will have a much tougher time justifying that. It'll be a completely different situation.

He won't be in a 1-on-1 race, and he won't be running against someone who millions had been conditioned to hate.

2nd in Iowa and 1st in New Hampshire propelled him forward. I don't think he'll place as high in those states in 2020. Then, losses in Nevada and South Carolina will be a clear signal that Sanders has no business sticking around the way he did in 2016.
