It is easy for someone who never intends to run again to stay away from the convention.

The more interesting thing will be whether prospective candidates for 2020 stay away. Also, many 2020 Presidential candidates may refuse to accept a VP nomination. After all, they want to distance themselves as much as possible from an expected big loss, and want to be the fresh face that cannot be blamed afterwards for the debacle.
