Biden's soft on China. I wonder if the trade dispute, even if it a lot of folks don't agree with why the tariffs are in place, doesn't push people away from wanting a conciliatory tone with China. To draw an analogy to '64, there were a tremendous number of Republicans (cough National Unionists cough) that had issues with Lincoln, but the electorate wasn't going to go for anyone running on a Peace Program. So even with internal strife within the party and a tepid populace, the incumbent won handily.
Perhaps the Democrats need someone who will take a strict line with China, perhaps on human rights issues if there's a general consensus in 2020 that China should not be treated as a friend.
