The historical precedents, as I noted in February, run against Democrats nominating the early frontrunner. It's looking late now for a true dark horse, but as @brianros1 notes, but there remain some recent-ish rebounds. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/03/five-lanes-in-the-2020-democratic-field/ …https://twitter.com/brianros1/status/1187760732445839361 …

To some extent, I think 2008 and 2016 have skewed our perspective. But most nominating fights break late.

Besides 2004, Democrats haven't had more than a 2-horse race since 1992. More recent GOP races bode ill for dark horses. But question is whether that says more about changed times or about different party voting patterns.
