On some level luck is a factor, but usually a candidate’s rise and fall tells a pretty clear story based on choices they made along the way. Hyped candidates with lots of advantages often flame out, underdogs sometimes make their own luck, and both happened this cycle already.https://twitter.com/databyler/status/1201534965999001601 …
Some is choices, some is being the right person for the moment, some is the competition. Bullock got in too late, & Biden occupies the "safe, electable to white Midwesterners" lane.

To extent "bad luck" was a factor in Bullock's failure to launch, it was indeed having a bunch of higher profile people competing overlapping space. Not only Biden, but Klobuchar, Buttigieg, as well as fellow longshots like Bennet, Ryan, Moulton.

Not only that, Bullock's top issue is stopping money in politics, an area where Sanders and Warren absolutely dominate even as they occupy a different ideological and biographic space.

And they're both white Midwesterners.
