It was very obvious after the last election that Clinton was the best chance for the Democratic party to win in 2016. The Democratic party knew Clinton, worked with Clinton, and she had a huge following after the last election.

I don't know much about Sanders but Sanders has one major fault - He is Jewish. This shouldn't matter, but the moment Sanders did anything with Israel people will say "He is giving Israel favored status" or some such non-sense.

I am not saying all of this is planned out well in advance, but you already know both sides have teams set up right now working on the next election. You know the Republicans have a group somewhere looking at the next round of candidates for 2020 in the even Trump loses (or even if he wins). And the Democrats have the same, vetting candidates for the next run in case Clinton loses or in the even she wins but doesn't run in 2020.
