I think we are in a post blame world right now.
At this point Trump has the undying support of his base and they will follow him off a cliff if that is what he wanted. On the Dems side, we haven't even gotten to the first debate. Let's not forget, in 2016 there were so many candidates they had to have two different debates until some of them started dropping out. At the beginning hardly anyone picked trump to be the nominee. Most of the Dems still have a shot at getting the nomination. We need to wait until the campaigns start to kick in and the rest of the country gets to know these people. Once they do, I think the Dems will forgive them of their issues. So long as none of the grab them by the pussy, move on them like a bitch, or suck Putin's cock, the blame game likely won't work.
All the Dems have to do is hope everything goes as it did in 2016 with one exception. The 40,000 voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania that voted Trump need to switch to whoever the Dem is. A lot of young voters didn't turn out last time because they hated Hillary. I don't think they will do that again because they don't want more Trump.
It was an incredibly close election in 2016 and Trump was running against a candidate who was hated by half her own party and generally disliked by the public not to mention under investigation, one of which came to light about 10 days before the election. With all that against Hillary, Trump barely beat her. The 2020 Dem likely won't have that baggage and Trump now has all these investigations and his general shittyness at the job to carry with him.
