He brought nothing to the table. He was from a safe state in a region that had already begun to favor Democrats. He had a very liberal record as senator with little that could appeal to moderate or independent voters. His public persona was underwhelming and offputting, and his super-rich background made him easy fodder for ridicule.
Why was he considered the Establishment/default candidate to begin with? Why did he have such an easy time winning the primaries? (Compared to, say, Mitt Romney in 2012.)
