the only way I see the Dems losing to Trump in 2020 is if they try to emulate the failed strategy of 2016 -- i.e. pre-selecting the establishment NeoLiberal "favorite" and ignoring the grassroots momentum that's happening on the ground.
Hillary's rallies lacked authenticity and energy (not to mention supporters) -- while Sanders was drawing thousands upon thousands at every major event and had the grassroots energy behind him.
If the Dems blame "Bernie Bros", Russia, WikiLeaks and ignore their own infrastructural failures - then I would echo your sentiment that 2020 is bound to be a disaster.
But if the Dems actually wise up and assess who can beat Trump in a *general* election (not just the primary) - then I believe there are 2-3 candidates who could wipe the floor with Trump in 2020.
