It was always lose-lose for them. Either, as you point out, it's two years before they face her in a general, or else if it had blown up into something that resonates better with voters and manages to keep her from running, they lose their favourite punching bag. They all know how to attack Clinton. None of them is ready to face any other potential Democratic nominee.
