If that's the case, if you're a serious challenger, wouldn't it be better to wait until 2024 instead of running in 2020 and risking having any dirty laundry you may have (even the imaginary kind) aired by Trump - thus killing your Presidential hopes stone dead ?
Not really. Trump has more people calling for his impeachment than supporting him at the moment. These numbers aren't bound to improve anytime soon.

All in all even if Trump does air all sorts of real and fake dirty laundry, you can wear it as a badge of honor and it'll win you more support than it'll cost you. Without major upheavals, Trump will receive 40% of votes and you need to obtain enough of the rest to defeat him. It's not easy or pretty, but it's a better chance than most. A politician has only about 5-6 shots to become a president, I'm sure the Democrat party can produce 1-2 viable candidates per election cycle and not run out of potential presidents.
