Plus I can't recall if I've ever seen one of these parties entertain competition against an incumbent (or former president). In such cases, the party nomination is kinda/sorta a formality. This is why we have heard of zero alternative candidates from either the RNC or DNC.

Former presidents don't normally run because they learn their lesson the first time they lose.
