Which is really stupid as let's be fair - the question wasn't whether
Trump was better than all possible (or even credible) Democrats or
whether he was better than Kamala Harris.
 That was the question faced by voters last November and the voters
said yes to the question actually asked as opposed to the answer to
the second question which was almost certainly no.
 TV commentators seem to be responding as if voters had faced the
second question which is absurd.

Uh, Trump's main challenger in November was indeed Kamala Harris. No other Democrat made it to the top of the ticket. The Democrats had the option of staying with Joe Biden or having an open convention which could have chosen any of several people but they chose to anoint Harris without any real contest so she was their candidate in November.
Of course Trump did face other Presidential aspirants but Jill Stein and the rest of them had no chance whatever of winning, although they could conceivably have drawn off enough votes from one party or the other to tip the election to a different party. That's how Ross Perot prevented George H.W. Bush from getting his second term and let Bill Clinton win in 1992.
