Classic answer is Dan Quayle but also:
Rick Santorum - Kinda long career but especially after '12 people assumed he was gonna have his presidential moment and it never occurred, ducked out after Iowa in '16. Silently fizzled out and holds no office now. Scott Walker similar story but didn't even make it to Iowa and was quietly and uneventfully defeated in 2018.
Beto(assuming he doesn't try to run again) - The media coverage was painfully glowing and he was just so mediocre, and lost anyway but this describes a lot of '18 Ds. Lost to Ted Cruz. Failed presidential run. Very forced appeal to young people that didn't pan out. Whatever he did/wanted to do, Buttigieg did better.
