TBH, I don't think Google stand a solid chance winning it either. Their offering is not the best, and there isn't good wills from the current administration either.

IIRC, the current administration has less goodwill towards Amazon because its CEO owns the Washington Post. I don't think that was a factor.


It's both Amazon (because Bezos owns the Post) and Google (because of Eric Schmidt's close ties with the DNC).


These things are ruled by likely 10,000 laws passed by Congress to minimize corruption by allowing the executive branch to hand out favors. The people with actual power to corrupt are Senators and Reps who can add pork to spending bills.
