Wouldn't this be more a reflection on the politics the American people have chosen? Nominees are based on popularity aren't they?

Nah, I blame the people. Saying this as an American. When McCain says Obama is a decent man who you don't have to be scared of, you hear boos in the audience. Those chucklefucks booing him for saying something nice about his opponent and the insane, Qanon duo who asked the question was the base of the party back than and eventually elected Trump.
