I disagree with this #BenShapiro take here.
In primaries, always pick the person you agree with most, not who's most likely to win. If you don't, then you end up with a relatively lousy party nominee.
For example, #Trump wasn't the worst nominee the #GOP could have had in 2016, but come on, there were at least three politicians better than him who were fighting for the nomination.

I completely agree with your take on this including the fact that there were better nominees than Trump. I supported Cruz that year. That said, you can't honestly believe that primary voters thought that he had the best chance of winning that year.
If anything, he is an argument for your case. Nobody that year thought Clinton could lose, but Trump was considered the worst pick for winnibility. However, he was the one that resonated with primary voters.
@jlcrawf I do think #TedCruz and #MarcoRubio sabotaged themselves...they were incredibly similar candidates that agreed on everything except for amnesty, and if you combined their votes, the would have won almost all of the primaries.
That said, I voted for #TulsiGabbard, because my state has an open primary, and Tulsi was the most #prolife candidate in that entire race (she promised to ban third trimester abortions on a federal level).
