    Here let me point out the parts you seemed to have missed:

    not run because the polls showed him getting beat.

    not change the primaries to heavily favor one candidate

    despite all the polling suggesting they should

    The polls showed they shouldn’t favor the candidate they did. They chose against what was obvious instead of encouraging others to run they picked their favored candidate before it even started.

    “They didn’t put forth”

    You’re right, the wording there isn’t correct. It should be that they didn’t encourage others to run.

    We’re done here.

    Unfortunately it appears the voters are thinking the same thing. That’s why it’s the party’s responsibility field the best candidate.

        Yeah, that’s what I would expect from someone who expects voters to toe the line for the party instead of blaming the party for a bad candidate. Do as you say or be ignored right?
