GOP chose wrong candidates before. They shouldn’t do it again

Between now and their 2024 conventions, Republicans and Democrats will spend countless hours and billions of dollars in the process of choosing a candidate to face their opponent’s nominee, and then battle it out to see who gets to occupy the White House at the next inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025. Many factors will decide which candidates win the nominations, though it’s been evident over the last half-century that the person who becomes the party’s nominee is not always the person with the best chance to win in November.
