    I mean, okay fair enough, this is a longstanding thing that’s happened though. It’s pretty rare for incumbents to be challenged within their own party (and this is normally not a controversial thing).

    It’s also less that “nobody could” and more “nobody [with a remote chance of winning] did.”

    There’s no “right to rule” here, that’s entirely a retroactive facade that’s contrary to the facts.
