Really the issue is that we'll never know. The nominees were who they were, for any election. It's hindsight overwhelming peoples' sense of rationality in coping with a loss. It's always fun to fantasize about what could have been had x, y, and z been different but it's a fallacy in the end. Maybe some day we'll get a 'Rick and Morty' inter-dimensional travelling device and then we can see the alternatives for ourselves but until then we have to cope with our realities, no matter how preventable they may have been.
