You can bet at least one US politician is looking into why America didn't do this First.

Democrats lost in part because of their selection mechanism.
They effectively chose Hilary Clinton because 'it was her turn', though few actually wanted her.
They chose Joe Biden because 'it was his turn', though few actually wanted him.
