There were no fully binding presidential primaries until 1972. So in the earlier days, the presidential candidate of a party was decided in smoke-filled rooms or the national convention itself. No voting input from the public, and even when there eventually was, the limited results would sometimes or often be ignored or compromised. But they still had some kind of selection process (even if strong-armed occasionally) that transpired at the caucuses and conventions. Whereas here, KH has -- for all intents and purposes, been chosen before any formal process and vetting.

INTRO: “Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary [a Canadian businessman] revealing that some Democrat mega-donors are beginning to have buyer’s remorse over letting Kamala Harris be selected by Democrat elites.
VIDEO EXCERPTS: When we syndicate debt for real estate projects, we don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican. So I deal with a lot of investors agnostic to politics, and some of them are very big contributors to the Democratic Party.
I heard what one said to us, it was: "Some of us are having buyer's remorse. We'd wish we'd run a process, because we got so much press in the first nine days of bringing somebody into the party, and raised the 200 million plus..."
[...] There is precedent for what's going on here. I ask everybody to look north to Canada, when a young Justin Trudeau swept in.
Nobody cared about his executional skills, or what he'd ever done, or anything. They just thought he was the "it" guy.
[laughs] Look at the country now -- it's wiped out.
And because it turns out the guy [Trudeau] had no executional skills, it would be important to leave aside the politics and ask what has Kamala Harris actually done.
Because if I was hiring her -- and I'm not trying to be partisan -- I would ask her: "What was a goal, what did you achieve?"
Because any governor or any senator that we put into presidential viability -- they would have a history, track record of doing stuff.
I don't know Kamala's biggest accomplishments, I don't know of one.
But I can tell you this in the next two weeks. The "happy talk" is going to have to stop. Because someone is going to sit her down and say: Let's talk inflation. Let's talk border. Let's talk policy on energy. Let's talk policy on foreign affairs.
And if she doesn't deliver on that, with the new vision towards the center, the guy that said 'I wish we'd run a process' is going to be right.
If she wants to win, she's got to move to the center, but she's got to have some ideas on how to run the country.
You might hate Trump, but he has this track record of policy. You might hate him -- I get it. But you do know that he can do something...
