Also the way primaries work... Such low participation that only the radical voters turn out.
I would say it's an over-complicated (by multiple aspects of news coverage) popularity contest. Particularly as there are more candidates, the winner is not likely to be what the actual majority wanted (because FPtP again).
On the left the "safest" corporate Democrat is likely who is picked. Progressives likely even vote that way because of media speculation.
