21. Two different constituencies
The primaries and the General Election consist of two different constituencies.

The Democratic primary voters are a only subset of the GE voters.

So one group might elect someone very different from the other.

The most successful political primary strategy in recent Presidential politics was 1972, when Muskie was destoyed by Nixon dirty tricks in the primaries so Nixon could run against McGovern.
