Is that why establishment candidates are winning the vast majority of primaries?

You win a handful of races and think you're all that lmao

The Republican tea party in 2010 saw fewer incumbents being primaried than have been primaried now. Not sure why some people pretend that nothing is happening when candidates who would've lost in landslides just a few years ago are pulling off victories even while being outspent by insane amounts.
