A constraint that no one could be president who had not previously served a full term as governor of, or US senator from, an American state, or 2 or 3 terms in the US house, would have prevented all this.
A more practical solution than demanding the parties adopt less open or less democratic methods of selecting their nominees in order to keep out irresponsible, gormless demagogues with no respect for or personal loyalty to constitutional government, I think.
