Uh, you're cherry picking qualities based on retrospective thinking. You could turn this around easily, for instance:

The Democrats nominated an awkward exaggerator with no charisma, a young inexperienced guy with a foreign sounding name whose race is only shared by 12% of the population that votes for their party anyways, a guy laden with sex scandals, an out of touch billionaire, and dramatically rejected what could have been the first woman president... and they still won.

Meanwhile the Republicans nominated two war heroes, a folksy family man who you'd like to have a beer with, a moderate maverick, and a tall, good-looking self-made businessman who was also a moderate governor of a blue state.
