Or is this something that would be more at the primary level, where it really is more about personality and personal qualities than party? >> For sure there are many factors that influence someone's vote. I think you're right - its more likely to cause leadership rotation within the parties where the rest of the factors are more similar (i.e. stance on gun rights, etc.). The challenge today is that incumbent politicians within their own party tend to have great name recognition among voters - but are more likely to be in the pockets of corporations. This would enable challengers within the party to potentially have an issue they can highlight. "lol everyone does it" >> And perhaps articles prove in a data science-y way that perhaps this is true - many politicians are doing it.
