Sentiment understood. For perspective, read up on the Garfield and Harrison elections.

By the workings of the electoral college, you can win even if you don’t have the majority popular vote as in the Harrison election.

Delegates selected someone who wasn’t even running in the primaries in the Garfield election.

History...Saint Abraham wasn’t even on the presidential ticket for the election of 1860 in several Southern states. At least there may be a choice for us.
