    This statement implies popularity = good, universally.

    In the 1800s, slavery was popular. Hence, should a candidate have run on preserving slavery?

      No it doesn’t. A candidate needs a lot of qualities to be “good”. One of those qualities is the ability to be popular on election day. An unpopular candidate isn’t a good candidate. A popular candidate might be.
