It was interesting to see how the "establishment" Republicans tried at every turn to thwart and remove Trump from the process, but in the end relented (however much it pained them) because that's what the voters said they wanted.

The "establishment" Democrats were the same except they succeeded in placing their candidate ahead of what many believe their base really wanted.

Given the outcomes of these scenarios, it's hard to see pure democracy as an advantageous model from this example.
