Ranked choice (which we use locally) has tended to make campaigns more civil, as candidates don’t want to alienate voters who might list them as a 2nd choice. In 50%+1 elections, it means you don’t need a runoff, and 2 or 3 candidates with similar politics don’t cancel each out.

Trump wouldn’t be President if it were used in 2016, even with the electoral college.

Well it would work ok if the parties didn't keep ousting their leaders

Ranked choice would give voters a chance to vote for who they really want, with the security of knowing if that their vote will still count if Choice #1 isn't viable. It would give both parties important information about how voters really feel.

Solid reasons? No. Reasons given as excuses by Democrats and Republicans who have benefited significantly from the existing system? Plenty. Look for them to throw up roadblocks rather than allow a system that would benefit moderate candidates.
