Good question.
Right up there with why do millions vote for the next American Idol, but only a fraction of those people vote in elections.

That is faulty logic.
The comparison with the 50 contests for Miss USA would be more like the British Parliament where the Prime Minister is elected from the House of Commons.

Actually we choose several people to run against each other for President, as many as there are political parties. The only reason you only see 2 is because the Main Stream Medial only covers the Democrats and Republicans.

There are at least 50 people running for president we narrow it down to the best few just like Miss USA. Educate your self.

Perhaps because it doesn't matter one iota who becomes Miss USA, Miss Buttermilk Pancake, Miss Knee Scab, Miss Universe, Miss Quote, Miss Informed, or any of the other bimbo contests.

We don't, it's just an established and expected convention. In all reality, there usually are about 50 presidential candidates, but the lesser known ones rarely get 1% of the vote in total and aren't well known because they can't afford to campaign.

There are 2 major political parties and 50 states. Do you see the pattern?

Because the result would be the same as Miss USA. With the same damn states winning every time

The difference and level of importance between the presidential election and "Miss USA" is too drastic and inconceivable for description. What kind of comparison is this?

There are more than two. It's just that the others are never noticed.
Take Ralphy for example.
