This isn’t a general election and there isn’t an electoral college for a primary.
This isn’t the 1800’s either, where the farmer would rely on someone to do his bidding in a primary because he could not, and would not leave his farm for 3 weeks at a time to go vote in a primary, and couldn’t be bothered to vote again and again for each run off, so they had set up a system of delegates to represent their best interest.
This is the 21st century. Our interests are pretty damned clear. This is the information age, and we don’t have to come down from the hills with a mule train to vote..
The author knows this, as do many on this forum.
but lets not let common sense get in the way of partisan politics.
The ONLY reason the system is kept in place is exactly for the reason of keeping an outsider from winning.
Nailed it.
