I wonder why people think grey fonts are a good idea on a website? Not that new glasses might not help.
I wonder why the Republican Party deals in caucuses and open primaries, neither of which are a good representation of its members’ preferences. Just my opinion, of course.
Not hard to figure out.
At a caucus the hardline establishment can wrangle the caucus goers till the cows come home. They wear the competition down until they get enough support for the Establishment Preferred Candidate.
Open primaries are good for spreading out “walking around” money to however many people it takes to get their Establishment Preferred Candidate over the top.
It’s all about making sure no actual conservative candidate gets the nomination.
They will, by hook or crook, get their Preferred Candidate.
