If they all had their primaries on the SAME day, we wouldn’t have to worry about it! We have 1 voting day for the FULL election, so why all this whoohaw about different voting days for primaries - Say make it March 1st for EVERYONE! Get it all overwith in 1 day....

I like your idea but I would hold two "national" primaries. One in March and another in June.

The March primaries would be more or less a weeding-out affair. Candidates with say, at least 20% of the vote, would move on to the June primaries in which delegates will be awarded to candidates accordingly to take to their national conventions for the formal nomination process.

Now when I say "national" primaries, I am really saying 50 separate state primaries - which happen to be held on the same day. This is so we can preserve the Electoral College.

Not only that but how about those states that allow crossover voters. That's how we got McShame in many of those states. The worse one running. Of course dems would like the Reps to have the weakest candidate that way.

Can you make it March 2nd? I’m busy the 1st. Thank you.

The ruling-class RINOs have to have way of controlling things, or some "rogue" candidate (anybody come to mind) might outwit and outmaneuver them.

Not mentioning any names, of course.

But...but...what if Sarah hasn't announced by March 1st?

I'm not in favor of a same day primary because the nomination process is supposed to be a marathon and not a sprint.

A better way to control the race to be first is formulating extra delegates to states which go later. You'd eventually achieve a natural equilibrium between attention whore states and deliberative states.
