Here in WA state, we never have much input on who the nominee will be. BUT I really do not want the R elites to have the power to determine who the nominee ends up being.
I would rather hear and see all the candidates, multiple times and let party voters make their choices. KEY to me is ‘party’ voters.
Re the moderators...I guess I’m in the minority. If you can’t handle Candy Crowley...I don’t want you in charge of the U.S.A. I really do believe that a candidate won’t/can’t get tripped up if they articulate their ideas based on what the candidate really believes...not based on how ‘it will play’ w/ voters.
Pardon my bluntness..but the candidate who moves to the right for primary season...then moves to the middle for the general...can go to hell. I’m not voting for a candidate that doesn’t hold firm beliefs and sticks w/ their beliefs the entire time.
Pardon MY bluntness..but.. you just took the bait, or baited the hook, I haven’t decided yet.. We’ll see..
