“The biggest fallacy about presidential nominations is overestimating the role of rank-and-file voters. As political scientists Marty Cohen, David Karol, Hans Noel, and John Zaller have shown, established party actors actually exert vast control over the process.”

Still think the GOP gives a DAMN what you think?

No.

But if they want to elect Clinton or Warren, they have no one to blame but themselves if they pick another weak candidate.

There will be a strong GOP field in 2016 and the voters can decide who has the best chance to win in November.
