How about skipping all the primaries too?
When JEB said he wanted to win without conservatives, that is the first thing that came to my mind. What if he intended to run only in northern states, west coast states and Florida, where he thought he could easily win. Then he would count on his control of the super delegates to carry him the rest of the way.
I can certainly imagine the GOPe to trying to bypass “we the people” entirely if they did not like their choice.
