Blame the state Republican Parties who refuse to fix the problem of “open” primaries, where Democrats are authorized to join in with the Repubs (and they do) to vote for the most “liberal” Republican on the ballot. Yes the Repubs are so fair and square they let their arch enemy arrange things for them. Just like the Rats voting in the “primaries” were the ones who chose Mitt Romney for US in 2012. What a bunch of self-hating suicidal morons.
I agree, we have open primaries here in TN also and I wouldn’t dream of crossing over and vote for a rat.
It looks like about half the states have closed primaries. If open primaries were a major reason for incumbent wins, you’d think we would have picked up a few of the races in closed primary states. I’m not saying open primaries don’t hurt conservatives. They do. I just don’t think you can blame all these losses on open primaries, voter fraud, or anything more complicated than most Republican voters preferred the incumbent.

That’s a major problem in Texas. Now that Dewhurst has lost his primary race, I’m ‘hoping’ new leadership will address this major flaw in elections and change to closed elections.
