Florida, Texas and Virginia went for Romney in the 2012 primaries. Stacking up primaries on a single day favors establishment candidates with huge budgets for television.

A better approach would be to have the GOP push primaries to the end of the cycle for states that didn't support the GOP nominee in the previous presidential election. Better yet, schedule the primaries in order of the GOP's share of the popular vote by state from the last election.
I mean, does anyone really give a sh!t who the voters of Massachusetts prefer to be the Republican nominee in a presidential election?

Virginia went one step further and got rid of the “cluttered” ballot and reduced the choices to two: willard and Ron Paul. Not a big fan of Ron Paul, but I happily voted for him given he was the only reasonable choice on the ballot.
