Vermont won only because of the dem monkeywrenchers.

This is why there should be a ban on “Open” Primaries.

As long as political parties (Which in reality are private organizations!) ask the state to pay for primaries you will see these ridiculous open primaries. The advantage for the party is they get the taxpayer to pay for the candidate selection process. Additionally, it gives the parties a chance to sabotage the other through crossover voting.

Yeah, I know. I'm not sure why governments even run primary elections in the first place. The parties are private entities and the selection of their desired candidates should be conducted by the parties themselves either by caucus or some other method that doesn't include the government getting involved.

But that's just my opinion.
