I favor an open system, to enable the voice of the independent, that is not winner take all. Also, I think the states that failed to deliver in the prior election should lose a portion of their delegates. It is rediculous to allow solid democratic states like NY, Mass, and California to have such a large influence on the ultimate candidate.
What if we lined up all the states from smallest to largest, in terms of electoral votes, and had primaries every Tuesday beginning in March for 25 weeks.
The first Tuesday would be the 2 smallest states, then every week the next 2 until almost close to the convention, where New York and California could be the last 2.
It would make for a true buildup of support for the best candidate. Maybe there would be 3 or 4 candidates at the end who would still have a shot.
Maybe it could help keep the candidate with monstrous war chest from “buying” the nomination.
What do you think?
