“The powers that be in the Republican party screwed everything up royally by making some states winner take all, and others not. There are no winner take all states on the Democrat side. It should be consistently one way or the other,”

Could you explain who has the perfect way to do this? Then tell me how you plan to force this to be done, over the objection of your so called “”powers that be in the Republican party?”

At present, states can do what they decide locally to do. That is consistent with federalism, which is a Republican premise. Remember Fred Thompson?

I’m in California, and I like the idea that if my congressional district votes for A candidate, that establishes the casting of that delegate.

There is no reason for Republicans to have to run their primaries like the democrats.

It should not be necessary to force what makes sense. All states should be winner take all, or none should be. I prefer winner take all.
