32 states have voted in primaries/caucuses.

Hardly anyone in any state voted for the more conservative candidates.

Even if the GOP had a proportionate award of delegates system like the Rats, that system has a political viability cut-off of 15%. 15%! That’s pathethic, considering that primaries/caucuses supposedly attract the hard-core base and the most political active and motivated in each party.

Yet not one of the more conservative candidates consistently got even near that cut-off for political viability.

IOW, even with some kind of different way to hold primaries, there’s no indication whatsoever that conservatives in sufficient numbers were rallying to any one candidate.

And historically the nominations have often been locked up after Super Tuesday. This is nothing new.
