I don't mind primaries particularly, but I don't see why Iowa and New Hampshire should continually be the kingmakers.
I'd prefer a system similar to a sports team draft. The states where Republicans did the best in the general election get to vote first in the primaries. So the first week, you'd have the 5 most Republican states vote, then the 2nd week you'd have states 6-10 vote, etc.

The states where Republicans did the best in the general election get to vote first in the primaries. That's a very good idea, with a closed primary.
There may be issues with the other parties on changing dates, but the states do have the right to decide the date of their primary.
Anyone see problems with this?

I like your idea best :)
I don’t see why states that vote republican in the general about once every 50-60 years get any pull when it comes to the party nomination.
