all things considered we would have been better with Hitlerly. Might have even been able to beat Hitlery in the general...
caucuses are anti-individual. It goes against conservatism and the rugged individualism that built this country.
“caucuses gave us Obama over Hitlery.”
It also gave the Democrats the candidate that was more in tune with their core beliefs. Obama (the far left wing socialist.)

The purpose of the system isn’t to nominate the candidate that is easiest for the other party to beat (although it sure seems like the Republican system is rigged to do just that.)

Primaries are anti-first amendment (right of association). They force political parties to allow non-members to choose their nominee. Would you favor forcing churches to allow non-church members to choose their next pastor? Of course not, but somehow allowing non-party members (and even members of the other party) to chose a party’s nominee makes sense?
There is no reason other than McVains refusal to run that we lost to BO. The fact that Mc was almost totally absent or off message and still managed to win any states is shocking.
