"Close the Primaries, and you know what they can do with their CAUCUS."

So, you think public tax dollars should be extorted to pay for party activities??? As long as ANY election is funded by taxpayer dollars, then it should be open. If you want a closed party primary, then pay for it yourselves. Or use caucuses. I'm a conservative independent, and be damned to the idea that you can steal my money to finance your party system.

And I simply do NOT believe that the open primary process induces enough "other party" voters to "switch" to actually make any difference in the outcome. There is ZERO actuarial data to show that it has.

Next Primary season.. we should all find the worst Dem candidate and go vote for them? They did that without our help.. and they DID that to us. OK Smarta** Where is your Actuarial Data that says there’s no actuarial Data that switching and cross party did not affect outcome.??

Since you’re an Independent... you feeling left out because my Idea wouldn’t let you Vote in Either Primary.
The DEMS and the MEDIA picked our candidates for us .. and what did we get? A Socialist and a BOLSHEVIK.
