That’s fine... But, to reduce the number of future RINOs that end up in congress, he needs to get rid of open primaries. I don’t know who decides that, but I imagine the head of the NRC should have significant influence!!

State legislators control the laws that govern the primaries n each state. In states where Democrats control the state legislatures, some Republicans have challenged these state laws in court...and lost.

That is exactly the case here in Montana. The Democrats will never support open primaries. As a result we have at least one state senator who is unquestionably a liberal Democrat.

We also had an eccentric old geezer who beat out a legitimate Republican candidate in the primaries. The Republican Party in Montana has more than it’s share of RINOs. We are working to change that.

Thanks for the information. I did not know that.

Thanks for the info.

Rather idiotic law - why have parties then? It seems to me that the parties themselves should set the rules on how they want their candidates selected.
