If you want to fix something fix the way our candidate is selected. By the time you get to the Republican only primary states the MSM has already picked our candidate.

And that, my FRiend, is the crux of the matter. Here is what I would like to see, from a thread I posted right after the election:

Establish five set dates for presidential primary elections between May and July of the year of the election. Separate the 50 states into five groups of ten states each. Rotate the groups each election cycle.

I think if FReepers want to make a real contribution to national politics this would be a good place to start.
