He is attempting to lure dumbass college kids to dilute the vote in an open primary, and I don’t even think he is doing it to sway the outcome.

I think he is doing it purely to enrich himself.
Herman gets a paycheck, The country be damned.

If we allow this **** to be legitimized, we are in for big trouble.
It’s bad enough that Dan Rather, CBS, NBC et al have so much sway over public opinion, but now Herman wants Comedy Central to inform the people as to the issues, so long as he can collect a paycheck.

FUHC!!

You may be right about his motives. However, exposing the problems of open primaries is a good way to get them to be closed up a bit. There has to be a happy medium between a state with an open primary and same day registration with no ID required and Virginia with its loyalty oath.

I actually like the idea of inconvenient caucuses with no absentee ballots requiring only the truly committed to show up.
