“That’s why we need a National Primary Day.”


If we had a national primary day, the candidate with the most money would likely win quite easily, since grassroots candidates wouldn’t be able to concentrate on winning Iowa, NH or SC and then building upon that momentum to raise money and campaign in other states. I think it would be fairer if different states got to go first once in a while, but we should maintain a system in which primaries are a week or so apart.

First of all, the Primary Season is way too long, which of course benefits the candidates with the most money.

I like the idea of breaking it out into maybe 3 primary days, spread out over one month. Each of the days has a mix of small states/large states, so that the number of electoral votes on each day is roughly the same.......after each one, the bottom one or two candidates must drop out.
