When a party is stupid enough to let Democrats vote in their primaries, what can they expect but a weak candidate to emerge? The states with the highest percentage of GOP voters should have the first primaries, the rest in descending order till you hit less than 30%. If your state polled less than 30% for this presidential election, you should not be allowed to have a primary at all, because the chances of these states helping to elect a GOP president are slim to none.

It’s way past time for some tough rules requiring the northeast to eat the ****
sandwich they’ve cooked up.

More or less. First stop: kick Iowa to the curb in regards to having the first caucus. Perhaps it made sense in 1956, but it has LONG been a negative for everyone. The state simply has too many cattle, be they four- or two-legged (both irrespective of party affiliation).

Primaries areset by state law....not sure they can “opt out” because it’s an open primary. Though I agree that open primaries are stupid.
