“The Republican Primary process is FUBAR. Here’s the way to do it......”
You are correct that the primary process is wrong. Your solutions are wrong as well. My solution:
(1) All primaries will be “primaries” NO Caucauses.
(2) All primaries will be CLOSED to registered Republicans only...NO open primaries.
(3) I more or less do agree with you that primaries should be over in less than two months.
(4) IF no candidate has 51% of delegates after primaries are over....then do a runoff simultaneously in all 50 states on the same date between the two candidates with the most votes. Get a candidate that actually is most wanted, not just the best surviver.
(5) Eliminate a convention as being EVER a mode of selecting a candidate. Conventions exist only for PR purposes to crown the winner of voter primaries.
So you think the GOP in DC should select a county and precinct chair in Iowa? That Republicans never meet face-to-face in their own neighborhoods?
