"Reform should start by nixing this idiotic Iowa/New Hampshire start."

Bingo!

No "reform" should go forward without eliminating this archaic and harmful process.

The Iowa Caucus is just an absurd practice….and it’s nothing but a fund raiser for the Iowa parties….way outsized in importance. Meanwhile, NH is an oddball little population with a lot of cross over voters. Neither does a good job of picking a Republican winner…..tho it works great for Dems.

The first real primary of any kind of reasonable electorate is SC, which even tho a smallish state, has a turn out of more than Iowa’s weird caucus and NH’s tiny populations combined….but then it’s on to huge Florida after only one “normal” state.

Put the first primary in Texas...ok, I'm biased.

And get rid of open primaries.
