Did I miss the part about not allowing crossover democrats to select the republican candidate in the primaries?

Yup. The democrats have it down to an art form. Make sure they have a candidate who will win the primary with little or no opposition leaving them free to vote for the most liberal republican they can find.
The GOP wouldn’t figure it out if Howard Dean won the GOP nomination with write in ballots alone.

It's not so easy as all that. In many cases, primaries are governed by state law. Other states don't have formal party registration. The Republicans could probably run caucuses (like in Iowa), but in many cases lose state funding for the costs of running the show. In some cases, party resources might not be enough to handle it (e.g. caucuses in California).

read post 19.
open primaries or closed primaries, it does not matter.
We will pick the guy who is next.
We do this because the guy who is next has been vetted the time before, campaigned in front of a lot of people and is a proven campaigner, has seen and understands how a national campaign works and has made a lot of donors believers in him.
We will pick from Ryan, Romney, Santorum or Bush.
