“game it” is a loaded term

Why shouldn’t more conservative states have early primaries, the system needs to be un-gamed IMO

I have no problem with that characterization, if only because I think every state has been trying to do that in some way or another to score points, or just to matter. I hate the whole primary system. Almost makes you long for the back-room negotiation days from when the convention might have actually been important. (”Might have” b/c despite my age, I don’t remember a time when they were actually important.)

That’s exactly it - the more liberal states moved their primaries early, and the citizens of other states are basically disenfranchised because of it.

It’s ironic that it is the South that once again is fighting to remove the federal boot from the state’s neck.

I often hear, “The south will rise again”. It can’t happen fast enough.

Quite. I’m sick of gullible Iowa and NH yokels foisting loser RINOs on us.

The Politico chose fighting words. They hate the fact the south and conservatives will have more say. They think that is a losing formula, but yet The last two presidential elections the GOP had very bad rino moderate leftists nominees who did not win for the Republicans. I think The Politico is highly unhappy a conservative will get momentum.
