If I ran the RNC the only delegates that would be awarded in determining the nominee would be in closed primaries.

The states could do whatever they wanted but anything less than a closed primary would carry no more weight than a straw poll.

After this year's primary elections, the RNC should do something different. Most people haven't paid much attention to the primary process before this year (myself included). For the Republicans, it appears the current system isn't reflective of the peoples' true choice. Open primaries, or closed primaries with independents, allow Democrats to have a big voice in the Republican's choice. Maybe the RNC likes it the way it is?
