We should end primaries period.

1. It is expensive to open enough polls to allow everyone to vote in a primary. Why should government tax money be used to help a political party (they are both private entities, btw) pick their nominee?

2. Voters in primaries are often as ill informed about the candidates. Often it comes down to being little more than a poularity/beauty contest.

3. Caucuses don’t cost the state/taxpayers as much money as primaries.

4. Caucuses tend to be dominated by the party faithful. People that follow the issues and candidates.
