“The Republicans need to stop all open primaries”
Exactly. And I suspect that the new occupant won’t do that. That’s the litmus test. We need to take back the GOP, that’s why one of the links above is “GOP jobs”. 3rd party ain’t going to happen. Without taking back the GOP we’re screwed. If Steele stops the open primaries he’s good, otherwise he’s bad - it’s pretty simple really
And when it comes to presidential primaries we need to move the southern one’s up with the blue states that are running the show and picking the nominees for us.
I agree completely. But there needs to be far more than that. The Republican Party needs to recommit to a genuine conservative message and repent of all the big spending and government growth of the Bush era.
What you said. That's what got us McCain, which in turn got us -1.
