Sorry but independents have the right to vote in primaries. Are you advocating close primaries for just Republican registered voters? Were these primaries closed for Republicans during Reagan time for example? GW Bush?
close=closed
Not in New Jersey. This is handled state by state.
It seems kind of ridiculous to allow non-Republicans to decide who gets to run as a Republican. But it is a very effective way for the moderate Republicans to keep control when the situation is right.
Yes. I think GOP voters should choose the GOP nominee.

As stated before, there have been many “tweakings” of primaries to achieve desired outcomes.
So you support open primaries? Well, doesn't THAT just speak volumes about you...!!!!
Easy, just have any independent that wants to vote in a primary ‘declare’ for that year. And show up at that poll both in the primary and in November. at least they’d only be able to vote once and have to suffer thru the same junk mail as the rest of us...oh, never mind that’s kind of the way it is now. So yep, most of us agree that (I) should have a subscript, (R or D) which is the primary that you must always show up for ( so at least we know who is causing the problem).
