He couldn't bring 'moderates' to the polls in the primary.

Moderates do not vote in primaries.

Moderates, by definition, are not "into politics", do not follow primary races closely, etc.

Primary races are for the most politically engaged voters, and those voters are rarely neutral or moderate.

Yes, people do vote in primaries for the candidates they want- and against the ones they don’t.

Conservatives usually have an advantage in R primaries,but it’s a very small advantage in Del. where the electorate is so liberal right?
An easy one to overcome for a viable candidate- in a healthy system.

The Delaware Republican Party nominated a candidate they couldn’t win with because they couldn’t nominate one they could win with- and that’s sick.
