The Tea Party/Conservative vote got split between too many candidates, allowing the GOPe candidate to be the last man standing. How do we stop that from happening again?

Move all primaries to a 45-60 day window and rotate which ones go first.

I agree and a solution to this would be great.

The way to do it is to coalesce around Ted Cruz, who gave us the magnificent 21 hours. As far as conservatives splitting the vote goes, we haven't had a conservative of the caliber of Ted Cruz for decades. Instead, we've had a whole lot of people spouting conservative rhetoric, pandering to us for votes.

Looking at the US Senate, the exception might be Jeff Sessions. He seems pretty solid in understanding and supporting constitutioanl conservative values.
