Unfortunately not. I think runoffs are stupid, but there are states that require a primary to have 50 percent. It’s irritating and idiotic, but what can you do...

Runoffs are bad news for incumbents and the establishment. Cruz would not be a senator for Texas without runooffs. There have been several now that have unseated the GOP-e candidates. Expect there to be a major establishment push to get rid of run offs.
