That is not true at all. We let them do this because we thought "Open" primaries would be more "fair". This wasn't the case of being "boyscouts", after all the boy scout motto used to be "be prepared". (now I think it's "be fabulous" or something) Anyone that thought this through knew this was going to happen, we have seen it happen before. We need to take over the local party organization and make all party primaries be party only.
*Along with rules so changing party affiliation can't be done within a certain amount of time of an election or primary.
Maybe I shoudl have said a large group of Thugs will win against a solitary boy scout who is naive.
