Really, Mr. Barone? All it has shown me is that the primary process is incredibly corrupt.
It’s really not that much different than a 100 yrs. ago. aside from a few cases. Oh, you don’t have the smoke filled rooms where deals are cut, money is exchanged, promises of contracts and positions and candidates then picked by Party bosses. Now you have the RNC and the senate and house republican election mechanisms which are supposed to “remain neutral” in primaries out and out campaigning for the GOPE selection.
Once that selection is made money, resources, national and state parties are directed to support said selection to ensure that the people really have little to no say. As I said sure you knock one of these slime bags out every now and then but it’s not often. Primaries are a joke at this point and open primaries even more so.
We have no say but like to think we do and they want us to keep thinking that way, it’s worked so far.
