So they’re already planning to force their own selected candidates on us.
lol Of course they are. Now while I think there are WAY to many candidates, I’ve got even more problem with a news entertainment organization deciding who gets to debate.
But. The GOP e knows already who they want and I would need some pretty big odds to bet against them getting that individual.
No, the current Republican candidate field is a stampede, not a pool.
Let’s agree on how we vote off wannabes off the island.
1) One must file petitions for the Feb 20 SC primary by the first week of December. Only the candidates with the top 5 number of signatures on petitions should be considered for support. That favors the candidate with strong grassroots support and a strong ground game over the candidate with money for TV ads or name recognition.
2) The day after the NH primary, only candidates in the top 5 in either IA or NH should be considered for SC.
3) The same for all primaries after SC; but escalated. Must have been in the top 5 in 2 out of 3. Then in the top 5 in 3 out of 4.
The grassroots enforcing a vote off the island system in FR and TP and similar groups will encourage the wannabes to consolidate.
(I can enthusiastically support most anyone running except Jeb and Cristie and Lindsay who will be in the top 5 in SC and hopes to be #1 in SC. Our #1 job is to consolidate against Lindsay, who is right about as often as a broken clock.)
Yeah. What else is new?
