Don’t recall any part of the constitution that talks about party primaries.
This mass # of candidates isn’t cute or a celebration of our constitution. It’s an ever growing group of narcissists that will screw up everything and will give the Dem nominee a cake-walk.
The number of stupid quotes from this many people will be mined and parceled out for months!
In some ways you are correct. However, the constitution gives the requirements for running for President and definitely doesn’t limit how many can run. We are actually better off then the Democrats who have 4. Two of them are old. One is a nobody Governor and one is just a nobody Republican turned Democrat. We have a wide variety of candidates who even our worse is better then their four.
