“I bet all the commie-libs in SC are voting Trump. It’s an open primary. Great strategy.”

Uh, there’s a contest on the other side, you know. Unlike in 2008, when the Dems bombed Fred Thompson’s campaign by voting for McStain, they don’t have the ability to stay away from their own primary this time.

That said, I despise the very idea of an “open” primary. Why call it a Republican (or Democrat, for that matter) primary if someone can declare their preference the day of an election? There should be national rules, that you must be a declared whatever at least 1 year before a primary to be eligible to vote in the primary.

I agree, I cannot think of a reason for an open primary. It reeks fraud.
