I guess I have a feeling that closing down the primaries is somewhat overkill but here is the problem.
The primaries have become the home of ding bats like this guy. Continuing an open conversation, I agree, is healthy, but the conversation is with stalking horses and ding bats not with those who might have to stick their neck out like Romney, Lee, or the Postman.

You make a very good point, no disagreement here. My only argument is what we all witnessed in 2016 - Trump made mincemeat out of Low Energy Jeb and Little Marco. A good and powerful candidate can run these sissies over just like that. It took him no effort at all. What I don’t like is the possibility of closing off good arguments that would help us include perspectives that come from other candidates.
