what do you say to my post #16?

I have been a delegate at a convention to nominate candidates. For me, it is the best way to get a Republican candidate who will get the support of the active Reps who will do most of the work for and funding of a candidate. They also know the issues better than the general public.

Primaries, closed or not, take money to run and they are biased in favor of candidates who have the most money. And Reps engaged in a competitive primary must spend more money that could be used in the general election.
