The democrats will choose the weakest GOP candidate...

Exactly, we need ALL primaries closed. When hannity’s hillary express got rid of the hildebeast, that opened the door for the present loser.

Never understood the logic behind open primaries.

And the scheduling needs to be revised.

In the 2012 cycle, I was throwing mud at all the candidates, as the new leaders, one by one, fell into oblivion. Some posters asked me who I was supporting. I responded that it didn't matter. My state primary was held so late in the spring that the race would be decided (as it was in 2008) long beforehand. It was. So any endorsement I would have made would have been irrelevant.

There should be maybe 4 SuperTuesdays. To make it easier on the candidates, Primary 1 would be all states with capitols in the Eastern time zone. Maybe 2-3 weeks later to give candidates time to campaign, Primary 2 in the Central time zone states, etc.

Or some similar configuration.
