Why not have a national primary where all the states and territories vote in their respective caucus’s and primaries on the same day.”

1) Then the candidate with most visibility will be the media-chosen candidate and not the candidate who does best at the marathon of local / state political races with the grassroots base.
2) You can also say goodbye to Federalism.
3) No winnowing as we had in pre-2008 primaries means the national primary may not decide anything.Back to convention selections.

So, one of the smallest states in the union having a clear advantage in the nominating process is a Federalist notion? Might want to rethink that one......
