I guess you realize the Royal Society of Loud Whiners is gonna have a fit about the 20 bucks. They’ll yell, “Poll Tax,” “Racist,” “Divider,” “Women And Children Hurt Most,” etc.
Personally I’d prefer there be NO campaigning before Jan 1st of an election year. All primaries to be closed. If you wanna be an “independent,” tough.
The RS of LW can find some other party to support.
Not to mention the fact that if the Republicans were to pick this way we would be sending a nominee to the general who raised $500 million - $20 at a time from average Americans. The Democrats will be sending a nominee who raised $500 million from the Hollywierd elite, Unions Bosses, Big Business and special interests at $1000 a plate dinners. Who in the end will be able to apeal most to the RS of LW?
I agree wholeheartedly. This cycle started way too early and it is absurd to have Republican polls in which nonmembers vote.
What are your thoughts on when the primaries are held? I think it makes sense to have a few states at a time, but wonder how to decide which states vote first. How about a lottery style pick where the state that cast the most votes (proportionately) for the republican nominee in the prior election gets their choice of one of five dates (a month apart), and so on down the line?
This might allow the most "republican" states to have a choice of when they want to influence the process.
