I’m starting to really appreciate closed primaries.

I have adamantly opposed open primaries from the get-go. Political parties are formed by like-minded people who band together in order to promote their agreed-upon beliefs and principles. Open primaries undermine this concept.

I agree, I don’t know why any party would want to have an open primary. what’s the point?

Now, a jungle primary, like they have in LA and now (I think) in CA, that makes some sense.

In those, if anyone doesn’t know, everyone runs and the top 2 vote getters face-off in the general.
