One thing no one seems to talk about is the abject, illogical lunacy of open primaries where you let your opposition chose your candidate.

What in hell is wrong with a political party and its leadership that thinks this is a good idea?

An open primary may not be idea, but it’s the rules as they existed during the election. Changing them in mid-stream, even to improve them, would make a farce of the election.

This issue bothers me to no end. The parties should nominate their
own candidates in the primaries, and run the winners in the elections.

There should be no such ugly, stupid animal as an “open primary.”

You are quite correct, Child. It is sheer lunacy to allow our enemies
to choose our candidates.
