Open primaries are the cause of RINO's and eGOP, and lead to the dilution of political party values.
Ohio is just one of those 'Open Primary' States that give us the Kaisch; other States gave us the McClains, Romneys, Bushes and Ryans of the political watered down candidates.
One of the issues that needs to be addressed is the 'open' , or 'closed' primary in each individual State before we can have candidates with strong value convictions.

" First, one party could organize its voters to vote in the other party's primary and choose the candidate that they most agree with
or that they think their party could most easily defeat.
Secondly, in the open primary moderates and independent voters can vote in either party.
This occurrence may dilute the vote of a particular party and lead to a nominee who does not represent the views of his or her particular party."

“The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.”
