Julián Castro Calls for Change in Order of Primaries — ‘I Don’t Believe That We’re the Same Country

I agree. I do not live in the same country, speaking from a cultural perspective, as Noo Yawk, Noo Joisey, Taxachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maryland, (northern) Illinois, Oregon, (western) Washington, California, or Hawaii. Not of these states support the Constitution of the United States as written.

Wow, someone named Castro is complaining about the United States. I am shocked.

Partner, great response and yes, we are shocked coming from a DemonRat total failure named Julian Castro.

He is probably an "Anchor Baby".

After The American Hating Piece of Work Obama" it seems like nobody cares one bit.

Just do it alphabetically.

Sit your brown ass down, Juanita ...

The states can do whatever they want, But the National Committees have the final word. As when they penalized Florida When Cankles thought FL (via DWS) would give her an unbeatable early lead.

Mizzou would be better than Iowa, I like NH where it is because it exposes pretenders. The Donkey cart will dump Castro after his 26 votes in NH if not before ... and really he’s just bitching about his upcoming embarrassment in both states, the pity puta...

The La Raza candidate has spoken.

The primaries could be grouped by number of electoral votes, to even stuff out, and eliminate the "super tuesday" kinds of phenomena. That would still likely require the reordering of the primaries -- but hey, are the schedules up to the individual states? Any such change (Castro's, or this one), to be effective, would require either A) cooperation and negotiation among the state gubmints, or B) a US Constitutional amendment allowing the crooks in Washington Congress to set the schedule. And not all states have primaries, some have caucuses, which are old school (sometimes in the sense that "smoke filled rooms" are old school).

538 total, 270 needed to elect, figures from 2010 census, US Census Bureau -- 55+38+29+29+20+20+18+16+16+15+14=270, thus, 11 largest states, California to New Jersey.

I’m in Iowa, and politicians here are fully owned by the ethanol lobby. Not so sane after all.
