Allowing the 80% of Americans to vote is stealing. Well known fact. Great fact. Amazing fact. One of my favorites. Movement conservatives have been cheated. Caucuses are the only democratic way to vote. Another one of my favorite facts.

The nominating contests are not national semifinals.

What's undemocratic is that the two major parties control ballot access, media access, debate access, etc.  You want to look at what's wrong with the process, start there.

This is the pathway to the future.


This is like the collapse of the MA Whigs playing out within the GOP over various cycles, instead of with successor parties that take its place.

Trump is the equivalent of MA Know-Nothing William Gardner, who demolished the Whig Party in MA, ran on an anti-immigrant platform and both himself and his supporters were labeled as crazy and ignorant. However, within three years, he had been supplanted by the Republicans.
