Who pays for the primaries?

[Хahar 🤔]

Look at how much people bitch about caucuses, which are party-funded.

We don't need either one....if parties don't want to pay for primaries....they're perfectly free to just nominate their candidates the way they do in the rest of the world.

I don't care either way.

The way candidates are nominated is, IMO, better in the United States than elsewhere. That said, it suffers from the same problem as othe American elections, which is that a candidate can buy the electorate.
