Why not just have a national primary day, where every state votes?

Because that's just too easy.
Yeah, it is too easy.

I think we should keep the primaries. It makes the months leading up to the conventions very interesting.
IT isn't fair that the people of Iowa and NH have more power in selecting the president of the US than the other states combined in the primaries.

I like New Hampshire.
Get an NH avatar then.

I never said it was fair. I said the primaries made the whole process interesting.
Okay, I misunderstood what you said.

Note how DC set a January primary date this year but was awarded no delegates with that vote.
DC has caucuses coming up, which does award delegates.

Political parties should hold their own primary elections and schedule it for whenever they want -- and the party should pay for it themselves.  There's no reason why non-members of a party should pay for the party's primary election.

If you did that everyone would registered independent.

Why should independents be forced to pay for primaries in which they are excluded?

It's not that they should, but I don't see an alternate solution.

How about a national primary day, where both parties have their primaries?
