How do the 250,000 caucus goers earn the right to be national judges
of candidates ??

Stupid, ain't it? I have no idea why all states don't hold their primaries on the
same day.

I don't usually comment on politics, as it is a losing battle in a public forum, and
will comment on the system, not the people, in this case.

It bothers me to no end, that some states get to weed out the field, before I get a
chance to vote on the entire bunch of candidates.

The last time there were primary elections, the person I wanted to vote for was
eliminated in the first few weeks of primaries. The states that had not voted never got
to say who their first choice in the primaries should be.

That was not what our forefathers intended. The system has been corrupted.

What will it take to fix it? I have no idea, but I wish it would be fixed. I realize
why it has not been; because the powers wish it to stay as it is.

The first few primaries are all about money - convincing contributors to put their money
on you and not the other candidates. Only later is it about winning enough delegates for
the nominating convention.
