Democratic Primaries

I know who I am going to vote for. That might change. I may vote for Amy by the time the campaign gets to Illinois' CLOSED PRIMARY.
The disaster is for Iowans and Iowans alone. Shrug it off, Democrats. Let the media have their kerfuffle. You might as well design an app for the Amish to make butter better.
But that said, I think that the campaigns should be nonchalant about it and just say. "Well, I think the Iowa caucus has seen its day. You can't shoe horn some Gen-Xer's side gig into a barn dance."
Treat yourself to a nice lunch, Dems.

(10,014 posts)I'm an Iowan and couldn't agree more.
Here's what I want. . .
No caucuses.
Closed primaries.
Rotating primaries among groups of states.
One person - one vote - end the Electoral College.

The primary changes can be done at the party level. I can't see getting to an electoral change in the next 20 years without taking the whole constitution down.

No bounce up for the others as its blurry, but Bidens loss is being magnified
