"from your lips to G-d's ears" - with anyone and everyone being free to substitute the deity of their choice.

I *do* think there is some advantage to fighting through a primary in as many states as possible in terms of building organizational structure and momentum, but it would seem that the advantages would be outweighed by the disadvantages here.

Primary after Primary of them - at minimum, killing the candidacy of any potential nominee by the holding of feet to the fire and callings to the carpet for past stances, and at maximum, producing a *truly* unelectable candidate - I think I can get behind that.

Because I think the party is only so many steps away from internal collapse/implosion. The more time they get, the more failing support beams get kicked down in the melee.
