Since the GOP is a dying party, maybe the US should switch to the Top 2 system that California uses [View all]

[fried eggs]

In June 2010, voters approved the Top Two Primary system for what were formerly called “partisan” statewide offices. With the Top Two Primary, all candidates running for one of these offices are listed on one ballot, regardless of their party preference, and all voters will see the same list of candidates, regardless their own party registration. The top two vote-getters for each office will go on to the general election, regardless their party preference.

If we don't, then we'll continue to see lopsided presidential elections where the thought of the republican nominee winning is unimaginable and downright scary. Under a Top 2 system, the best candidates would emerge, and they'd most likely both be democrats (or a democrat and a green or independent). Imagine how much more intelligent the level of debate would be? Instead of being forced to watch republican men tell women what to do with their uteruses, we could hear debates on climate change, drug legalization, war, etc. This would also address the concerns of people who prefer third party candidates.
