6. It's not just the Dem Party.

The GOP is frantically trying to rearrange the deck chairs. Since the Parties want to provide the candidate of their choice, why not let them just present that for the General? They could conduct their search in any manner they choose, it would be up to the electorate to confirm that choice. Actually the Parties could go on-line, mail, or phone if they want. My personal preference would be for one prescribed election day that would be a National holiday in which only critical services were allowed open and provisions made for those critical workers to vote. It would be a great day to dedicate to our Country, a Democracy Day.
