primary will disenfranchise a significant number of people? Do you think that caucuses are inclusive? Because caucus disenfranchise a lot and I mean a lot of voters, the voters who actually need to have a say in choosing who represents them.

So have a nation wide primary when the last state usualy votes or caucuses. The politicians can campaign as usual . Personally I think they campaign too fucking much, cut back on that shit and have nation wide televised debate, Their campaigns show nothing of their coalition building skills it shows what politicians owe them favors. It shows who can bullshit the best.

Bernie sure is right on that. i think primaries should be one day nation wide. Autumn Apr 2016 #1
