6. If you want to have every primary on the same day there is no reason to even vote.

Just give the nomination to the person with the highest name recognition and most money. There is a reason why the primaries start with small states one at a time. It's so people without money and national name recognition can make their case to the people in the state. This is how Jimmy Carter won the nomination. He wouldn't have had a chance if it was all on the same day. You think too much money is spent on the primaries now? That is nothing compared to what would need to be spent for every candidate to run a national campaign.
