10. I can think of a whole bunch of disadvantages

For starters
- Wasted funds that could be better spent.
- Desperate candidates attacking and weakening serious candidates
- Missing candidates in other important Senate races
- Too much noise to really focus on the quality candidates
- Too little scree time in debates to have a nuanced discussion
- Weakening of the pool of quality staffers available for good candidates

That's just for starters.

I think we need to be in single digits by the Fall or we will have a disaster on our hands. It feels like trying to govern by committee and is not helping.

Bear in mind that this forum is comprised of a bunch of inside baseball political junkies. It might be fun for us to get to know 25 people and watch them duke it out. For the typical primary voter, this is a confusing mess.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
