No, but we should (first) replace the FPTP system with an IRV voting system, and (second) kick the crazies out. By "crazies", I only mean the people that support Trump. Cruz-fans, Paul-fans, heck, even Carson-fans are still sort-of okay-ish.

I like the way you think! Implement Instant Runoff Voting! Maybe even have blanket primaries once again where voters, whether D, R, I or O, can vote for the candidate they like the most!!

Yes!  IRV is great and, at the very least, take the Jungle Primary national.  Enough of the weirdos flipping the table over and whining like little children when they don't get their way.  And to be clear, even though the Tea Party comes to mind first, I am directing this just as much toward people like DeBlasio and Bernie.

I remember talking with my dad about election reform and how the primary systems work in each state. Then he mentioned that he liked the system where you could be registered independent but you'd get a ballot for all offices and could vote for a Democrat for US Senator, Republican for US House and Libertarian for Governor, for example. The blanket primary! Smiley
