LOL, now you're contradicting yourself for the sake of justifying your partisan hackery. If every state held "contests" like ND/CO, T***p would've been lucky to get 100 delegates despite his huge lead in the polls.
T***p would not have even run in the GOP primaries if that were the case. Parties are private organizations and have no obligation to be "democratic".
Just go back to the smoke-filled room already. Otherwise, since you allowed T***p to happen, deal with the consequences.
I'm all in favor of going back to the smoke-filled room. Deciding nominations by primaries is kind of a failed experiment, IMHO. However, if the Republicans actually want to do that, then it would make more sense to do it in 2020. Doing so in 2016, after the primaries have already been held...seems problematic.
i would agree with this sentiment a lot more if the u.s.'s two-party system weren't so firmly entrenched, but considering how many races there are where the primary is effectively the "real" election…
