A national primary day is not going to happen for the same reason that cat herder is not a job. There’s no good mechanism to get every state to toe some national line. If you son’t belive me, then why not start this national primary effort by finding out where NH and Iowa stand ion the issue. Dp=on’t expect a warm welcome.

Fortunately, the fact that it won’t happen is a good thing. That we choose our final candidates via a slow, long, gradual weeding-out process is sensible.

IMO, the people who want a national primary day are idiots in addition to being pipedreamers. And while this suggests that 2/3 of democratic voters are idiots, that’s probably not the case. I think most folks just haven’t thought it through. The only folks who are true idiots are those who have thought it through and explored both the dynamics of how possible it is (IOW isn’t) and the adverse effects of such a change, and are still for it.

1) National Primary
2) Anyone Below 20% is cut
3) Another month of campaigning
4) Survivors do a run-off
5) Anyone below 35% is cut
6) another month of campaigning
7) Final Primary Run-Off

Of course, small states get fucked her but the people who support national primary day are lame.

Also, no way in hell can I read the CAPTCHA.

I absolutely agree with your skepticism about the results of this poll. It’s too soon to look back on it objectively and once we’re fully involved in the general election I don’t believe it will be too much of a factor.

Maybe to the contrary, because just think how much more damaging it would’ve been if the GOP were bringing out all of these controversies for the first time! When Hillary’s best argument was that she was fully vetted as a candidate, how ironic is it that she served to make sure that has su been done for Mr. Obama. Now whether or not it has been completely done is the question.
