Dear Iowegians,

[AshevilleApp]

This year has convinced me that the major parties shouldn't have caucuses OR primaries. They should just have committee meetings among people in State Party Executive Committees and select candidates so that reasonably rational people are selecting the candidates.

What we are seeing this year is a reasonable possibility that we could have Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders. Probably not but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. And Donald Trump is particularly possible.

The primary voter types have amply demonstrated that they can't be trusted to select reasonable candidates.

That's the answer. Take the choices away from the majority of citizens and allow the elite to rule more than they already do.

This is what is done in my state. And there are some real douchebags on these committees. The idea sucks.

We need a national primary election, on the same day, in September, two months prior to the primary election. Campaigns for the primary election should not be allowed to start until January 1 of the year of the election, and ALL candidates should be pre-qualified prior to being allowed on the primary ballot.

WTF do I care how it feels?

Exactly. Women will bitch about anything.

WTF is "menopause"?

A feminist conspiracy.

Why limit it to primaries?

We need a six-week campaign, like the Brits do. That's the total: if a state wants to have a primary, squeeze it into week 1 or 2. This perpetual-campaign stuff is ridiculous.

Fuck Virginia! (sorry 89hen)

I have no ties to VA and their drivers are second only to DC for being asshats.

All MoCo-icans wish they lived in VA. Don't deny it.

I'm actually all for this. How long do we really have to get people that we k iw so much about?

[Chizzang]

[YoUDeeMan]

Why bother to limit campaigns?

That is a really dumb idea. Who gives a rat's arse if there are 50 primaries/caucuses that stretch over however long?

If you don't want to hear anyone, then don't watch or listen. As far as the phone calls go, it really isn't that hard to use Called ID or some other similar program (and who has a land line these days anyhow).

Let them blather on...why try to limit free speech?

And why limit the candidates? That is ridiculous and lazy.

'Merica gets what we deserve...and in the last four presidential contests, we ended up with Dumb and Dumber. Very fitting...the idiots on both sides should be proud.
