It’s so amazing that people whom one would think should be familiar with basic Civics, just don’t seem to be able to process the idea that the Primary voting and campaigning cycle in politics is primarily intended to drum up enthusiasm and support for the entire party. The Primary Process is the parties’ foundation of all other Get Out The Vote efforts.
Without the primary campaigning and voting, turnout for a political party in the general might (will always) turn out low.
Colorado: A Cockeyed Caucus Born From “Condescending Benevolence”
The desire to win an election should not cause a Political Party to exclude the voters of their state from the Primary Process.
And, their own “condescending benevolency” [sic], sprung from an overestimated sense of superiority, for dang sure does not bestow upon the Republican Colorado State or the National Committee, the “moral imperative” to decide our Republican Presidential Candidate for us.
But these same “Political Insiders” think it’s a good idea to NOT adopt the platform of the leading candidate. They apparently think it’s a peachy idea to call 60 % of their base whacko-birds, toothless, jobless, welfare bum, dope fiend, trailer trash, who should just close up their small towns and communities and really just go die.
I’m starting to get really sick of wearing my “shocked face”.
