It is a joke.
Truthfully, is a joke.
What the U.S. needs is a entire national primary in May, tabulated solely by the overall number of votes a candidate receives. I find it stupid that individual states receive so much more significance in a primary than others. What makes them better? Absolutely nothing. All the Democratic and Republican voters here in Oregon rarely ever get a chance to decide anything in a primary, but are they less of Democrats or Republicans? I think the answer is no.
By using a system relying solely on a popular vote, we will be able to assess the views of the entire nation over a candidacy, which would makes sense considering the office is a national office. There will be no disparity in significance, no moronic political posturing, no convoluted methods of assessing supports, and no pathetic media frenzy. While I know tradition will never allow this, it would be truly what is best for our nation.
