Open primaries suck
What a bad idea. After this cycle, any chance they get rolled back?

1. I'm beginning to agree
I don't think they're bad in principle, because I think everybody should have a say (especially independents), but if they're just going to give rise to all this "the Republicans like your candidate better!", "No they like you better!" shouting, we've got to ask if all this acrimony is really worth it to our party in the long run.

2. I thought they were always a bad idea.
A really, really bad idea. The only reason to vote in another party's primary is to fuck with it.
