Which are not over yet, in case you haven't noticed. I have not yet gotten the chance to vote and neither have many people. And all these calls to "shut this puppy down" just feed right into the narrative about it being rigged. Let people vote and then we can come together.

If the party wants to avoid the primaries going on for too long in the future they should shorten the window for states to conduct their primaries. But short-circuiting it midway through before half the voters get to weigh in is insulting and counter productive.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
