  1. So, basically, Democrats want to vote on who Republicans nominate for the general election.

    1. I don’t trust them to do anything right, so why would I want they helping determine who the Republican candidates will be? If the South Dakota Democrats don’t distance themselves from anything that is being done the by DC Democrats they should be lumped in with them.

  2. Actually, the biggest impact is it will reduce the number and and quality of Democrat candidates as now they will be assured of having to go through two elections to win. Beyond crazy for a minority party to desire this.

  3. Doesn’t this force Libertarians or other 3rd parties to compete in primaries vs. their own conventions??

    Bad idea for 3rd parties

  4. At least our AG is still working hard at his job and doing what he is supposed to. Glad to see him getting things done.
