I think I know how that survey would turn out.

Yeah, the GOP has a Trump primary problem. It had a Tea Party problem a few years back as well.
It’s a basis to scrap primaries. They’re awful. Counterproductive. And let’s face it — only nuts vote in them. In many states, independents can’t even vote in a primary.
If you care enough to vote in a primary you need a fucking hobby. People who get excited about them should probably be encouraged not to vote. …Maybe give them free vouchers to the casino on primary voting days.
