@TheRobbyWarner @MariaLangholz This is why all primaries and caucuses should happen simultaneously. The country’s situation can change, and new info can surface, between first and last contests. Every state should get to choose among the full array of candidates. And none should have to quit before the end.
@TheRobbyWarner @MariaLangholz Under the current system, candidates who might even have won are forced out by poor showings in early contests; and some (like Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, etc.) are pressured to quit at a certain time to avoid “hurting” some other candidate who at the time has more “momentum”.
@TheRobbyWarner @MariaLangholz And candidates are denounced especially for staying in the race “just to go to the convention” to have an input into the platform and nomination, or even possibly be selected as a compromise nominee. Even though these are all legitimate and permissible aspects of the process.
