The most common means of nominating candidates in the U.S is by either caucus or a primary. Some of them either falls into getting a majority vote, a threshold vote level and then there is a run-off or no run off, winner take all and variations there-of. Right now for the GOP, redistricting of "safe" districts guarantees an almost automatic win for the GOP candidate. And there are 2 things to consider in a primary:
1. The mid-term elections are almost always low voter turn-out. Therefore it favors the most committed. Whose wants and aspirations might not gybe with the rest.
2. As one political observer where I live noted: "The crazy quotient is inversely proportional to the population."
Well, one more day. We'll see what God has in store.
