Although an interesting contrafactus, I don't think it is wise to interject such an hypothesis into the discussion. Certainly there is no gain to be had for such a supposition. I mean other than opening the door for folks to make shit up.

But I will DURec your OP so we can see.

I am not optimistic, however.

So no, Hillary wouldn't have won a single one of those states if they were primaries. There's no way it makes that much of a difference.

But we get to MI and she had major upset so now open primaries = bad
NV, Iowa caucus = OK others bad when she does not win them

lower to middle class people, who cannot take 3-5 hours out of their day for it.
I think they should all have mail in voting. Works in Oregon- which is probably going to Bernie.
