The state parties are not government. They are parties, with their duly appointed leadership and processes. I'm not particularly sympathetic to people who both...
A. Run as member of a party, and...
B. Don't try to either ingratiate themselves with the party and/or take the whole fucking thing over.
I have a great deal of respect for people who DO try to storm the gates and take a state party over. I've seen it happen before, with the Paulites in Iowa. It's beautiful when it happens.
Robby Starbuck strikes me as someone who's too lazy and impatient to build a coalition, and too much of an idealistic outsider to play with the team he has to work with today.
If I could have done it in one primary in my own county, I would have. The RIGHT candidate (an ex-military MAGA father) came up a dozen votes short of a one-issue loudmouth Baptist millennial Steve King fanboy who LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE SOY WOJAK. We're gonna lose that one in the general, cuz this kid can't win that district.
I'm not really seeing the problem here.

“I just don’t see the issue of rigging the elections to ensure a certain person doesn’t win”.
You are retarded.
