23. I would love to see a primary system

that guarantees all 50 states get a legit chance to decide the nominee. The long primary fight greatly benefited our nominee. Had Hillary left the race early, Obama would not have beaten McCain in IN or NC. And PA and OH would have been much closer contests.


However, I would like to see the delegate system change. I still think it's MUCH better than a winner take all system. But Primary Victories in PA and NJ should yield more delegates than a victory in Idaho. In 2008 that was not the case.
