29. Right
Whatever your feelings on the popular vote, electoral college, or any of the rest of it, changing the rules in the middle of an election is a real bad idea. Everyone knew how a caucus and all the rest of it worked and everyone had the same chances to plan their campaign strats and compete under the same rules. If they didn't do as well as they wished that's just poor campaigning.

It's a bit late in the game to move the goalposts now. If you want to talk change for next election I've my doubts about the system too but we don't change the rules in the middle of the game. This one we finish with the same rules we started with.
