Except that this is a state and local issue, not a federal issue (which Michigan tried to fix and it's still really messed up).
The inherent problem with the primaries (although I admit they are necessary) is that you have to pit people with similar philosophies and ideas against each other. It's tough to attack their stands on the issues, so, in our attacking political environment, they end up attacking things that shouldn't even be brought up. Then, after the primaries and the Conventions, they have to all rally to support the very person they attacked.
