Here???
no
It just doesn't pose a risk here.
it is still a stupid idea.
Do you see my point?
How, they both get sent to the general and no one on the left gets the seat
In this scenario that is the case, but there are many scenarios in which the democrat gets the seat at the start.
This is actually how we're gonna win Issa's old seat if that happens
All I am saying!
2 Rs, and a bunch of dems, that's a difference
Is let's not do this
That only works because it's in the primary.
We shouldn't just run purely 1 R everywhere
that wasn't my point.
And this is a primary, with a runoff election should no one hit 50% (which they won't)
I don't think it's a primary, I think it's a full blown runoff election.
And we're just trying to treat it as a primary
right?
No, because there's a bunch of candidates
It's not a runoff
It's a "special election" but it's a sort of jungle type of deal
When they vote Democrats and Republicans will all be on one ballot?
And if someone gets 50% they win the seat?
If someone gets 50% they get the seat
So it's a general election.
If no one does, the top 2 candidates get to a runoff election
yes
by technicality
So it's not a primary
Thus my point being.
This across the board, is a bad idea, we shouldn't ram as many candidates into the general election as possible.
it resembles jungle primaries more than it resembles a general election
Why not 2 in this case?
this is the end of Dlimpfovich McPutin
It's not a jungle primary because someone wins a set if they get 50% of the vote
It has resemblance
I don't see why my notion is that far out there.
because of the fact that the history of this seat has had 2 Rs go to a runoff
If someone wins the primary we should get behind them even if we don't like them instead of having faithless candidates who stay on the ballet till the end.
but they haven't
