This is supposed to be about solving problems. This is government is supposed to be about people coming together and deciding, OK, what do we need to address this issue? How do we address that issue? So many of our founders warned us. Watch out for factionalism. Watch out for partisanship.

But we were having people with a different letter behind their name, whether it's Republican or independent or anything else, do it. I'm here for solving problems. And I think as long as we have a system that allows elected officials and candidates to sort of say, well, I don't have to solve your problems as long as I can convince you that so-and-so over here is worse than me.

I think that's wrong. So I think we should have a single open primary.
