In my view, the best way is to have contests that mirror the general election.
The general election allows everybody who's registered to vote to participate in the process.
If we have a primary process like we did in 2016 in places like Wisconsin and Michigan and New Hampshire, where independent voters early in the process make a choice of what side they want to go to and who they want to support, I think we will have much stronger candidates in the general election than if we limit the participation, which the Democratic Party did in so many places in 2016.
Well, first of all, they took over the Democratic National Committee.
Okay.
This is supposed to be a neutral party that, you know, administers the process fairly amongst all the candidates who qualify to run.
And from the beginning, they were controlling the committee.
For example, the debates, when the debates were announced, you know, in the fall of 2015, I got a call from a top official of the DNC.
So we're going to announce a debate schedule.
There's four debates.
You know, one of them was on the Saturday night before Christmas, you know, and, and,
And, you know, when Obama ran against Hillary eight years before, there were many more debates, you know, and it was, you know, much more of an open process.
And, you know, I sort of knew when I got that call and 15 minutes later, they put out the debate schedule that the fix was in.
But 15 minutes after that, when Hillary Clinton went on Twitter and said, I accept the debate schedule, there it was for everybody, for the whole world to see.
And, you know, that debate schedule really, as we found out later, when the, you know, emails were released through WikiLeaks,
you know, was controlled by the Clinton campaign.
They laid it out to the DNC, the DNC administered it.
And other things of that nature happen as well.
Later in the campaign, after, you know, the first debate was held, really in mid-December, when Bernie was gaining, and you know what it's like, Mark,
Because you were there on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire.
