16. I don't get and never have gotten "the little guy" argument......
..but anyway, little guys and gals are what the first elimination round would be about.

Television and internet coverage would give ALL "little guys" and "little gals" plenty of free coverage depending on the appeal of those who are offering themselves as candidates. Such universal free coverage would do much to deflect the impact of big money and corporate interests.

Again, that is a discussion regarding campaign finance which certainly has an impact on any election process but not that much on scheduling those elections.

The present system makesd many states irrelevant unless there is a race like the present one where two candidates are virtually tied for the nomination.

And in the past, many states, late on the calendar, have indeed been irrelevant. My system guarantees the relevance of ALL the states.
