| 1. Most of the times these primaries happen long after the nominee is decided |
|
so they probably didn't think about it.

| 4. It gives the candidates time to actually campaign there |
|
The entire process should be like that instead of this Ultra Tuesday bullshit. Iowa and New Hampshire are only king makers when we move every single state to a week or two after New Hampshire instead of giving candidates time to recover from an Iowa or New Hampshire loss.

| 7. What's the point of having them at all, if the winner doesn't get to be the nominee? |
