If you want to select a candidate earlier, dump the prolonged primary and convention system and find another path, but don't complain that the process is doing is working the way it was originally designed for.

Don't get me wrong. That's not why I am complaining. It's the system...not the net result of the system this go around.

I will admit that the Democratic process is somewhat better. The reason why is because it is a uniform system (even if it is unfair). While in the GOP, each state made up its own rules to determine how their alloted delegates would be handed out. That's even more screwed up!
