- Deborah DeBacker It wont be any different than an open primary. The Dems have no one to vote for so they will take a Republican ballot.

- R. George Dunn Now we need the Michigan Governor primary to be sent to Convention if less then 50% majority popular vote. Don't forget. Interesting thought. If a presidential candidate does not get 50% of the vote in a Congressional District, how about going to County caucus to declare winner, each being their own entity.

- Deborah DeBacker I remember before 2000, there were no winner take all. Delegates were apportioned according to the percentage of votes. National conventions meant something and all candidates came here.
