Um...you said maybe have a primary for the party out of office. I gave you a history lesson.
There will be no test, I'm giving you a D- anyway for comprehension
And basically that's what happened this past election. And you beefed about it a lot. Political Parties were not exactly in the Founders' plans. Washington hated them.
They basically came about after a beef between Jefferson and Hamilton while they were in Washington's Cabinet. Then later expanded to the election of Adams and his squabbles with Jefferson (and others).
The President was originally ment to be chosen by a handful of men chosen as representatives from the states. Madison and company didn't trust handing the highest office to the rabble.
And that wastes what another second or so by the time they look at the clock, check the snap and throw the flag. It's 2025 not 1975, tie the goalpost or buzzer to the time lock to the snap lock. There's enough other stuff going on during the play to keep the refs occupied
I thought I'd start something new. One of my current interests is the road leading up the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The events and thoughts of the leaders of that time that lead to the decision to meet in Philadelphia in 1776. 1774 was a pivotal year with the events in Boston and the Colonies reaction to England's reaction the dumping of tea in the Boston Harbor (among other events).
Anyway, here goes

See above (my last post). It currently seems that Republican candidates for most state and federal offices are now chosen by one guy. The primaries are just for show
But then your guy Trump wouldn't have even made it down the escalator in 2015. I old enough to remember when the parties nominees were mostly chosen by back room deals.
See 1968, Hubert Humphrey
Given the timing of Biden's decision to drop out, a Democtatic Party primary would have probably been a cluster ****. An alternative could have been a meeting of the Party's Central Committee to choose a nominee. That decision would have created similar criticism.
The best possible solution was gone when Biden decided to run for re-election.
Of course, this is all hindsight.
Regarding the delayed or not called delay of game penalties. I saw a couple of stories about solutions. My favorite is wire the goalposts to light up when time expires on the play clock. That way the refs don't have to constantly keep one eye on the snap and the other on the clock. Either that or sound the horn when the P-C expires.
Except the Klan has been branded as the New American Knights or something like that

JUST IN: Jack Smith says AG Garland has not decided whether to release his reports to the public and won’t do so before Jan. 10 at the earliest.
Smith won’t send his classified docs report to Garland before this afternoon at 1pm.

One minor detail. He was convicted by a jury not a judge. That's the way the system works. His attorneys had a hand in picking the jury. Maybe they should have done better.
All criminals say the judge was crooked

After today, January 6th 2021 will fade. Some will continue to track the bad actors, study what a coup attempt looks like in America. But, fade it will until it happens again, fomented by social media, domestic terrorists, cowards & foreign influencers. Our political & justice system failed us.
It was a very small standing army. Size and scope was limited. The founders were very much aware of the British Army seizing homes and businesses following the events in Boston.
Post war there was a small militia to guard the settlers who moved beyond the Appalachians into lands that England had deeded to the native tribes in a treaty post 7 year war (another discussion for another time). Guys like Jefferson and Patrick Henry feared standing armies, so the size of the force was limited in size and scope. They mostly relied on state controlled militias (well regulated)
According to your interpretation I'm allowed to arm myself to protection against any MAGA neighbors who may also be armed because they don't like the county or state rezoning local land for a Mega Mart or something.
