Do you hate Hillary because of the causes she champions?

Speaking personally, I mistrust Hillary because she reminds me very strongly of Nixon. She seems to have an air of entitlement to power and a very aristocratic contempt for anyone who might question her. The fact that she champions archaic, 1950′s era solutions to 21st century problems provokes no stronger emotion than annoyance.

I think republicans who toy with the democratic process are treasoness.

Open primaries are created specially to allow those who are independents or who belong to other parties to vote. It has its advantages to parties themselves. Parties, like any other similar organization (like churches), tend to dominated by the most extreme and dedicated elements. Selections by those elements produces candidates at the extremes of the electorate. Open primaries allows for the selection of candidates more likely to win in general elections.

Parties themselves chose the form of their primaries. If you don’t like the Democrats having an open primary you might want to talk to them.
