That's true. Historically, they didn't even have primaries. The party bosses decided who would be their candidate. It might have done us some good last year because, though I'm sure Hilary would have gotten the Democratic nod anyway, the Republicans would certainly have chosen someone other than Trump, possibly Rubio who seemed to have started out as the heir apparent.
