Primary: Early states get way too much influence

Can you think of a more stupid way to choose a party candidate for president? I don’t think so.

We let a few states vote first, then drop out candidates they don’t like, thus ignoring the preferences of most voters in the country.

No, I can’t think of a dumber way. Can you?
