Arizona Representative Phil Lovas (R-Peoria) has introduced HB 2017, to hold the Arizona presidential primary on the same day that the major parties in Iowa hold their presidential caucuses. The bill provides that in case the Iowa caucuses are no longer the earliest state process for choosing delegates to the major party national conventions, then the Arizona Secretary of State should pick a date for the Arizona primary.
Too funny. But this crazy business will continue until the voters demand that governments stop providing free assistance to the functioning of private political parties.
Exactly! No government funding for political primaries!
But New Hampshire says it must be a week before the earliest primary. So they’ll move theirs a week before Arizona, who will in turn move theirs a week back, and then New Hampshire will do the same, and so on until one of them realizes how idiotic it is.
How having the first Prez primary the day after a Prez general election day ???
Will keep the moron pundits busy forever.

How about a single 8 year term for president, that way we don’t have presidents running for re-election as soon as they win their first term?
