WAPO: After Trump the GOP may need a better voting system--Kathleen Parker

As usual KP is after Trump, and this piece is about how to prevent another "Trump" from happening.
She converts Trump followers from thinking beings into herd animals following the candidate with "momentum".

Using ranking methods is not a bad idea per-se, but it would still have led to his wining since his supporters (including myself) would only put him in, while other peoples supporters would spread their numbers across 15, or they could only put a single candidate and we would have the system we had.

Finally, when it came "Mano a Mano," Trump beat Cruz handily, and even Cruz was not exactly loved by the establishment.

Much better to make the results secret, or not hold primaries at all, and let the elders, with their superior intelligence, choose our leaders for us, like the do in Iran.
