Cruz is all they can get their meathooks into at this point. He was not their pick to be sure. But yes, a one day primary would make sense with delegates being chosen by the voters. I don't know how it got so bastardized. Probably because each state wanted to say how they would elect delegates but it's gotten out of hand with big corporations being so involved in government.It's sort of joke that Ted Cruz is the establishment candidate. The natl gop HATES the guy. LOL And I literally mean hate. So, imo all this discussion being aimed at one or another candidate, seems foolish to me.
And, we are never going to have "one primary day for all states to vote at one time." It might work if we had a system more like the Brits, when a new election can be forced whenever a nation realizes it's leader ain't up to the job. But, the US has the constitution, and the nomination process evolved to sort of vet out candidates.
I'd be ok with natl party rules requiring states to allocate bound delegates by % of the vote, either caucus or primary. But, they'd have to unbound after the first ballot, otherwise there'd never be a nominee.
