A nomination process that chooses McCain doesn’t deserve to survive

Given the disastrous failure of the Republican primary elections to pick a worthy and winning nominee, I repeat that the Republican party should either dismantle the popular primary system and return to the traditional system in which office holders and other party activists would select the party’s nominee (a process by which an erratic and justly disliked maverick like McCain would never have been chosen), or else radically reform the popular primary process, as discussed at VFR last January.
