We strongly considered it, because when primaries are done right (RUP HOC primaries of last term), they’re a blast. When they’re done wrong (RUP Presidential primaries of this term), they’re a trainwreck. In RUP’s case, a party-destroying trainwreck.
For us, this cycle didn’t make much sense since our party membership wasn’t much larger than our ticket. 🤷♂️
