Big Money’s Trojan Horse: Why Open Primaries Must Die

Alright, buckle up, Colorado, true grassroots conservatives, especially my fine friends in Douglas County, the beating heart of true grassroots conservative sanity in this state. We’ve had a crisis on our hands for some time now, and it’s called open primaries. Yeah, that’s right, the so-called “democratic” free-for-all that is really just a playground for big money to trample all over your voice. If you believe this system is about fairness, I’ve got a beachfront property to sell you in Greeley (no really, lol). Open primaries are the primary pipeline for corruption in our Republican Party, and it’s time we slam the door shut.

Let’s break it down. Closed primaries, where only registered party members select the nominees, serve as the last barricade against fat-cat donors and their allies. In Colorado, our open-primary disaster allows unaffiliated voters, many of whom couldn’t care less about our conservative values and principles, to breeze in and dilute the conservative essence of the GOP. Who benefits? The corporate overlords, dark-money puppeteers, and political consultants, that’s who. They don’t need to sway a unified base of principled Republicans; they merely flood the field with cash, prop up weak squishy RINOs, and let the unaffiliated masses shuffle in to do their bidding. It’s a rigged game, and we are the suckers at the table.

The Founding Fathers didn’t shed blood over the Constitution so that some big-money jerks could buy our elections. They established a system for “We the People,” not “We the Billionaires.” Closed primaries honor that intent, keeping power with the rank-and-file patriots who actually show up at caucuses and assemblies and then general elections to vote their conscience, not with some wishy-washy independent who flips a coin between a conservative warrior and a socialist nutjob. Any politician or Facebook keyboard warrior shilling for open primaries is a turncoat and is spitting on the Constitution. They’re not just misguided; they’re actively torching your individual voice for a quick buck or a pat on the head from the elite.

Colorado’s Republican Party needs to close this circus by all means in their power. Demand closed primaries and do not relent; keep it front and center. Starve the big-money beast. Because if we don’t, the true grassroots conservatives get trampled, and the only “representation” left is a receipt from some big donor’s checkbook. End this nonsense now. Our framers would approve, and so should you.

And remember this: any self-called “grassroots conservative” who is advocating to keep primaries open is NOT a true grassroots conservative; they are part of the Establishment or, worse, a RINO! They aim to destroy the Republican Party from within for their overlords.
