PA Primaries and delegates - a strange set of rules on the GOP side

Pennsylvania’s primary contest is unlike others.It’s not winner-take-all. It’s not winner-take-most. It’s not even proportional.The vast majority of Pennsylvania’s Republican delegates are technically “unbound” or “uncommitted.”

What a screwed up mess the whole primary process has become.  How about this ............. divide the county into 4 chunks with roughly 12+/- states in each chunk.  Use the same rules for each chunk and allow tribal members and independent voters participate.  Choose a month, let's say, April, for the sake of argument, and run the whole damn thing over four consecutive weekends.  Boom!  Done!

Oh, wait, sorry.  That would make too much sense.  We would miss out on the 8 to 10 months of the drama and entertainment we will be tortured with since January and the corporate media would be pissed.

Not only that, but all the PAC's, Super PAC's, and other big money Citizen United groups would have to spend their money on something worthwhile that would actually benefit the citizens, instead of propping up and buying the election for some political puppet that will do their bidding in reciprocation of having their election paid for by these benefactors.

After I read about how the GOP delegates work in PA it makes me wonder why we even cast a vote !
