I recently read Frederick Douglas’s writings pertaining to consecutive terms. His argued that a 1st term President is forced to compromise their values to appeal to moderates & thereby fail to represent their base. I agree & think we’d be better off if primaries were not the exception but the rule.

Wouldn’t that argue in favor of ending primaries for second term presidents?
