No nomination at all. All the candidates would just be on the ballot!

Of course, that would make it so that only the allegedly "nondemocratic" parties would make it.
So are you saying that the Republican Party elite have a process in place in which they can trump the states' electoral college distribution to select a candidate that the people thought was inferior to the alternative?

The Democratic Party's process is VERY different than the Republicans, and there is no logical argument otherwise!!!
