Primaries are usually worthless and end up being nothing more than popularity contests to see which way should the party go if they win the election.
Most people in America are too stupid or ignorant to actually check out a candidates past voting record or personal character to actually make a cognizant decision. All too often they blindly go with the name they've heard the most OR they wait until the actual election and vote straight party because of habit.
