Political parties should be free to decide how they select the candidates they choose to run for political office. However, local and state laws often make it virtually impossible for viable third parties. (Republicans and Democrats seem to work well together on this issue.) The current primary season makes it impossible for any candidate without major amounts of money or major party support to gain the traction needed to run a national campaign for President. Republican and Democratic party officials and insiders have the system just the way they like it.
