We wouldn't have had him if HW Bush had just actually adhered to what he ran on and the groundwork established by his predecessor.

Ranked choice makes it easy not to have to hold people like HW's feet to the fire. It is nothing but a gift to the spineless wishy-washy types in Washington.

I disagree. It gives a legitimate third party candidate a chance. Right now, the spineless, wishy-washy types pull the lever for a D or an R because they are afraid to waste their vote and will vote for the lesser of two evils. They aren't wrong.

Ranked choice is good for MAGA, Tea Party, and Bernie Bro candidates.

But he didn't though. And no one can expect politicians to do so. The system should never rely on it.... and so the voters should have options.

The opposite is true. Ranked Choice would have made it easier to vote him out and replace him with someone more principled on the right without worrying about splitting the vote and giving the election to Clinton. Under RCV, incumbents would know they could be challenged, which holds them accountable. As it stands, the party establishment covers for them. What are you going to do, vote for the Democrat?
