You could primary weak Republicans without their buddies running cover for them

You could also just not vote for them in a general election and vote for someone else?

I’m not seeing how a closed primary achieves anything that the current system doesn’t.

Strong Republicans won't win too many general elections in Louisiana.

We are not a pure red state.

We only are a "Republican" state because of so-called RINOs.

We lean right on some issues and are very populist / left on others. We are purple in many ways... it's just that many of the purple candidates run under the R banner.

But if you start having general elections between a Dem and a far-right Republican... you aren't going to like the results.
