I'll never understand the way you choose your party candidates in the US.
Basically any one can run for whatever party he or she wants to, and if they win the primaries, theyll represent that party..
That just does not make any sense.
In DK, and most other countries, the leader of the party is the candidate for president/prime minister. They have usually worked their way up through party ranks to get to that position.
The current primeminster of DK, begun his political career in the youth branch of his party in '86. 12 years later he held his first political office as mayor, then minister of health, then minister of finance. He was active in the party for 23 years before becomming leader of the party.
That just makes sense imo.
Trump doesnt really represent the republican party, neither does Cruz. Why not an actual tea party, instead of shanghaiing the republican party?
