I'm really surprised how many takes I've been seeing against staggered primaries lately, *especially* this year. It's extremely expensive to run a national campaign, and most of the candidates simply wouldn't be able to compete in a national primary day
The counter argument here is of course that candidates should be nominated with a direct national popular vote. But while the electoral college exists, it is in the party's best interest to nominate in a fashion that reflects how the general election is done. Turtles all the way.

I just don't want to live in a world where Bloomberg is the nominee, which IMO would be substantially more likely if we switched to a national primary day with no other changes
