Imagine you were a candidate running for your party’s nomination for President of the United States. How would your strategy differ in open primary states versus closed primary states? If I was running for President and it was an open primary, I would say what they want to hear. When it comes down to it, you want to win and in order to do that you need to make all parties happy. Now, if it was a closed primary, I would direct all of my attention to that one party and fight until I had nothing left in me. In the mean-time I would try and see it from the eyes of the people in different parties and try to keep them happy but my main goal would be to keep my main party happy and round up as many votes as possible. How would it differ further in caucus states? In a caucus state, I would mainly focus on issues in that states and focus on smaller issues in all of the other states. In the end, you want as many people from those states and those surrounding states to be on your side. When it comes time, I would address the needs in other states and show everyone that you really mean business but you’re just handling it differently
