4. A lot of them have been doing that for years

I.e., running ads, sending out mailers and texts, and selling/giving out lawn signs for candidates without identifying the candidate's party. But then that means that would make "primaries" irrelevant because they are basically a "party" function - particularly in states with "closed primaries".

And then going further, this would push the system towards a "Parliament-style" one with smaller "parties" that would need to "form a coalition government" and the one that has the most votes, picks the Prime Minister.

It's a slippery slope with our form of government.
