New Hampshire Primary Folly

It turns out that New Hampshire is an open primary, meaning anyone can vote.  So?  Well, since there is no primary to determine who will be the Democrat nominee, all those Democrat voters can flood the Republican primary and select Joe Biden's opponent.  This was why there used to be conventions.  The party would assemble and look at the various candidates and vote on who they thought was most likely to win.  Everyone was for the party.  In the case of New Hampshire, a large chunk of the voters will be committing sabotage.  Let Republican voters select the Republican candidate and Democrat voters select the Democrat candidate.  Primaries should not be open.
