Vetting candidates used to be the function of the political party. Since changing to the primary system, we perhaps havent always gotten the best. I think the parties should only allow truly qualified candidates to run in primaries to keep the Trump types out. Anyone can run as an independent candidate in the general election.

Agreed. I get the idea was to expand democracy with the primaries. But letting anyone run under the party umbrella without determining if they're fit for office is a bad idea.
