The DNC does not function as a popular vote, but with a complex system of campaigning, finance, and ultimately delegate voting. That part confuses me, since my tax dollars paid for my states primary election. Why are we subsidizing

That works great for small utility trailers, but not many tall cargo trailers or RV trailers can work that way. Some might be under the weight limits, barely, but when you factor in the wind resistance, and the shorter wheelbase of a sport
