As more and more people don't identify with either party, there are going to be problems in the future.
How? The parties will still have nominees. It might simply be a case of fewer people selecting them. Having a closed primary keeps one party (who they know will have a **** nominee because nobody wants to challenge them) from flooding the primary of the other party and nominating some buffoon that has no chance of winning then general election.
BTW...there is nothing that states a party has to have a primary.
