B-Man Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I was hoping that no one would respond to such obvious ignorance by Gator, but as long as it was started I might as well end it. In 1996 when Bill Clinton was the incumbent, eight states chose not to hold Democratic presidential primaries, caucuses, etc. In 2012 when Obama was seeking his second term, ten states chose to bypass their Democrat presidential nominee selection process. USA Today reports: It is not an unusual move for state parties to forego primary contests when a strong incumbent is running for re-election as president. For example, the South Carolina and Arizona Republican parties did not hold primaries in 1984 and 2004 when Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, respectively, were seeking re-election, according to the Associated Press. In 2012, Democrats canceled 10 presidential preference contests, according to the New York Times. “These are decisions made entirely by state parties and there are volumes of historical precedents to support them. Nevertheless, President Trump will dominate and prevail in whatever contest is placed before him,” Trump campaign communication director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement provided to USA TODAY of the possibility that the intra-GOP contests in the four states could be canceled. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It's not an election. It's an activity of a private club and they can do whatever they want. Or so Paul Krugman said in 2016 when the D's were in the midst of Throwing the primaries for Hillary's benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'll be wrong in about a week, when he contradicts himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
