American democracy under assault. Remember all the bellyaching over Democrats and super delegates, well, no worry over that with GOP, they simply are closing the ballot boxes, telling voters to F off, the Lord in Washington does not want a challenger. Putin would be proud.

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.

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.

And Krugman was right.

 

And he'll be wrong in about a week, when he contradicts himself.
