G.O.P. Plans to Drop Presidential Primaries in 4 States to Impede Trump Challengers
Republicans in at least 4 states are dropping Presidential primaries leading up to next year's election so no one can even challenge Trump.
This is pretty fascinating.
What this means is that they are doubling down on Trump. They're solidly backing The Orange One.
This has a distinctly high possibility of making the Democratic Party's chances even stronger. They're backing him to the hilt. Meanwhile, his approval ratings, nationally, with all Americans, are at least weak, now, and that's with, so far, a reasonably strong economy.

With all this and the knowledge, the very sure knowledge, that Donald J. Trump is not a man of nuance or thought or careful consideration, if things should get tougher for him in the coming election and campaign, we will most surely be witness to still more and further emotional, rambling, attacking, incoherent episodes, as we've already witnessed.
Finally, not to be done there, there are these lovelies taking place. First, Trump attacks his own people, his own political party, his only support, last July, because, well, he's Donald Trump.

Then, far more recently, at least some Republicans, anyway, show some sense.

Ever since the 2016 Presidential election campaign, nothing has been predictable, that's for sure. It seems, however, now, we do have things going our way, the way of and more for the people.
All that said.... we must TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED. We must vote! And help get out the vote!
GO BLUE!
