So Much for Democracy

Republican committees in several states, including:
  • Arizona
  • Kansas
  • Nevada
  • South Carolina
have announced they intend to cancel caucuses and primaries in 2020.  Reports suggest this step, already taken by South Carolina, hopes to facilitate Donald Trump's path to renomination.

IMHO it also hopes to help him avoid the embarrassment of being challenged for the Republican nomination from both the left (e.g., former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld) and from the far right (former one-term Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh).
