    Oh look a concern troll that’s sooooooo concerned about NH and state party rules. This person 100% actually cares and isn’t just trying to suppress the left vote.

      I’m concerned that the only other option in American politics besides trump just wiped out an entire states primary for something the state party can’t control…

      If you’re not upset about what that means, I don’t know what else to say that wasn’t in my first comment.

        I know you’re probably too young to know this, but you just described the American electoral process. This is how the incumbent advantage works. The overwhelming majority of the time, a party will not primary the incumbent candidate because it would be incredibly stupid.

        Stop talking about it as if it’s in any way notable.

          I’ll ignore the insults because I genuinely want to know and no one I ask ever responds again.

          When was the last time a national party removed all primary delegates from a state for something the state party had zero control over?

          For bonus points:

          Was that a state where the party favorite came in last and the most progressive candidate won the last two primaries?
