California and New York will never be able to agree n who should go first.
This time they mean it. Really.
So typical of the Left: Don’t like something, change the rules or the law. Don’t like plastic straws, pass a law that makes their use illegal. For religious reasons, if a baker doesn’t want to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, a conservative finds another baker who will. The liberal passes a law that forces all bakers to abandon their beliefs and bake the cake. Don’t think 32oz sodas are good for you, a conservative doesn’t buy them. The liberal passes a law that prevents anyone from selling a 32oz soda. (Two 16oza sodas are okay, however.)
No matter how you look at it, Liberals want to decrease your freedoms by limiting your choices.
Wake up, People!
“...civil rights is core to who we are as Democrats,” he said.”
LOL!
Since when?
Prove it...
There is no reason not to hold them all in one day.
I think that what the DNC is proposing is to do away with that pesky voting thingy and for demoncraps to just shut up and vote for whomever the party elite anoint as the candidate.
They’ll need that backbone too for picking that Demonrat plantation cotton.
Simple plan: (1) run the New York, Illinois, and California primaries on the same day; (2) get legislation passed in the others to give their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote; (3) forget about holding national elections in the other states. Why not be honest about it?
Technically, I agree that Iowa and New Hampshire are not diverse. In the old politics where all the candidates were white men, this wasn’t important but now the first states ought to be more representative.
You want a smaller state so that they are petri dishes where the worst candidates are eliminated early with few delegates so don’t throw in California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, etc.
A few, like Hawaii, may be diverse but the logistics would make campaigning even more expensive than it already is.
Based on population totals,

I would look at Delaware, Mississippi, New Mexico and Nevada as a better lead-in to a Super Tuesday. In fact, the Republicans might be smart to switch ahead of the Democrats as a way of expanding more minorities into the party.
Let me guess:
NY, CA, IL, MA and skip the rest.
I agree, and I believe that the prospect of that drives much of the Bernie Sanders movement rather than an embrace of Bernie’s policies.
I hope that the level of control which the would be oligarchs have achieved over the office holders has sown the seeds of revolt amongst their voters.
I’ve seen a string of yapping heads on CNN proclaiming that NH and IA are “too white” to be the leaders in the primary season. Now that the next race is SC will there be any who proclaim SC “too black”?
