ok, so how about the RNC change their rules ? how hard can that be ? The article explains it. If the RNC changes the rules for Michigan, they have to change them for everyone.
Maybe, they could just change them for Michigan and explain why, but that allows everyone else to special pleading too.

cripes...thanks...This is it, I reckon. I missed it or didn't recognize it.
Unless the RNC changes its rules, which could unleash the floodgates to primaries being held nearly a year before the general election,
I suppose I ought to go read their rules....
thanx again.

Which they should change completely. After every Pres election, every State is given a "Republican-ness" rating based on percentage of counties voting for the Repub President, as well as how Repub vs Dem their Reps, Senators, and Gov are. The five most Republican States hold their primaries in the first week of March. Then every week, the next five hold theirs. And so on.
I don't know why we have so many red States starting off the process. Ignoring potential fraud, NH hasn't voted for a Repub Pres sine 2000, their House and Senate is pretty solid Commie. Iowa's been back-and forth but has gone more blue lately. Nevada leans to the reds. SC is the only one of those four that is solidly Repub. But why not start with Idaho, Wyoming, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and North Dakota? Let actual Republican States pick the candidate, not a bunch of Red/reddish States.
