Republicans in South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and Kansas are poised to "scrap" their primaries and caucuses; i.e., there will be no way for any Republican to challenge Trump. The attitude seems to be "Why should we allow challengers to possibly embarrass Dear Leader when everyone knows he will win?"
Is it REALLY so unimaginable that these fascist bastards could create an "unprecedented emergency" which would "require" that the 2020 election be "postponed indefinitely"?
Remember, "That'll never happen!" was heard about Trump living in our White House, nude photos of the "first lady" blanketing the internet, reputable news sources documenting over 1300 lies by a "POTUS" and Congress failing to impeach an unindicted co-conspirator and admitted sex offender.
