The winner of the Iowa caucus: Trump

You can't honestly believe that the state republican party officials act in a vacuum.
If a candidate runs unopposed, holding the primary is ludicrous and it should be cancelled.
If a candidate has "legitimate" opposition, not allowing them in the primary is cowardly and unfair to the public.
Obviously, it all boils down to what is considered "legitimate".
Ex governors instantly have legitimate credibility. Ex congressmen do as well, but possibly to a lesser degree (depending).
The three attempting to run against Trump were immediately cut off at the knees. As Trump wished and with full complicity from the republican party.
You're asserting Trump (and/or his people) is behind the state party leader's decision. Again, it is odd Trump's name is in those headlines you posted and in the article as an object of blame. Yet none of the articles allude to his campaign influencing the states' leaders. Seems to me if there was proof or a reasonable assumption to be made the authors of those articles would have made it. Perhaps it happened with the campaigns of Clinton and Obama and now you're assuming it happened with Trump?

Well I guess they operate under the "some things are self evident" theory.
If the same thing happened during the Clinton or Obama campaigns, it didn't show up in my "Trump opposition in 2020 republican primary" google search.
What I took away from the articles, once I actually read them, was that there were legitimate candidates wishing to challenge Trump that were thwarted by the republican party. That aligned nicely with my memories of earlier reports stating that Trump would run unopposed even though there were legitimate candidates wishing to oppose him. I remember those reports better than I remember most things because I had clung to the hope that the saner side of the republican party (yes I made the assumption that there actually was one) would attempt to pull the party back out of Trump's arse. Optimistically naive.

I find it odd that you are hoping for the “ saner Republicans show up “ while the left keeps going further and further left . It’s almost like you had a plan in mind . Lol

Both sides are involved in some shady practices right now. Regardless if Trump is pushing it or not, the idea that opponents aren't even acknowledged in certain states is a fkn indictment against R's. Point fingers all you want, red hats. You're two sides of the same corrupt coin.

Thats funny "saner Republicans." my goodness the marxist has kicked out all sane dems. They've been kicked out for for years. Poor ol luther he needs to look at his party 1st when he talks about sane.

Of course luther's definition of sane is probably right inline with the Sanders, Antifas and the black panther parties of the world. He declare trymp is insane yet look at the marxist base. Comedy luther.

I think it is an indictment of both parties since both have a history of squashing challengers to an incumbent POTUS campaign.
Not sure it matters much anyway. There is no knight in shining armor riding in to save the republic.

Last week Trump supporters all are dumb clueless rednecks according to CNN, today the socialists can’t run a 170,00 voter caucus. How the tables have turned

Can source that last sentence? All I see is your conjecture which started with "You can't honestly believe..."

One major problem with this "self-evidence" as a source is the "self" proposing it.

Perhaps Democrats need to ask for ID from caucus members before allowing them to vote?
