The Hill: “Traditionally, candidates have hunkered down in Des Moines and Manchester, hoping that a victory in the Iowa caucuses or New Hampshire primary would jumpstart their campaigns.”

“But in 2020, voters in California and Texas along with seven other states will head to the polls on March 3 — exactly one month after the Iowa caucuses and just a few days after the South Carolina primary.”

“The shift could lead some candidates, particularly those focused on winning over African-American or Hispanic voters, to put their focus on California instead of the smaller, whiter and more conservative states.”

1. A change for the better..early primaries in more diverse states whose demographics mirror our party.

2. Those March Primaries Will Thin the Herd Effectively

A good idea.

3. and while Super Tuesday pretty much tells the story, this should cinch the deal, and I would hope

if it is obvious who will be the Democratic nominee at the end of the NY Primary, that those candidates who cannot mathematically make it drop out, so we can unify as a party much more quickly
