December 19, 2018 at 8:14 am EST By Taegan Goddard
The South Carolina Republican Party could cancel its marquee presidential nominating contest in 2020 in a move to protect President Trump from any primary challengers, the Washington Examiner reports.
Drew McKissick, chairman of the South Carolina GOP, said he doesnt anticipate Trump would face a primary challenge and emphasized that the state party executive committee hasnt held any formal discussions about the contest, dubbed first in the South and usually third on the presidential nominating calendar. But McKissick would pointedly not rule out canceling the primary, indicating that that would be his preference.

If they need to protect trump from a primary challenge, what does that say about his overall electability?
