Idaho Democrats Announce Shift from "Unwieldy" Caucuses to State-Funded Presidential Primary for 2020

There will be a significant decrease in the number of caucuses in the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination process. If you're keeping track at home, there were 14 Democratic caucus *states* in 2016. 9 of those 14 have made efforts toward primaries for 2020 already.

Harry's right that Biden is in range of 400 EVs -- right now -- but also that there is a long way to go in this race.

@ForecasterEnten

Biden right now is ahead or down by a point in states containing over 400 electoral votes. He's also up 10 pts in national polls. If that was the result (& the piece points out why it may not be), it would be the largest win for a Dem since LBJ in 64.

Those last two (HI & WY) may not realistically get there for 2020, but even if they don't and the other seven do, that represents a 50% reduction in the number of caucus state from 2016 to 2020. That number always shifts cycle over cycle, but that is a *big* shift.

Several folks have asked/commented about open/closed on these new primaries. Only ME's is closed. The remainder either give state parties the option on unaffiliated (UA) participation (ID, UT) or allow UAs to choose (CO, NE, MN). They aren't all closed.

So, I've been thinking about the possibility of Republicans voting in the South Carolina Democratic primary for months, at least since the time that South Carolina Republicans opted to forgo their own 2020 presidential primary. 1/

Ugh. @chucktodd calls COGOP delegates unbound. #false | 30 are bound to Cruz. 4 unbound, but support Cruz. 3 party delegates are unbound.

Switching to primaries matters. And before I say "so does it not being 2016 anymore," it is worth pointing out that Clinton won the beauty contest Washington primary in 2016.
