JPR Nutjobs interpret CA moving up their primary as an attack on Sanders chances in 2020

72. Whenever I see someone

Use words/phrases like "nutjobs," "paranoid," and "conspiracy [theorist]" I like to do a 10 second web search to see if the underlying "conspiracy theory" is held by people who can't be discounted with labels . . . you know, people whose integrity can't be impugned by anyone who has an ounce of integrity themselves.

In my 10 second search, I found this month-old story in Politico written by Gabriel Debenedetti from the Center for Public Integrity.

The earlier primary could benefit at least two potential presidential contenders from California — U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti — while jeopardizing the prospects of other candidates who will struggle to raise enough early money to compete in expensive media markets in the nation’s most populous state.

“In all probability, the winner of the California primary would be the nominee,” said Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chairman from South Carolina.

While acknowledging that “a lot of this rationale this far in advance just is completely wrong,” Fowler said: “The implications for the flow of the winnowing process [of candidates] is very significant in moving California.”

Is it premature to assign "Nominate Kamala Harris" as the motive for moving the California primary? Undoubtedly true.

Is it undeniable even now that Kamala Harris would, if she runs, be given a head start that will cripple the primary efforts of other would-be nominees before the race has ever begun? Also undoubtedly true.

Is this OP nothing but more Bernie-bashing?

I leave that for the rest of you to decide.
