Reply #8: you know, of course, that the REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED state government passed this early-primary shit

Funny that the RNC isn't penalizing the Repugs.
Funny how Dems eat their own.

Florida party officials said they originally opposed the early primary date, which covers both the Democratic and Republican primaries. The Republican-controlled Legislature passed the change and the GOP governor signed it into law in an effort to give the state a more prominent voice in national politics.
