The cancellations stem in part from months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/07/trump-reelection-campaign-2020-republican-convention-1083176) by the Trump campaign. Aides have worked to ensure total control of the party machinery, installing staunch loyalists at state parties while eliminating potential detractors. The aim, Trump officials have long said, is to smooth the path to the president’s renomination and ensure he doesn’t face the kind of internal opposition that hampered former President George H.W. Bush in his failed 1992 reelection campaign

States have canceled party primaries in the past. Arizona did not hold a Democratic primary in 2012 when President Barack Obama was seeking reelection or in 1996 when President Bill Clinton was running again. Kansas also did not hold a Democratic primary in 1996, and state officials said they have often skipped primaries during an incumbent's reelection bid.

"As a general rule, when either party has an incumbent president in the White House, there's no rationale to hold a primary," South Carolina GOP Chairman Drew McKissick said.

& I don't blame him. There is nothing to gain, just levels of loss. You want fair & square now. Now that your coup attempt has failed.

Uh, uh. No. It's ever man for himself, like in a Texas Death Match in rasslin'. No holds barred. You can run that fucker's eyes across the top rope, blind that fucker. You can put him in that figure 4 leg lock & refuse to let it be dislodged, break that fuckin' leg.

You can Hans Mortier him, put him into a full nelson & adamantly forbid Wild Red Barry to pry it loose with his cane!

NO HOLDS BARRED, bouts. You understand the concept, you commie, you?

It's wet work time, been that time since day one when you tried to take our Presidency from him. He's going to punish your ass now, gonna take you into the woodshed & nail that fucker shut. The barn door transom as well...nailed tight. Gonna whoop those asses.

I'm goin' over to Twitter right now & tell 45 that.

CHARGE, 45, CHARGE!!!!!!!!!
