In every election, the incumbent is given preferential treatment and generally treated as the de facto candidate. In which election are you thinking of that this was not the case?
Sure...
But when has the national party taken a state's delegates away?
Ideally for something outside of the states party control, because that's what just happened. And for a state that routinely votes against the national party's chosen candidate.
But I'll take any recent examples of a state losing their primary delegates because the national party yanked them away.
Welp, I guess I was right and this is totally unprecedented in modern American politics...
Still don't understand why so many people are ok with this tho
