Another Strange Disparity

CBS News is making a big deal about an article written under the names of William Weld, Joe Walsh and Mark Sanford in the Washington Post today.  These three are candidates for the GOP nomination in 2020 and are running against President Trump.  It's not a real contest.  Trump had 88% support with 7% undecided in the last poll.  That means the three listed above shared 5% in the poll.  In any event, the three write to lament the decision of four states to drop their GOP primaries in 2020.  They made the decision to save the cost of running a primary.  The delegates to the GOP national convention for 2020 will be chosen by a state convention.  This sort of thing happens pretty much every time a sitting president runs for re-election.  For example, it happened when Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama each ran for the second term.  CBS, however,  blows the story up into some sort of plot to thwart the opposition to Trump.

Maybe CBS can explain why it feels so strongly about supporting a 1% Republican candidate but has no problem with debates that block 1% Democrat candidates.
