Dare I say… is it the keystone?
>WHY ARE SO MANY REPUBLICAN???
Logic. Politics.
You want the R's to gracefully retire and provide time for other R's to campaign and appear on primary ballots.
You don't want the D's to have time to position other replacement candidates.
Which makes me think they will not blow everything open until AFTER the state primaries and the ballot is locked.
Or, payments at the beginning of the month invoice processing.
