...and if we followed the actual process (to the best we know of the order of states)
Based on the RNC's new rule changes and current state laws, here's my rough prediction for the early part of the primary calendar:
Mon, Jan. 18th: IA caucus
Tue, Jan. 26th: NH primary
Sat, Feb. 6th: NV caucus
Sat, Feb. 13th: SC primary
Tue, Feb. 23rd: AZ, MI, and (probably) FL primaries
Tue, Mar. 1st: Super Tuesday....likely Super Tuesday states this time: caucuses: AK, CO, ID, MN, ND; primaries: GA, MA, MO, OK, TN, TX, VT, VA
After Super Tuesday: won't bother predicting.....it'll probably be settled by then anyway.
