"It’s like asking New York to move the Statue of Liberty from New York to Florida. I mean, that’s not going to happen. And it’s not going to happen that we’re going to change state law."

Said  John Lynch, the former governor of New Hampshire, quoted in "Democrats Overhaul Party’s Primary Calendar, Upending a Political Tradition/The proposal radically reshapes the way the party picks its presidential nominees, putting more racially diverse states at the front of the line" (NYT).

The headline says the Democrats have already done the upending, overhauling, and radical reshaping, but isn't it merely an offer that the states may accept or decline? Is it an offer-they-can't-refuse type of offer? 

I'm seeing shaming of New Hampshire. One D.N.C. member scoffed at that idea that New Hampshire has a "divine right of privilege" to go first.  What matters is "what the party says it wants in its process." Yes, but they want the state to run a primary. Do they think they have a "divine right of privilege" to tell the states when to schedule votes?

The new first state would be South Carolina — a state that hasn't gone blue in a presidential election since 1976 — chosen because it's Joe Biden's preference. It was the state that saved his candidacy in 2020. Its legislature is solidly dominated by Republicans. 

So how do Democrats think they can force their schedule on America? The incentive, stated in the NYT article is a "risk" of "losing delegates in the nomination process, which could make delegate-hunting contenders question the time investment."

Why should the Republicans who run South Carolina care? The idea would be that they'd like to go first. They'll enjoy this invitation and love to welcome the lavish attention that comes with national priority. But the Republican National Committee has committed to the old order, and it has rules that "make clear that states that jump the order will lose delegates." 

Are states supposed to hold separate primaries, one for Democrats and one for Republicans? 

The Democrats also threaten to take delegates away from candidates "who campaign in a state that is flouting the party schedule." That's so antagonizing to New Hampshire, which can be a swing state in presidential elections. In 2016, it was 46.8% to 46.5%, so it's a good testing ground for candidates. And now they're going to punish candidates who want to use New Hampshire in the traditional manner?

And then there's Iowa, where caucuses are "deeply ingrained in the... political culture." Scott Brennan, a member of the Rules and Bylaws Committee from Iowa, complains: "You’ve turned the Mountain and Central time zones into flyover country for purposes of a presidential nominating calendar, and that’s just wrong."

The last paragraph of the article is infuriating. It reads like a cute send-off, but it's cute only for those who like Joe Biden and who think it's cool for those in power to manipulate the processes of holding onto power:

[T]he reshuffle may only be temporary: Mr. Biden has urged a review of the calendar every four years, and the party has embraced steps to get that process underway. Some Democrats have taken Mr. Biden’s hands-on interest in the calendar lineup as a sign that he plans to run for president again. Mr. Clyburn said that he recently “made it very clear to him that I’m very hopeful that he will run for re-election.” Asked about Mr. Biden’s response, [South Carolina Democrat Jim] Clyburn replied, “He smiled.”

Thus articles "It’s like asking New York to move the Statue of Liberty from New York to Florida. I mean, that’s not going to happen. And it’s not going to happen that we’re going to change state law."

that is all articles "It’s like asking New York to move the Statue of Liberty from New York to Florida. I mean, that’s not going to happen. And it’s not going to happen that we’re going to change state law." This time, hopefully can provide benefits to all of you. Okay, see you in another article posting.
