Please note that keeping Rocky on the lower chart makes us looked biased and unencyclopedic[edit]

if he's on the ballot in more than 20 states and the next one down is only on seven...it doesn't look good. Which is part of the reason there's been a neverending argument about it. Arglebargle79 (talk) 22:14, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We've been through this countless times. Rocky is not a major candidate. David O. Johnson (talk) 23:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neither are Walsh and Weld. Under the rules to get into the debates for the last time out, he would have made it on stage. The way you want it looks biased and unencyclopedic. Arglebargle79 (talk) 12:13, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Saying it doesn't make it true. Under the current criteria, the tables are fine as they are. David O. Johnson (talk) 15:04, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
...not to mention misleading. Arglebargle79 (talk) 13:27, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Arglebargle79, Rocky dropped out last December, so this whole discussion is moot.[1][2]. David O. Johnson (talk) 18:42, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Voter fraud.
Not as misleading as saying Trump has won multiple states that haven't even committed delegates. David O. Johnson (talk) 15:40, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
He's running unopposed in half a dozen states. How can you lose if you're running unopposed? Now saying that he could, then THAT's misleading! Arglebargle79 (talk) 18:55, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I will again remind you of the consensus that being unable to lose a contest is not the same as having won a contest. Additionally, I should remind you of the consensus that being a Representative or Governor is enough to be considered a major candidate. If you have an issue with any consensus, you may challenge it on the original page where it was determined, namely the 2020_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries. The reason there is a never ending argument is because you refuse to adhere to consensus. Attempting to change it here will do no good. WittyRecluse (talk) 11:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pity nobody bothered to tell Rocky he withdrew.[edit]

His twitter feed says that he's still running. He has gotten on the ballot in a couple of states after he allegedly withdrew. Had he withdrawn the day before Christmas, why would he still be getting on the ballot as late as yesterday?[1]

Yea, Rocky's still running, but he's not on the ballot anymore in Utah. The confusion stemmed from the poor wording in the article David O. Johnson cited above. It definitely wasn't "dirty tricks by the Trump campaign" like you alleged elsewhere. Just to clear up any farther confusion. - EditDude (talk) 19:21, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. David O. Johnson (talk) 19:28, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said, it was news to him. He is still on the ballot there.Harris is too.Arglebargle79 (talk) 19:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As stated above, according to the official Utah Government website, De La Fuente has withdrawn his name from the ballot. So, under the presumption I am reading the wbesite correctly, no, he is not still on the ballot there. WittyRecluse (talk) 11:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The reason that they listed him as "withdrawn" instead of just removing his name, was that he was still on the ballot. He didn't withdraw his name, someone decided to play a prank, and the Deseret News just assumed the dirty trick was legit. Arglebargle79 (talk) 12:55, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't seem like the Utah Government has a clear idea of what is going on. WittyRecluse (talk) 19:30, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unexpectedly, Rocky was listed in a fifth national poll, which according to consensus, means he's a major candidate. So until he announces he's running for the libertarians, that's that. Arglebargle79 (talk) 15:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consequences of impeachment[edit]

The Trial of the principal candidate for the Republican nomination begins today at noon. Realistically, the race is already fixed, with the first early voting starting tomorrow, the first caucus (North Dakota), next week and the Kansas state convention on the 31st. The realistic result of the trial is that the president will be acquitted but not exonerated. This will leave the page unchanged. However, consider the effect of an unlikely conviction: He will still be on the ballot in all states through mid-March. What will happen in the later states, I' haven't a clue. We will have to rewrite the primaries and convention pages, but not this one. Arglebargle79 (talk) 15:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge individual state primary articles[edit]

Not sure what the purpose of 2020 Utah Republican primary et al. is when everything is transcluded into this article. If there's nothing to say about the individual contests, there shouldn't be separate pages for them. We wisely do not have articles for each state in Category:2012 United States Democratic presidential primaries by state. Reywas92Talk 01:57, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE TO THE FASTEST SOURCE[edit]

This is the end...[edit]

The day after tomorrow is, for all intents and purposes, the last primary. I know that Connecticut's is a month later, but the selection of delegates from there has been moved to an alternative method. I suggest we start working on the finished version of the primary articles. Arglebargle79 (talk) 11:44, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such thing as "the finished version" of any Wikipedia article and there is no deadline. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 13:19, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proportional delegate allocation?[edit]

Florida is listed as allocating delegates proportionally however https://www.thegreenpapers.com/P20/FL-R linked from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Florida_Republican_presidential_primary indicates the states delagates we allocated in a winner-take-all fashion.

"The Republican presidential candidate receiving the highest number of statewide votes at the Florida Presidential Preference Primary shall be awarded all delegates (including the 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Florida's Republican Party) to the Republican National Convention."

The other states seem unlikely to all be proportional — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.114.202.109 (talk) 02:16, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
