Wait…FL and AZ have pushed their primaries earlier that what the RNC has said they could, taking hits on how many delegates they can send to the convention. Yet, CNN is doing debates with the remaining candidates in those states right before those illicit early primaries, with what I assume to be some official nod-and-wink from the RNC (one of the two FL debates has the state GOP sponsoring it, for sure).
