Opinion Today: What Trump’s primary victories mean

If the ex-president purges dissent from his party, it will lose its ability to fulfill its democratic function.

For one thing, the results reveal the relative strength of the front-runners and their challengers. For the Democrats, Joe Biden is running as an incumbent president, without serious opposition in his party. Donald Trump, as an ex-president, holds a similar advantage over Nikki Haley, who, after Trump’s victories in Texas, California and 12 other states on Tuesday, is [expected to drop out of the race](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnyu4-P4Q-AWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyNC8wMy8wNS91cy9zdXBlci10dWVzZGF5LWVsZWN0aW9uLXVwZGF0ZXMvYS1iaWctZGF5LW9mLXZvdGluZy1pbi1tYXJjaC13aWxsLXBvaW50LXRoZS13YXktdG8tbm92ZW1iZXItaGVyZXMtdGhlLWxhdGVzdD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDI0MDMwNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTY4ODcmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYwMDAzJnNtaWQ9dXJsLXNoYXJlJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpl4z5p6GUeQSSTUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).

Mr. Trump no longer does, having used the primary contest as a tool for purging the party of dissent.” This matters to everyone, as the editorial argues. A Republican Party without competing views can’t fulfill its function in a healthy democracy — it can’t govern, it can’t hold its leader accountable, and it can’t even deliver what its own supporters want. Whatever your political affiliation, I urge you to consider what this means for our country. “Tuning out is a luxury that no American, regardless of party, can afford,” the editorial notes. “Mr. Trump in 2024 would be the nominee of a very different Republican Party — one that has lost whatever power it once had to hold him in check.” [Read the editorial](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnyu4-P0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8wNi9vcGluaW9uL3RydW1wLXJlcHVibGljYW4tcGFydHkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDI0MDMwNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTY4ODcmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYwMDAzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpl4z5p6GUeQSSTUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~): [[A black-and-white photo of Donald Trump, seen from behind.
