Thanks art talk radio has done a terrible job of explaining what a caucus is and how it works just unbelievably poor
We have a 5:00pm talk radio show here in Washington DC hosted by this snarky RINO. This evening he was talking about the Iowa caucus process. His shtick was how these "rubes" were actually making decisions that were affecting the rest of the country. He was there in Iowa in 2012, in, I think, Cedar Rapids (he mockingly called it "the Chicago of Iowa"). He sneered how the caucus official was tallying the results on the back of a McDonald's wrapper, and laughed out loud on the radio at how stupid the Iowan bumpkins were.
I had to turn the radio off, I was so incensed. I thought "This is Americana, you twerp! If they had to write it on the back of a McDonald's wrapper, so what?! FU!"
