decided by a smaller, more motivated and informed group of voters than you do in primaries, where people are more easily swayed by soundbites, and misleading campaign ads, and the low information voter reigns supreme. Any thoughts.

More informed and less swayed by soundbites and ads?

Says who, you? You gonna be the judge on who is the most informed and less swayed?

>>”Says who, you? You gonna be the judge on who is the most informed and less swayed?”

THE judge? Who said anything about me being THE judge. I offered my opinion on the matter. People are entitled to disagree, and no I’m not proposing we switch to caucuses just because I say we should. I’m proposing that it’s worth discussing and that if a consensus develops that it will lead to improvements in the nominating process, it’s something that should be pursued.

As far as caucus goers being more motivated and better informed, that’s my opinion, nothing more and nothing less, but it’s a reasonable one based on certain factors. The time and effort commitment for caucus participation is greater than for primary voters. That correlates to a more motivated and more informed voter. If you have a differing opinion, make your case but don’t try to shut down a discussion with an inane response like “Who are you to decide?”
