Well then maybe the GOP can get rid of caucus’. I guess saving money is better than being accurate.
Well, there’s a value in the caucus process as opposed to the primary process - but that value is perverted when people treat caucus results the same as primary results - and they do, including the wizards in the media like Faux News.
Probably 50 years ago, the nation was not full of a bunch of mathematical illiterates the way it is now. Also, those not really interested with the process didn’t have easy access like we do now - with the internet and cable, etc.
In those days, no one who cared enough to follow would confuse a caucus with vote totals in the thousands with a primary with vote totals in hundreds of thousands. But in our News McNugget world, where a “state is a state” - that confusion runs rampant.
It ends up screwing up both the value of a caucus and the value of a high turnout primary by treating them the same, which they are not. One thing that irritates me about RS is that he knows better, but he has pushed that “state is a state” mentality for his own purposes.
Smart strategy I guess, but I remain offended at the intellectual dishonesty of it and really amazed that so many have fallen for it.
