Correct! Who are the caucus goers? Mostly party hacks. I was one of them, working as precinct captain in Washington state. I never missed a caucus.
In the general election in November, it will be just the opposite. The candidate needs huge turn out to win.
I live in Washington State and you are correct. We have the most awful system I have ever seen. I just read that the caucus was Feb 9th and there was no notice at all. Then whoever got appointed at the caucus will go to the State Convention and then they will determine the candidate. By the time the people actually get to vote it will be a mailed ballot and the front runner by then will have already been picked.
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! system. :-(
