The difficulty of this particular election is partly due to the shear length of the primary process, a process which reflects a different time in America.
The nomination process was designed in a pre-instant communication world where caucuses and conventions were a necessary civic structure in a preindustrial age, for a gathering of the people to hear news and discuss candidates and options.
But, now with rapid transportation, 24-hour news and the internet and smart phones, reform of the primary process is sorely needed.
The process is too long for modern America. Caucuses have outlived their usefulness.
