Caucuses are primaries, essentially. Just because you may not like the results does not mean they are somehow less legitimate. They are more fair in that they do not allow for Democrats to easily manipulate the outcome.
those are your opinions and I disagree with both of them.. the word primary was never used to describe the Kansas or Maine voting yesterday.. and for a reason,, the vast number of eligible Republican voters did not vote and if you think that makes for a more fair election then you and I are on a way different glide path

Caucuses are more like primaries w/up to 6 hours of mandatory arm twisting (KY). I have to wonder what such a process does to the concept of the secret ballot ...doesn’t for Democrats to easily manipulate the outcome.”
seem like a good idea to me.
As to closed primaries and/or primaries; they do keep out Independents and Cross-over (or mischievous) Dems; but, that may also result in a “sword of Damocles” dilemma. I doubt that any GOP/Conservative candidate can prevail today against the Dem Machine w/o attracting those Independents and “Blue-collar” cross-over votes. Trump is the only one in this race who can attract them in my opinion.
That said, I will still vote for Ted if he wins the nomination.
I meant close to everyone EXCEPT registered republicans. It is their candidate. They alone should choose.
