Thanks for proving Nebraska failed in its duty to announce the Primary.
Okay - I was looking around and there is surprisingly little information on the County caucuses that select delegates to go to state. There was a newspaper article that talked about it - but no dates. It was more focused on the Nebraska Primary Election on May 10 which is the one that really counts. And that information is all over the place.
The delegates elected at the county and state level are “soft”. I believe most of them will be bound to the winner of the Primary vote on the first ballot.
So, in most years it really doesn’t matter who the delegates prefer as most years we have a clear winner at the national convention. That is probably why they don’t make a big deal out of the local caucuses.
That’s the way it is in Washington state where I live. Caucus delegates say who they prefer, but are not bound to them. And, in most years it doesn’t matter as the delegates that go to the national are bound to the winner of Washington State’s primary.
BUT. This year isn’t most years. And it sounds like Cruz recognized that a long time ago. And from recent hirings by Mr. Trump, it sounds like he has figured this out too.
Although I did see on the Nebraska Facebook page a Trump supporter was trying to get out the message before the Caucus:
Randy Webber ATTENTION TRUMPIANS ! Tomorrow ( Saturday ).....Please get up off your comfy couches or recliners, and get out to Vote or Caucus for Mr. Donald Trump ! He needs your Help. He is fighting the entire GOP Establishment, plus a TEXAS Size LIAR and little marco ! We are all sick and tired of Washington. This is our chance to do something about it ! Help Trump “Make America Great Again”. Thanks !
