You know what Nevada confirms for me? Caucuses are stupid.

If the idiocy in rounds 1, 2 and 3 of this caucus doesn't cause the state to go to a primary next election season, then shame on them.

1. I hope supporters of all candidates can agree on this.

4. Yes, open primaries are what the Democratic party should move to.

However, this chicanery by the Dem party at the NV caucus is still problematic for this cycle. Saying "well, next time..." doesn't really mean anything. It is kicking the can down the road.

10. No open primaries

Democrats pick their nominee...you want to participate...join at the proper time. Look at operation chaos in WVA...and now Oregon.

[Demsrule86]

11. No Democrats vote in the Democratic primary

No GOP mischief like in WVA and soon Oregon.

2. no doubt

it's like a third world country or something...

[KittyWampus]

3. Stupid and undemocratic. You get to have your "vote" count if you can take off an entire day...

and don't have children or elderly parents to tend to.

5. Well, you cannot have it both ways.

If the parties declare that they are private organizations
and only want their members to vote in these preselections,
then they have to pay for it. That means caucus.

If you want primaries, which are paid for by the state's
taxes, then they have to be open to everyone.

I am for the latter, but again there is your choice.

6. The Nevada caucus is a new institution, 2008 was the first. Democratic Party wanted it.

7. Well aware. I'm sure they're regretting it right about now n/t

8. actually Harry Reid wanted it

and so did Hispanics who until then had no influence over the first contests.

9. In Minnesota, that's what we're doing.

Starting in 2020, presidential party primaries will replace caucuses. We've all had enough of a few partisan zealots controlling who gets our delegates.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. There should be no caucuses in the Democratic party. It's absurd, archaic and undemocratic

I'm in favor of getting rid of superdelegates too but that's a different subject altogether.

[MineralMan]

14. The funny thing is that the results would probably have favored Clinton this year.

In MN, I'm sure it would have.

12. You know what Nevada confirms for me?

How Sanders scared the party so much they dropped all pretense of being a fair and honest institution and exposed how corrupt they really are.
