In reply to the discussion: Rachel Maddow: "Tad Devine, Sanders Campaign excuses for losing 'bull puckey.'" [View all]ConservativeDemocrat

That's obvious. Caucuses make it extremely difficult to vote. If you're poor, or elderly, or sick, or just basically don't see politics as some sort of "God sent a bird to tweet in front of our savior, hosannah" , but more a "Meh, let's go down and vote for the only one who isn't obviously unrealistic", then you're probably not going to a caucus.
It's the same reason why Republicans love to put impediments in front of voters as well. Their extremists are far more committed to their extremism, than Democratic moderates are.

Not me. She is uneven in her reporting and boring. She likes her paycheck too much.
