Interesting thing I noticed about the recent "Massive" wins ... [View all]

I realize caucuses are what there are; but, it strains credulity to compare a massive (caucus) win in, say ... WA to the, equally, massive (primary) win in, say ... MS.

We have more Democrats in the decidedly republican township in which I live, than even participated in the recent caucuses.

{ETA: I posted this here because I don't feel like arguing.}
