7. That's true. NV doesn't have a large delegation at the convention either, though.

It's results, however, will reflect the general population better, for sure. However, I don't think caucuses are that good for really estimating the vote. The Minnesota caucuses in 2016 sure didn't. That's why MN switched to primaries.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Except for Bloomberg, they seem to be pouring money into it. DanTex Jan 2020 #3

Bloomberg would probably argue that they're wasting their money. MineralMan Jan 2020 #6

I agree in principle that a primary is a better system. eclecticdyslexic Jan 2020 #8
