7. I hate caucuses.

I also hate same day party change. jftr - You only need to change parties for the duration of the meeting. How can this be fair? IT CAN'T.

At my caucus in 2016 there were almost as many people changing to Dem as there were registered Democrats.

Party changers were about 90% male. Most were 30-40 pounds overweight and stuffed into a t-shirt three sizes to small. The cargo pants and compression socks almost rounded off their attire except that about half of them had guns strapped around their over-sized waists. They thought this party change thing was funny and several had voted earlier at the Republican caucus.

This year they won't need to vote in two places in one day given that the Republicans won't be having a caucus because Trump will be unopposed.

Note: People (mostly women) with children left before the vote as they were afraid of all the guns and the children were being bullied by guess who.



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