....we've heard about from the Sanders campaign, regardless of the results this is a hugely disappointing caucus for Sanders, the lowest turnout since 2000 in a contested caucus.

2004 - 45%
2008 - 57%
2012 - uncontested
2016 - 44%
2020 - 35%

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