Caucuses need to end, as I've been saying for years. This year, Iowa was just an absolute fiasco, and the fact that it was a close race made it even more chaotic.

The agreement was that there would be 3 results reported (first vote, final vote and SDE total), which further complicated matters. The app, the reliance on reporting results over the phone and every other aspect was a disaster.

Hopefully this will be the last year with caucuses.

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