17.  At least the "voters are sheeple" meme will die an overdue death now. It is inspiring
to read how the wisdom of the average primary voter is superior to that of the political activists who exert more influence in caucuses.

For many years I have been reading too many posts at DU about how voters are sheeple, easily led and fooled by politicians and PR strategists, while many much wiser activists can cut right through the same lies and distortions.

Whether one prefers caucuses, closed primaries, open primaries, some combination or that candidates just deal with system the way it was set up before the nomination process began, at least the wisdom of the common voter seems to be ascendant here now. That is a good thing.
