I am proud of the caucus process we use here. |
|
People work together to try to pick the best candidate after vetting them all. We get together as friends and neighbors and talk about them and, as we do, we also decide who we can throw our support behind if our first choice is not agreed upon by the community. I love caucusing and I love my state.

made me wish that we had such a process - but if it were to be as late as our primaries (early May) there really wouldn't be much of a point, as the nomination will likely be long decided by that time.

The process is fair as done in Iowa but I wish all other states did it the same way at the same time to make it fair all over the country.

No one can ever convince me that one state in the middle of nowhere should have this much influence on our Presidential selection. Not to mention, that the main reason Iowa wants to keep that process is FINANCIAL. That state makes hundreds of millions
Garbage. Tradition is garbage.
