Don’t trust the DNC – they put their thumb on the scale last time and who knows what shenanigans they may try in 2020.
There’s a collective sigh of relief across Iowa. DNC seems to think ‘caucus’ is another word for primary election. Sorry, it’s not. The Virtual Caucus was a put-up idea from DNC and Big Media, supposedly concerned about second shift workers ability to participate. Guess what? If church is at 10 AM and you’re working, I guess you cant go. I’d like too see caucuses at 9 AM on a Saturday morning (please), to increase turnout, but that’s too easy for IA Dems. The other problem is that people touching a button on a screen is an awful lot like ‘voting’, and NH has some issues with that. So, change the time, and declare victory.
