The GOP caucus in Nevada was a giant clusterfuck.

At one voting site in Valley High School in Las Vegas, caucus-goers wandered around in confusion, asking each other if anyone worked there.
“They said someone will come. No one has come,” one woman said sadly.
“This is very overwhelming and very disorganized,” her neighbor agreed.
The Republican caucus system changed this year, so that voters could show up to sites, cast their ballots and go home. Previously, they were required to listen to speeches and elect delegates before casting their votes. This change only added to the confusion.
“What is the caucus and where is the caucus?” asked Ivan Kovacic, a Ted Cruz supporter who wandered into a near-empty theater in the high school holding his ballot. Kovacic was disappointed that he was expected to vote and just leave.

Latter Day Republicans are out to destroy civil government and replace it with corporate, theocratic for-profit institutions to wring every last penny out of the human beings they see as their lower-caste peons (pee-ons is what you get with Republican-style Trickle-down Economics).

So it's no surprise that Republicans "organize" their caucuses as a Grand Old Clusterwank.
