...and it was astounding. I don't know the exact numbers, but some places (Colorado, maybe?) had something like 7x more voters in the primary this year than in their caucus in 2016 or something absolutely ridiculous like that.

Caucuses should be completely purged out of existence. That are incredibly undemocratic and only serve to suppress turnout.

type people. People I know who are socially open minded yet more conservative fiscally. Probably people who might have voted for trump and now regret? Probably people who are scared to death if Bernie?
