The Democratic Party, in Caucus States, is no way beholden to the state legislatures
Whereas in Primary States - they are...
beholden to state legislatures that are rife with rethuglicans...

5. Democrats in Caucus States are NOT Beholden to |
|
state legislatures where rethuglican rovian tactics are rife.
In Caucus States, the Democratic Party is completely and totally independent of the "government apparatus", unlike in Primary States where the repukes get to intrude on our private business through actions of the "Legislature".
This is a huge plus in Caucus States. It tells us what real Democrats think about who should be Prez - not repukes and the "MSM."
Here's what the voters in the Rogue States of FL and MI, who wimped out to their "legislators," need to do to get back into good graces...
Fire those bums who got you into this mess.
Fire them at the ballot box.
But don't ever, ever blame the rest of us, in the 48 other states, who agreed to and stuck to the rules.
