The Iowa Caucus is trash & it's time to say "Buh Bye-owa"

[Bo-4]

I saw on Morning Joe that they won't actually know until JUNE who won. That's just beyond stupid - put it out to the curb, it's stinkin' up our entire country!

It was right around the time that news broke that certain Iowa precincts were determining which candidates were going to win delegates by virtue of a coin toss (http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2016/02/02/sometimes-iowa-democrats-award-caucus-delegates-coin-flip/79680342/) that I'd finally had enough, and decided it was time to throw the system by which Iowans determine presidential nominees into a dumpster, set it aflame, and push it out into East Okoboji Lake to disappear from our lives forever. The Iowa caucus: Let's do it, let's erase it from existence.

Bo-4 I am with you, a coin toss? Imagine if hillary gets the nomination because of this, a coin toss. Chance! Is this all the DNC (RNC is really no better) thinks of its constituents and candidates? All they want to to keep the money flowing in and the machine going, damn the will of people.

Caucuses, conventions, primary elections...what a huge waste of time and money, much of it - especially when you're talking about the primaries - taxpayer money. The partisan primary elections slated for my state are going to cost the taxpayers of Arizona almost ten million dollars...and for what? So the two major parties can decide who the people want them to run for President. And as long as 98% of elected officials belong to one of those two parties, they're going to keep sucking money out of the public coffers to fund their partisan activities. Do the smaller political parties get to demand that the taxpayers shell out millions to help them decide? Let the D's and the R's send out a damned questionnaire to all of their registered members, at Party expense - or do it any other way than the way it's done now. What little I've been able to stomach coming out of Iowa just makes me sick. It's like the worst reality show ever made: Who Can Be the Biggest W***e?
