Caucus "something of a letdown"

After three days of campaigning, the reviews are starting to come in on the action leading to the actual caucusing in Nevada.

In at least one case the reaction is one of disappointment.  "After the drama of the first four states, the Nevada  caucus is shaping up as something of a let-down,"  Charles Mahtesian and Juana Summers write this morning in Politico.

"The closest thing to excitement was the confusion surrounding Donald Trump's endorsement — and even he didn't deliver fireworks," they write.

Having said that,  "a Nevada victory is nothing to sneeze at:  There are more delegates at stake than in South Carolina."

Politico's "five things to watch for" in the Nevada results are here.

The whole caucus idea is arbitrary. It does not allow the people of Nevada a fair chance to cast their vote. The democrats whine about how requesting an ID is disenfranchising…caucuses are the real disenfranchisement! What do you have to say about that Harry Reid?
