Thank you for creating and uploading this video. As a person from a state where caucuses aren't used, I have always wondered what it was like inside. Looks like madness with too many opportunities for dirty dealings. Not that it's better anywhere else.

Well that's not fair. Of course they are going to be more people voting for "no"

The overzealous secretary is the type of person that makes people hate democracy - someone who takes an ounce of power and lets it go to their heads. I feel bad for that Biden supporter. He's right, you can't come in, but you can go out? I'm glad that was caught on tape.

As a Canadian, this was a very interesting video. Our political systems are very different and because of this I am not very familiar with how the democratic process works in America. This has shed some light on the grassroots of democracy. It may seem very confusing but I think it's what the foundation of democracy is all about - people getting together in a big room and making their opinion, judgement and vote count.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. NO!!! Biden can't have 10 minutes to make himself Viable.Primary Day...Nationwide.This is a betrayal of our trust to Iowa to get the priveledge to go first in the election process. This looks like a corn husking.

Viable? IOWA is barely viable!!!Time to start over.

I agree. THIS actually is news, unlike the tripe MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News spent their time covering: basically, just telling us crap we know and don't want to know about the candidates, and re-iterating the numbers again and again as they came in. This video actually helped me understand the caucus reality better -- again, thanks. |
