I caucused as a Democrat in '08 for Obama. But now I am older and not a socialist any more LOL that is what they say.

Are you more interested in supporting a potential winner or the candidate you believe is best for the job?

I think steve dave and I are unicorn hunting Republicans and don't believe this but confronting this reality might be something that I do this election season.

Republicans do it by secret ballot, I have never caucused for republican party before and just perused the rules so not really sure.

Well, I think I should balance that. The candidate that is not able to do the job because they can't be elected probably would not be the best for the job I suppose.

I am likely between Rubio and Kasich due to process of elimination. Mostly going to hear what Trump/Cruz people say so I can be properly terrified about this election and be ready to pull the lever for Hillary if need be.

How big is your caucus?

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #11 on:** March 03, 2016, 10:10:29 AM »

I'm going to caucus for Kasich. It's probably a waste of time, but I can't stand Trump or Cruz, so it's not like there is a potential winner I can vote for.

Rubio? I don't know. Kasich is the best candidate for me too, but my goodness he can't win in any scenario. Rubio needs a great debate performance tonight for me to try to ride that ship in to harbor.

I think Kasich is more likely to win Ohio than Rubio is to win Florida. At that point, maybe Rubio drops out and Kasich stays in.

You guys really need to advocate for a brokered convention.

What made you switch parties?

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2016, 11:03:44 AM »

Really, every Kansan should register republican if you care at all about offices like US Senate and the state legislature.

I am a registered republican because there are actual primaries to vote in at state/local level that are much more important to me than national elections.

I just requested my republican primary mail ballot!

Call me a racist, but one reason I like Kasich is he is almost as WASPy as Obama, yet is also not a WASP!

Rubio is so pathetic but I think this is the option I am leaning toward.

obviously there's not good option. but he's the best of the viable (even though he's barely viable at this point) options left.
