Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Your and jorandlunds posts are in exact opposition to each other.
You say the Caucus doesn't matter and Primary does.
He says the Primary doesn't matter and the Caucus does.
Which is it.
Article really doesn't explain it, but has this quote:
Which implies the caucus decides the winner. Guess that leaves voters kind of fucked.
Straight from the article:
NV State Law now specifies that primaries are how it’s done, and that caucuses are no longer meaningful. How is that ambiguous?
And let’s also be clear about leaving voters “kinda fucked”: that’s on the GOP for intentionally engaging in a legally meaningless process for theatrics.
My quote was also from the article, which is the whole issue of confusion we're taking about...
The Republicans aren’t using the primary vote to award delegates though. They’re continuing to use the caucus for that. This is the fact on the ground, the vote will be what people talk about, and if Haley managed to win, it could help her stay in the news a bit longer.
However, Biden wasn’t on the NH ballot, but still won easily on write in votes. However, because of breaking the Dems rule about primary order, the NH Democratic primary didn’t award any delegates to any of the Democrat candidates.
The party can award the delegates however it wants, remember the about superdelegates that kept Bernie from having a snowball’s chance in hell in the 2016 primaries? This is similar bullshit, except that Haley has even less of a chance than Sanders did.
the article says the R delegates will be assigned based on the caucus only.
