12. Iowa's caucuses tell us NOTHING other than

seeing what a bunch candidates for clown college all those Republicans are.

Whoever "wins" is only popular with 1/3 of the people at the caucuses, and only 1/3 of Republicans ever go to these events!!!!

EVEN If a "winner" gets 1/3 of the votes, from 1/3 of the Republicans, that's 1/9th of all Republicans supporting one person.

These caucuses are a meaningless fiction propagated by the television networks to keep us under-informed and entertained.
