30. And yet going into these caucuses, the playing field was level for all candidates
Everybody knew how they worked, how to work them, how to get them to work for you. All of this was a known quantity to everybody involved. The simple fact of the matter is that Obama has had a better game plan on how to approach them. Hillary on the other hand dismissed them.

To try and call foul at this juncture is disingenuous, and to do so comes across as whining. If you're in a caucus state and don't like them, well in the next few years you can get involved with like minded people and change them if you can. If the caucus states don't change, then they're obviously happy with them, and despite your complaints, it is up to the state party apparatus to decide these matters, not you, not the national folks. You have to respect that decision, take into consideration for future elections and move on.
