There will be chaos

I’ve just been watching a caucus training session for Hillary Clinton supporters here in Austin and the only conclusion that you can draw is that the Texas caucuses are going to be a mess to rival what happened in Nevada. The Texas process is bizarre. On election day, there is a normal primary and then once the polls close there is a caucus which determines how a third of the delegates are allocated. The rules for the caucus are unbelievably complicated. The instructor was reduced to reassuring the crowd that there is “bound to be someone there who kinda knows what’s happening.”
