Jonathan Bernstein claims that the "anti-caucus animus has gone way too far":
The distinction between those who can just drop in at their polling place and vote and those who have to spend a couple of hours at a caucus looks a lot less significant if the real key to having an important voice in the nomination is spending hours building up strong ties within the party—or, for that matter, spending lots of money to do the same.
It’s those party actors, from elected officials down to long-time activists, who should, and do, have influence within the nomination process. And if they believe they can do it best through the current system, then there’s no reason for us on the outside to intervene. Indeed, our outrage at the injustices of the primary process—including caucuses—should be tempered by the fact that it’s never entirely been about fairness to begin with.
