Possibly, but if a candidate can't win an open primary election, there's a problem with their candidacy. Sanders is learning the same lesson as Corbyn. You need a plurality of the electorate, not a super-hyped up 5-15% who preach their candidate's gospel on twitter with feverish zeal.

Caucuses aren't representative, heck, with turnout that low, you could argue that they're barely democratic.

They aren't democratic at all. Hopefully this is the last we'll ever see of what few of them are left.

If you think the RNC is abandoning caucuses, you're out of your mind. They even have state conventions that no one votes in at all.

This is probably the last year there'll be caucuses in the Democratic nominating process, but that's far from saying they're done completely.

Isn't there a state law in Iowa requiring parties to hold a caucus instead of a primary?

Not surprising given the situation there.
