They need to get rid of caucuses and all this nonsense, but I do think it's funny that when Cruz does this it's great organization and strategy but when others do it (Clinton and Sanders) it's the destruction of democracy.

Watching the other side decay into anarchy is one thing. I expect more from our side. After all, we're the party that has a proportional 15% delegate threshold in every state and territory. At least, despite our differences in candidate choice, we can agree that caucuses are a terrible idea. It's bad enough they're unrepresentative, but it's compounded by these idiotic delegate conventions. I'm not aware of any such procedures in primary states. If a state doesn't want to move into the era of democracy and use a primary, it should be denied participation in the primary process. Last time I checked, I do believe that every state (or at least virtually all) conducts primaries for other elected offices. If they cannot at least add a line for the Presidency in their normal process, they really have no business participating. On the whole, I really do expect better from the Democratic Party than what Republicans are doing.
