Supports the theory that Sanders’ respectable 2016 national showing was mostly just him being propped up by caucuses and not actual wide swaths of the electorate. Remember how drastically different the Washington and Nebraska caucuses were from their respective beauty contest primaries
Most caucus states in 2016 were those that were demographically favourable to Bernie. The Washington/Nebraska beauty contest primaries naturally had far lower turnout due to their irrelevance but Bernie did fine in the primaries of similar states.
Not true. Turnout was exponentially larger despite the fact that they were meaningless.
