BS has been good at caucuses, because in many anyone can go in an vote, but their turnout is dismal too. People like the show because their curious, but beyond that, not so much. The people that are voting are 39-65+ .

Just a little side note I couldn't wait to be able to vote, more so than when they lower the drinking age to 18. The disaster of 1972 made me even more determined to vote.....how could the liberal lose McGovern got 17 electoral votes to Nixon's 520. By the skin of my teeth Nixon stopped the draft in time right after the inauguration on Jan 27, 1973. Bernie Sanders thought this election wasn't important. The Democrats went around the guy with the primary popular vote Humphrey.......he was in my opinion a much better candidate. Never again would I be drawn to the person who wouldn't win. FYI Obama captured me at the DNC Convention in 04. Bernie Sanders will never capture main stream Democrats.....never, like McGovern.
