Ok so it sounds like he didn’t file for the primary, which they switched to in 2020, and intentionally used the outdated and now meaningless process that the GOP used in 2022 (no punishments ofc), knowing he’d stoke conspiracy theories of “voter suppression” because his name wasn’t on the ballot (again: because he didn’t file for the primary) AND because the caucus results will be disregarded (again: because they are meaningless according to NV state law). And his fans will only care that those things happened, not why they happened.
Article really doesn’t explain it, but has this quote:
Trump is not on the ballot because he did not file for the state election. He is expected to easily win the caucuses and claim all of Nevada’s 26 delegates
Which implies the caucus decides the winner. Guess that leaves voters kind of fucked.
This is the first time Nevada is experiencing the dual contests. The shift happened after a Democratic-led state Legislature changed the law, eliminating state-run caucuses after the 2020 election. The state Republican Party nevertheless decided to hold a caucus. It has decried the state-run primary, saying that it is a waste of taxpayer money and that it is suspicious of the possibility of voter fraud.
NV State Law now specifies that primaries are how it’s done, and that caucuses are no longer meaningful. How is that ambiguous?
And let’s also be clear about leaving voters “kinda fucked”: that’s on the GOP for intentionally engaging in a legally meaningless process for theatrics.
The Republicans aren’t using the primary vote to award delegates though. They’re continuing to use the caucus for that. This is the fact on the ground, the vote will be what people talk about, and if Haley managed to win, it could help her stay in the news a bit longer.
However, Biden wasn’t on the NH ballot, but still won easily on write in votes. However, because of breaking the Dems rule about primary order, the NH Democratic primary didn’t award any delegates to any of the Democrat candidates.
The party can award the delegates however it wants, remember the about superdelegates that kept Bernie from having a snowball’s chance in hell in the 2016 primaries? This is similar bullshit, except that Haley has even less of a chance than Sanders did.
Nevada state law has no practical way to be relevant to the GOP on this. If they want to use their caucus results instead, then that’s what they’ll do.

If what you say is true, then it means that Trump supporters who have stuck with him this far are complete idiots.
Are you really comfortable with that? Really??
Because I certainly am comfortable with that.
Where have you been that this is what convinces you that Trump supporters are idiots?
Your and jorandlunds posts are in exact opposition to each other.
You say the Caucus doesn’t matter and Primary does.
He says the Primary doesn’t matter and the Caucus does.
Which is it.

Straight from the article:

My quote was also from the article, which is the whole issue of confusion we’re taking about…
the article says the R delegates will be assigned based on the caucus only.
When your entire political MO is white grievance, you gotta fake it so you can make it.
Maybe habba did the paperwork while pretending to be smart.
