CAUCUS: Many will not be able to participate

Reading on the various things to expect with the caucus drew me to the conclusion that many will be denied the opportunity to not only vote in a presidential primary but also in the caucus. Seriously, sign-ins from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In most cases more than one precinct in each caucus location. Of course, already many have been eliminated due to no absentee, no one who is working during that time, military, elderly unable to get transportation as well as those that may be ill. According to the paper, if you’re in line at 12:30 you will get in — very encouraging, right. I love lines, don’t you? But no matter what you may think the die has probably been already cast for Trump in our area.

According to Ms. Cochran’s letter this morning, the KCRCC has done the work of vetting and have determined the best candidates. Just look how well NIC, The Community Library Board and the Assessor’s office are doing. I will say, that not all of their candidates have been bad — the Coroner’s office seems to be doing quite well. At any rate, do your homework don’t just vote for everyone the KCRCC endorses. Another thing to keep in mind, we are all Americans — Republicans, Democrats, Independents and the unaffiliated and all may have some good ideas just listen. As the Proverb 18:2 says “Fools have no interest in understanding; they just want to air their own opinions.”

This Wednesday (Feb. 14) is a day for love. Observe it with your loved ones and those you may not agree with. Be kind and respectful to others.
