    I’m only slightly familiar with the caucus concept. Would love to know more about who routinely uses it in the Lansing area instead of a party primary . What are the basic rules? It seems like advance notice and start times might become an issue for the Thornton Township Democrat caucus . It feels counterintuitive to a fair process for choosing nominees, but it must be a choice for a reason.

    • @Mandy-nt2cs
      @Mandy-nt2cs หลายเดือนก่อน

      There was advance notice and notification of start times... They even post a fire on the door and gave contact info. But yes, you're right.. I'm sure they created the process for a reason, perhaps as a failsafe to get rid of corrupt politicians who make it hard for themselves to lose power.

    • @lansingjournal
      @lansingjournal  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Although the caucus concept has been around for a long time, it is rarely used, so there is a lot of confusion about what the rules are. My current understanding (subject to change as I learn more) is that each Committeeman, both Republican and Democrat, has the authority to call a caucus. In addition, there are some general rules that govern the proceedings, but also some rules that the Committeemen have the authority to set with the approval of the committee members.

    • @lansingjournal
      @lansingjournal  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm not sure about that. The Republican Caucus had a rule that disallowed people from participating or being on the ticket if they had voted in the 2024 Democratic Primary, or if they were an elected or appointed official of a different political party. It's possible the Thornton Township Democratic Committee has similar rules in place.

      @@Bee-pg1fv that may very well be, but it's more likely that it's a cultural thing, the remnants of which you'll see occasionally and far more prominently in his community.
      most conservatives will think, 'we're done with that bullshit, i never believed in it to begin with.' that's our mindset for most of us overall, it just is. for those conservatives who actually thought there was some kind of benefit, they've long ago let it go.
      anyone who's sick, though, probably wouldn't be wearing a mask like that with a brand name on it. nah, this guy got vaxxed and who knows how many boosters. it just doesn't ring true with midwest conservatives these days.
      i'll put it this way -- had trump worn a mask the entire time, he would have lost the election.

    This may have been a calmer meeting, but anyone who thinks corruption is not a republican attribute is not being honest about politicians and the political environment that they create. The 2 party system must be dissolved so that multiple candidates with the citizen’s welfare as their focus be allowed to run for all political seats.

He sounds like Tiff...empty. He’s got to step his game up. The township will sense his weakness immediately. The residents have learned very with Tiff.

      because simple people like bright and shiny things even when a hundred red flags are in their face. trump is also bright and shiny, but he's also competent in ways which america needs. the GOP hasn't quite figured out that people today want a little razzle-dazzle, a little showmanship, a little gameshow host charisma.
      this guy is gonna get just beat up -- he looks old and weakly, he's dull as dishwater, his clothes don't fit, and his platform seems like vague platitudes. meanwhile, harris is 45, strong, an NFL superbowl player, handsome, his clothes fit, is a business owner, is a senator, and basically an over-achiever who grew up in dixmoor. trounced doesn't even begin to describe the whupping the republican is about to take.
