The caucuses at convention are by county. So those of us who live in the smaller counties are at a real disadvantage. If there had been more Clinton delegates allocated, I'd have probably got a spot, but unfortunately, the good white hippies of Maine were feeling the Bern, and got most of the delegates.

I console myself with the thought that, by losing, I saved thousands of dollars, and in 2020, I can try again. All the delegates will be for Hillary that time.
