| so you're going to be ready to do some coxswain on monday night Yes, I am. | |
| Yep, I'm a precinct captain and county chair. | |
| Oh, that's terrific. | |
| So, Mr. Buskey, you've heard precinct captain, precinct chair. | |
| Most of our audience is unfamiliar with the caucus procedure. | |
| Can you give us a quick thumbnail sketch on how that works? | |
| Well, you can't just go in and vote any time of day. | |
| It starts at 7 o'clock. | |
| Doors are locked at 7. So people need to be there like at 6 o'clock? | |
| They need to be there by 6.30, preferably. | |
| And then there will be some speeches in favor of the different candidates. | |
| Very short, a couple minutes. | |
| And then the support will be divided up. | |
| And people will cast their vote and the vote will be recorded. | |
| But that's not the end of it necessarily. | |
| Then you have some county convention business to take care of and all of that. | |
| So that's kind of it in a nutshell. | |
| But it takes place at 7 o'clock. | |
| You can't go at just any time. | |
| You've got to be there. | |
| Okay, so the reports that it might be a three or four hour long deal, that might happen if you've got speakers in favor of each candidate. | |
| But if you've only got speakers in favor of four or five candidates, then it won't take that long, correct? | |
| That's right. | |
| That's true. | |
| The speeches are short, so that's not going to take the bulk of the time. | |
| They limit those to about how much? | |
| I've heard anywhere from one to five minutes. | |
| It depends on the county. | |
| It depends if the county gets to set that rule. | |
| They at least have some leeway in that. | |
| Now, ground game matters on how many precincts are going to have a speaker. | |
| Like, we've been aggressively trying to get a speaker in every precinct. | |
| Well, I know that Senator Cruz has talked about doing the full Grassley. | |
| Explain that to the audience. | |
| The full what? | |
| The full Grassley, which is he's visited. | |
| All 99 counties of Iowa. | |
| Yeah, it's a ground game, you know, and he's touched base with people, and we've worked and networked with all of our friends and neighbors, and we've worked aggressively to get precinct captains in every precinct, and, you know, that's where it all happens, all on that, you know, ground game level. | |
| Tell us, have you done caucuses before here in Iowa? | |
| Yes, I've caucused several times. | |
| I've actually ran a caucus when I lived down in Iowa City for the Republicans. | |
| So give us some inside baseball on running a caucus. | |
| Well, really, running a caucus, the Republicans, I have to say, are kind of boring. | |
| It's like a straw vote. | |
| We first vote for our candidates, then we work picking the delegates for the county caucus, and then you work any plank issues. | |
| And it's probably done, if you run it well, which I have, you can be done in like half an hour. | |
| About half an hour. | |
| Now, that could take longer this year, though, if you've got too many speakers for all the different candidates, right? | |
| Pretty much so. | |
| I mean, it could run maybe an hour. | |
| Here and I, we've been doing enough. | |
| We're pretty efficient about it. | |
| But really, people get up, give a speech. | |
| We take a straw vote. | |
| And then this year, I don't think there'll be much plank issues. | |
| Where in the past, during Reagan and Bush, there were a lot of plank issues. | |
| But I don't see that this time around. | |
| It's more or less people just want to vote for their candidate. | |
| So in many states that would be known as resolutions then? | |
| You're talking about the plank issues? | |
| Yeah, for the candidate to have their planks. | |
| And then they go to the county caucus, they still work on that. | |
| But with the Republicans, it's definitely just a straw vote. | |
| So as far as individual speakers for all the different candidates... | |
| I personally think it's probably pretty likely that a lot of the candidates are not going to have a speaker. | |
| Do you think that's what's going to happen? | |
| Well, usually it depends how well organized they are. | |
| They do try to get a speaker for each of the caucuses. | |
| You know, someone local does talk. | |
| I mean, the last caucus I went to, actually, I spoke, but I had the view that we weren't going to win. | |
| So I got up there and said, these are all lousy candidates, and we're not going to win. | |
| And then the room just was... | |
| Silent. | |
| I felt I had to say it, though. | |
| Right, that's it. | |
| Well, that's one big thing that we all got to be saying is we just have to go ahead and institute some political incorrectness at this point, the way things have been going. | |
| So you will be caucusing tonight for sure? | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| I'll be caucusing. | |
| Have you done caucuses before? | |
| Very first time. | |
| Oh, really? | |
| First time caucus event-goer in Iowa. | |
| So that's awesome. | |
| Are you familiar with how it works? | |
| Yes, sir, I am. | |
| Oh, can you give us kind of a thumbnail sketch of how the caucusing works? | |
| Well, you get here, I'm going to vote for Trump, and as many votes that Trump's get, we hope that he takes the Republican side of the things. | |
| So my understanding is you want to get there at 6 o'clock and sign up, and those that are not registered can go there and register on site, if they're not registered already. | |
| And then 7 o'clock, they close the doors, and everybody that's in there, they hand out... | |
| Three-by-five cards or something to write on. | |
| Everybody writes the name down, and then they all hand it up to the front, right? | |
| That's correct. | |
| That's how it works. | |
| And then there's all kinds of eyeballs watching those guys. | |
| There's at least five guys at the table watching to see what happens. | |
| So you think there's going to be an overflow crowd at your location tonight? | |
| I hope there is. | |
| What have your friends and neighbors had to say about the whole situation with the presidential caucusing? | |
| I don't talk to a whole bunch of friends. | |
| I don't, you know, people like this. | |
| When they want to come up with us, you know, when they come to me and talk to me about it, then I'll talk to them. | |
| I just don't go out and do it. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, I'll tell you what. | |
| Are you guys going to caucus tonight? | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| Have you all caucused before? | |
| Never in my life. | |
| No. | |
| No. | |
| We'll be at first. | |
| All right. | |
| So, folks, we just keep running into more and more people that have never caucused before. | |
| Have you all kind of had a rundown on how it works? | |
| I think you just come in and vote for Donald. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, they got the simple thing down. | |
| So, yeah, I think you'll have plenty of people that do know what's going on there that will guide you right through it. | |
| And I have no doubts that there are going to be plenty of Trump supporters that know exactly how that system works. | |
| I think you're right. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you all. | |
| I appreciate it. | |
