"Democratic delegates were nearly five times more likely than Democratic rank-and-file to have incomes over $75,000, three times more likely to have a college degree, and over five times more likely to have done postgraduate work," they said.
More importantly, on most of the issues "Democratic activists and rank-and-file might as well have come from different parties. On every social and economic issue, registered Democrats' views were closer to those of all registered voters than to those of Democratic delegates," the memo said.

That spells out pretty nicely, IMO. The problem with the party system as we have it now is that candidates are chosen by the most activist of their respective parties. The average voter doesn't really know or care what a "caucus" is. And the Dems are dominated by the leftie loons for this election, by all appearances.
