41. I think you are right
Goalposts remain firmly in place :)

I have mixed feelings about that rational for holding the follow up caucus, but if the matters being voted on there are internal to Party mechanics, or local in scope, that makes a degree of sense to me. The activists are the people left holding the bag when there is a vote to organize a larger convention, or operate the party mechanics under some new set of rules imposed on them. But in a scenario like the one we just had in this presidential contest, it became more of a re run using a different set of rules than the primary that just was held. And the system wasn't in place to smoothly operate under this type of stress.
