Despite the parking problems, daunting lines and poor organization, the crowd at my caucus location, Ensign Elementary, was enthusiastic and optimistic. The next day the results were astounding — 80 percent support for Bernie Sanders, 20 percent support for Hillary Clinton.
With a proportional split in delegates, Sanders came away with more than fond memories of his two huge rallies in Salt Lake City.
But two of Utah's four superdelegates, Patrice Arent and Breanne Miller, made up their minds before the caucus occurred. They intend to vote for Clinton regardless of the enormous disparity in votes.
Clearly they have learned from the majority party in Utah that what the people want is not important.
