Looking Ahead to the Nevada Caucus

The next stop for GOP presidential hopefuls is the Nevada caucus on Saturday. Unlike contests in the East and  Midwest, the Silver state’s largely libertarian voters are less interested in social issues and religion and more concerned with gun reform laws, jobs, education and immigration reform. The latter point is particularly tricky: while Latinos generally don’t participate in caucuses, they make up 15 percent of the general election’s voters.
