After many months of planning and preparation, it’s finally time for Idaho Republicans to gather in churches, schools, and other community hubs for the 2024 presidential caucus. Even more important than casting a vote to decide who Idaho’s 32 delegates to the Republican National Convention will support, today is a day to gather with friends and neighbors and build the connections that make strong communities.
Idaho GOP chair Dorothy Moon didn’t choose to eliminate the presidential primary, but she and her team have been doing everything they can to make today a success. Read her latest column over at the Chronicle.
Speaking of the caucus, Bryan Hyde took a look at how naysayers have attempted to cause chaos rather than working together for the good of all:

Yesterday I published an article looking at how lawmakers don’t always know all the fact. To his credit, Rep. John Gannon responded with an apology for getting some things wrong. I wish more lawmakers were willing to do that. Check out the article now updated with his statement.
If you have an hour to spare, perhaps after the caucus, this interview between Auron MacIntyre and Aaron Renn is well worth your time. America is a Christian nation, or perhaps was. What can we do to maintain our faith and moral foundations in a rapidly changing society?
Local podcaster Matthew Todd sat down with Sen. Tammy Nichols recently for a long discussion about politics and policy:
Finally, have you ever gone to an event that turned out to be much less than advertised? Critical Drinker and his friends discuss perhaps the most ridiculous such example. A company created AI advertisements for a Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow but the results were very different:
Time to go caucus. I will be at Seven Oaks Elementary School in Eagle, and I hope to see some of you there!
