Ah, buckle up, because Becky Noble is here to spill the tea on her first caucus experience in Missouri, and let’s just say it was a hot mess like a microwave burrito left in for too long! With a conservative heart beating in her chest akin to Old Glory fluttering in the wind, Becky dove headfirst into the chaotic world of caucuses, and boy, did she come out swinging like a bald eagle with a bad case of road rage.
My First Caucus Experience and Why It Was a Hot Messhttps://t.co/6dxVCZES0R

Now, picture this: a room filled with about 250 folks, all raring to make their voices heard in the sea of nearly 742,000 souls in the First Congressional District. Seems like a good turnout, right? Wrong! If you ask Becky, and bless her red, white, and blue heart, she’ll tell you it’s a prime argument for sticking to good ol’ primaries. But the show must go on, as they say, even if it feels like herding cats with a string of spaghetti.
In a twist that would make even a soap opera writer blush, the caucus organizers seemed as lost as a squirrel in a shopping mall. With people counting like they were trying to tally up the national debt on their fingers and toes, it’s no wonder the whole ordeal felt more like a game of musical chairs at a retirement home than a serious political event. And don’t even get Becky started on the delegate slates that seemed as fixed as a cat’s gaze on a laser pointer.
But the real cherry on top of this chaotic sundae? The attendees being asked about changes to the state party platform without a clue in the world about what was going on. Do we read and vote on them, or do we pass the buck like a hot potato? It’s like trying to pick a favorite ice cream flavor in a parlor with way too many choices! All in all, Becky’s got one loud and clear message for the Missouri Legislature: “Can we please just go back to primaries already?”
This caucus experience lands harder than a truth bomb in a room full of lies. Confusion reigns supreme, and with folks left out of the process faster than a kid picked last for dodgeball, it’s enough to make even the most stalwart of conservatives scratch their heads. So, here’s to hoping Missouri finds its way back to the simplicity of primaries like a homing pigeon returning to its roost. Becky Noble signing off, bringing the sass and class to a political circus near you!
