That's not how the caucuses work. The primary election decides who the general election candidate will be, not the caucuses. They don't decide who the candidate is. Caucuses can put multiple candidates on the primary ballot. Any candidate who gets a minimum of 30 percent of the caucus vote gets on the primary ballot, along with any candidate who can petition his or her way on the primary ballot directly. It's very open. Just get 30 percent and you're on the ballot.
