We talk about Kentucky's Caucus this year, from the eyes of the volunteers on the front line. 

Mark Collier, Sarah Cameron and David Cameron were caucus officials this year at Campbell County High School. Brian Sand was a representative for one of the candidate's campaigns. 

The caucus took place on March 5, 2016. Ted Cruz had the most votes in the county, followed by Donald Trump. Trump took the most delegates with him from the Commonwealth's total.

We talk with Sarah Cameron, who is volunteering to help organize the Campbell County Caucus in Kentucky on Saturday, March 5. Everything you need to know. 

Then we spend some time with Strategic Advisers', Pat Crowley, discussing the political climate. Who does he think makes it out of the GOP and Democratic primaries?
