So the caucus starts when exactly? Everyone votes and leaves or do they stay? From what I understand they stay and gather in groups and wait to see who has more support then others, and if their candidate/group is less then 15% then they usually end up supporting someone else right? Like other groups try to get them to support their candidates???

BUT does that mean you have to be there all day? Or can you just show up in the last 1/2hour or so of the "debate" of the caucus and leave later before the final votes are tallied up? What advantage is there to getting early? What advantage is there to staying till the end? What about the people that just come to vote and leave? Do they have actual paper ballot votes of any type or is it all just people in groups showing support for candidates??? I'm confused about the whole thing to be honest!
