Nevada's a little weird this time. They held both a primary and a caucus, with the state of Nevada organizing the primary and the Republican party the caucus. The Republican party is actually boycotting the Nevada run primary because of something something Democrats. The caucus is still happening and Trump's involved in that one.

"State law requires both major parties to have a primary. But they can also have a caucus, which the state GOP decided to do.

Trump decided to participate in the caucus Thursday because the Nevada GOP said you can only get delegates towards becoming the Republican nominee if you participate in the caucus.

Candidates cannot participate in both."

I am completely misunderstanding something because this reads to me like putting your name on the ballot is effectively forfeiting any hope of winning delegates and announcing that total lack of faith in yourself to the general public.
