it has been like this for hundreds of years..Heck, Eisenhower actually trailed Taft in delegates going into 1952 year convention...
When primaries were beauty contests and before they became binding in the 1960’s. Hopefully Colorado will go back to a presidential primary after the chaos of a caucus the Democratic side this year. The will of the people marches on and it seems to be supported on both sides of the aisle.
i just looked that up tonight. The credentials process actually gave the three slates in question to Taft.
Somehow, Eisenhower and nixon got the larger convention delegates to overrule the committees.
Makes Ike seem FAR less popular than what we have been brainwashed to believe.
