Sure. What we are seeing is that delegates can be used to thwart the will of the people.

Rules change in August: Colorado’s delegates were supposed to remain unbound until the convention.

Primary in March: No results have been released (why?).

Surprise delegate allocation to Cruz: an obvious underhanded attempt to derail Trump is supposed to be evidence of Trump’s lack of skill or strategy. One problem with that: in a sane world, the candidates court the voters. They shouldn’t have to buy delegates. Obviously, the GOP in CO is doing what it can to rig the election for the elite establishment. I don’t know if Cruz is complicit, or just happy to accept the results—either way, he is merely a tool. Once he has been used to deflect the will of the people, the media/political cabal will cast him aside. He is unlikely to win the general, and even if he does—he’s nothing more than Obama’s third term.

It is starting to look like Slick Cruz’s Colorado maneuver may be one for the future political campaign history books

There is hardly an American around who hasn’t been legally screwed by not reading or understanding “ the fine print” . That doesn’t mean we think it’s fair or feel satisfied about it.

I think Colorado is going to be a skid mark on Slick’s campaign from now on and in his remaining political career. Those who admire and respect him for his maneuvers are in a pretty distinct minority that is going down, one way or another.

Primary in March: No results have been released (why?). No results were released because there was no primary. There were caucuses on March 1 at which delegates for district conventions were elected.
