65,000 people voted in the Colorado caucus.

And not one of those votes had any influence on the delegate selection.

Of course they did. Those 65,000 elected people to serve as delegates to the state and Congressional district conventions, which then selected the final delegates. The intermediate delegates were selected on March 1st based on who they pledged to support.

This is not new in Colorado and the participation rate has been relatively constant in the recent past. The mouth-breathing angry WWE/NASCAR folks now angrily throwing beer cans at their televisions don’t change that.

Good point! Its like the Soviet Union: Do you wish to vote for a Cruz delegate, another Cruz delegate, or this other Cruz delegate? No, that Trump number was skipped because he was a Trump delegate. Which Cruz delegate do you wish to vote for?

Oh wow! Amazing, the people chose just Cruz delegates. Democracy in action.

Next cycle we will save time and just have them hand in a sealed envelope with the delegate they pick. Voters are not allowed to open the envelope...its a secret ballot you know...

The delegates elected from the precinct meetings and the district conventions would likely disagree with you...

yes, they did. Those 65,000 people voted on who went to the county conventions, those conventions in turn voted on who went to CD conventions as well as the state conventions. These CD, and state conventions chose the delegates.
