Stupidity should be painful.
Some see an equivalence between Trump, who collected more delegates than his vote...with Ted Cruz, who collected all the delegates (Colorado) with no vote at all.

Actually 60,000 people participated in the delegate selection process in Colorado. The participants voted during the process, at the local regional and state levels.

What you are saying is factually incorrect.

Voting should start with ALL members of the political party having the opportunity to vote in privacy, in a primary, and delegates apportioned for the first vote. I'd be all-in for rules that are very strict, much like New York's, so folks have to register for the political party MONTHS before voting day. That way, every member of the party could be informed of the process and what their vote means. It would also stop outrages like the nomination being stolen from McDaniel. It would allow candidates to reach out to folks who are actually voting in the primary.

In Colorado, they didn't even bother with a popular vote. Are we supposed to believe that they hoped for or encouraged every party member to show up at those meetings?
