I believe in a representative republic. As regards Colorado, you are either willfully ignorant of the voting in Colorado or a deliberate misinformationist to keeping beating that “Colorado constituents didn’t get to vote drum.” 65,000 people in Colorado voted and you don’t like the way they voted. Tough.

Who were these 65,000 people? Ordinary Republican voters? Or people whowent through the long confusing process to be elected a delegate? That’s not a real vote. You have been misled to think rigged state conventions are the same as a primary vote. That was the process but it was unethical and was rigged to favor Cruz.

I am well aware delegates have to be elected in every state. But in most it is after citizens have voted for a candidate in a primary or cacus. In Colorado there was neither just went straight to delegate elections at a state convention. The same with a few other states like Michigan, Wyoming, North Dakota and the such. Ordinary Republicans didn’t all flock to a state convention to cast ballots for a candidate. In fact that wasn’t the process. Itwas just to elect delegates and primary be damned. It was a selection not an election for delegates only.

From my quick look at Maine, over 2,000 people were elected at the local caucuses to go to the state convention to vote for the 23 actual people that will fill the 23 delegate SPOTS that are open. Based on the early voting, those SPOTS are in the 12,9,2 allocation on the first ballot. On the second ballot they can vote for whoever they want to.

It would seem obvious that the ratio of the 23 spots carries over to the 2000 people that will be electing the people to fill those spots. So if the majority of voters are Cruz people, then no doubt almost all of the 23 delegates will be Cruz supporters as well. (About 200 people will be at the convention hoping to get elected to one of the 23 spots).

[...65,000 people in Colorado voted...]

And over a million were cut out by the rino elite who change the rules in August to disenfranchise Colorado voters who would vote Trump. This delegate thing is a sham of the pro liberal pro tyranny neo-con left wing pro Hillary Gopee’s.
