Well, I’m not sure what occurred in CO can be described as either a caucus or a primary, at least not like in any other state. Soothing Dave said they had a caucus there, so I may be mistaken on that point.
I do know this: I heard a caller call in to Levin’s radio show a while ago, I think back in Early March, asking for help in voting in CO. She was confused by the process, at a certain point saying (as best I can remember), “I think we are going in to vote for someone who will then vote for the candidate I want”, but she said she was confused by this process.
What she was describing sounded a lot like a primary to me, so I didn’t put much thought into it until this whole brouhaha occurred. The take home message is though that the people of CO did indeed have an opportunity to vote but the process seems murky at best and more detached from the actual will of the voter than other states.
But again that’s the process that the CO GOP chose, and it was in place for months before. Cruz’s team knew enough about it to exploit it. It’s not any different than a team behind in a basketball game committing fouls to stop the clock in a hope that by stopping the clock and getting the ball back after the free throw attempts, they may be able to catch up with enough quick breaks or 3 pointers. It’s not considered “abuse”’of any rule to do that. The same logic applies in this case.
so IOW Cruz had a chance and plenty of time to send in ringers to run on the “ballot” as Trump supporters..
and the Trump voters would not have known they were cheated on of their Constitutional rights by the so called Constitutional expert...
It was a convention, not caucus. There was a convention in each congressional district, then one statewide.
What a load of crap. Basketball games don't have flexible rules that can be changed before or during the game to benefit one team over another. Your analogy sucks.
