You see, contrary to the impression that many people have been left with over the past couple of days, Colorado’s traditional caucus-night poll had never been a binding, primary-like election. That’s not how it worked. It was a simple straw-poll — nothing more, nothing less. It wasn’t the process used to distribute delegates to the candidates.
The nomination procedure in this state has been driven by the election of representatives for over a hundred years (except for from 1992 to 2002). It starts with grassroots caucus attendees from local precincts voting on congressional-district delegates (their neighbors) to represent them, and ends at the state convention a few weeks later when the representatives finish selecting national delegates to back a candidate at the national convention.

Typical LIV cult of personality Trump whiner. I asked how Mr. Trump will overcome 70% negatives with female voters in the general election and you respond with attacks on Cruz, Kasich, and the Hildebeast in the primary.
I gave you an answer. You just don’t want to hear it. If all women hate Trump why is Ted Cruz losing to him? What does that say about Cruz?
You problem is Trumpers are issue oriented and not blinded by Cruz’s self interested false conservatism. I watched TPA Teddy campaign with amnesty Ryan for a month to enable the most lawless POTUS in history. Ted Cruz the man does not match the myth and that is why he’s losing to Trump.
I dunno about that. After I said that, I checked the history and darned if she wasn’t pecking away yesterday, and I couldn’t even find her opus any longer on my side bar. A mystery to me.
I swear I saw where the owner delivered his umpteenth, “Well, bye”.
The way it looks now, the GOPe is going to ‘win’ by losing.
The entire system is rotten - on this we can both agree.
*side note* You and yours are in my daily prayers
Thank you so much. I have been posting today as a kind of diversion. It doesn't seem to be helping. Oh Well.
One moment at a time, I’ve no doubt you are doing the best that can be expected. Sending hugs and more prayers
Yeah right, party hack indeed, my check comes next week.
I am just a citizen involved, if that makes me a party hack, then I guess you couch potatoes who never get involved party regulars.
Hard to believe that Cruz took all the delegates from Colorado because he had his people speak to them personally. What did that ask for in return for their vote? Surely the Trump people made a few calls at least to win over some of those delegates and yet not a single one voted for Trump. I can only speculate but I cannot rule out that those delegates, everyone of them, are GOPe and are threatened by a Trump presidency. They do not want the change that we voters want.
