The people in Wyoming, CO, etc. are in charge of their state’s delegate selection, party activities etc. Most people don’t make the effort but they do have a voice or a vote, if they choose to stay on top of it before the train leaves the station.

It’s just easier to get on here afterward and bray that they wuz robbed or cheated than it is to do the hard boring work in the trenches.

This system basically disenfranchises everyone with a job, or who is not a raving neurotic. When you have people having to jump through all kinds of hoops and actually paying fees just to be involved, you've left the realm of a real democratic system and are, instead, leaving us to the whims of party officials, retirees and the jobless.

Well, there is an addendum to that: banksters, lawyers and other people who don’t have to work from 9 to 5. I saw a Goldman Sachs employee posing as a conservative Ted Cruz supporter over in Colorado.

Regular people who don’t have the freedom to engage in such a process, however, can’t be involved.

“...the hard boring work in the trenches.”

I'm not so sure how hard it is. But it does need to get done. I got two emails and a phone call from Cruz volunteers to go to my precinct caucus. Then later reminded me that I was elected as a delegate to my district caucus.

I am guessing that ground game of emails and calls was why of three people I know from three different districts (Washington State) it was 90%+ Cruz delegates in all three districts that will be going to our state Convention. My daughter and I (first time at this type of thing) are going to the State convention in May. It will be interesting.
