“I’m just not sure what happened here,”
Ted Cruz happened here and because of that, CO has little chance of flipping Red.
Hopefully IA and WI can undo the damage.

I think the same thing that's happened with Virginia, Colorado is now just too far gone down the blue democrat cesspool due to an influx of west coast liberals, illegals and Government Employees. I think at this point Republicans would be better off just cutting their losses in states like Colorado and Virginia and trying to make up the votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota which seem to be trending more Republican (at least at the state level).
An update on this, from my perspective here in Mesa County: Many of the party activists who created the state convention mess that gave us Ted Cruz and a national scandal seem to be willing to at least tepidly support Trump in the general. The residual problems are that these activists
are openly contemptuous of the voters, whom they consider too ignorant to vote—in spite of the activists' history of nominating problematic candidates,
are desperate to continue the current non-primary system of caucus packing and delegate poaching so they can use it again four years from now.
Cruz has done some serious pollution in CO.
