Ah yes, the “baby with the bath water” approach..
I am well familiar with that view. Unfortunately, my analogy of the rise of Hitler and the Colorado delegate appointment process pertains despite my flaws in chronology. Hitler achieved complete control not because of his popular election but because of the Nazi party getting a majority of Reichstag members and back room deals to get the chancellorship.
Where party rules overrun the choices of the voters, the party is following the example of the National Socialists.

No, I very much disagree with that characterization.
In general, poor research leads to poor conclusions.
It’s interesting that you note that the party receiving 37% of the vote (the Nazis) had no real mandate and had to use backroom deals to gain power. Trump has received 37% of the votes in the GOP primaries to date. That would seem to reflect the reality that Trump has no mandate either and may have to resort to backroom deals to get the nomination.
