Makes my head hurt to read, just like the IRS, the whole system needs to be simplified so Joe Schmoe who doesn't have time to go through all these political machinations, can have his vote count, right now it seems delegates aren't representing what the majority of voters want, just what the majority of a few insider political party wonks want.

So why have voter primaries, just call them delegate primaries and let them have delegate rallies, just forget about what the people actually want, just the delegates matter. Glad Trump is exposing the absolute corruption of the political process and Cruz is indirectly helping too by just playing the game the corrupt way it's set up to be played.

It is quite simple to vote in Colorado as a delegate. You must be affiliated with the party for 60 days. You must be registered to vote 29 days before the caucus. And finally you need to live in the precinct you will vote in for 30 days at the time of the vote.

These are just so you can vote. Very basic requirements if you ask me. If you think people cant vote for candidate you are wrong. Just about anyone can vote in this caucus with a little planning.

So what if you have to spend a few nights at the caucus till a candidate is chosen. This just eliminates to people who are not willing to put in the effort to choose a candidate wisely. Because if they cant do that why would they spend several nights at the caucus?

It took me less than a minute to find these rules. Anybody who thinks that only party insiders and back room deals by the GOPe are what is happening in Colorado have not put in the most basic of research. If they had they would know how easy it is to vote in Colorados caucus.
