Will our votes count for anything?

Since I've been here I've attended three Republican caucuses, and ran one of them. Never again. I've also re-registered Unaffiliated.

Votes at the caucuses are basically meaningless. The only way to have any affect is to get selected to be a delegate to attend the (later) county assembly (which can be a stupifying all-day marathon). This may be of some value if there's a hot contest for County Commissioner or some other local office. If you're a real bear for punishment, you might try to get to the state convention, which is where the most ill-informed Republicans in the state congregate to put people like Dan Maes on the ballot for governor.

The goop party in Colorado is worse than worthless. Chistie ran a $175,000 attack add against Tom Tancredo in the primary election for governor and poisoned the water so bad that many did not vote for governor but voted for some other positions. Christie got the dimocRat Chickenooper elected and made us suffer. Republicans Repent!!!

Thanks, I appreciate your answer.

So, just so I’m clear; If we go tonight, to the best of your knowledge, we will selecting someone to attend the County (or State) ‘convention’ as a delegate, and those delegates in turn will vote for Cruz, Trump, or one of the others?

Are these delegates required to vote for the candidate we choose tonight?

I hope you know the answers, as this seems like a system designed to frustrate the average voter.
