Waste of time when the Colorado Politburo selects the delegates.
Trump only does well in states where people get to vote.
If you’d like some facts to go with your hyperbole, there are over 8,000 Delegates and Alternates, selecting among 605 candidates to seat 13 Delegates and 13 Alternates.
Those 8000 Delegate were each elected at lower assemblies.
If you believe those 8000 are bought and paid for, that’s your problem, but its not reality.
If Trump will only do well where people vote, then he’ll lose large.
The people don’t vote at the convention; delegates do.
And the “politburo”, as you say, pick delegates in most places.
The convention is going to be full of party insiders. That’s the whole purpose of a convention.
No. If Trump wants to stay viable after round one, every delegate counts. He has to contest here. Can he win without those particular delegates? Sure. But he won’t win if he blows off contesting for delegates just because the insiders will have a say.
Trump only does well where democrats can vote in the primaries.
The reason he's not going is he's extremely unpopular in Colorado and is likely to garner 0 delegates.
Sometimes a movement recruits people such as pro-life, Tea Party, NRA etc.
Participating in the process is time consuming and at your personal cost. At the local level, the cost is minimal but grows at higher levels. I never attended a National Convention because the cost is very very high. My point, I would never take orders from party bosses on who I would support because it was MY TIME and MY Money. In fact, my experience was that the delegates are often at odds with the leadership.
So the TRUMP people can imagine all they want of a VAST Conspiracy to deny Trump the nomination but the reality it has thus far failed in the process and still does not grasp how party politics work (even though Trump chose to run as a Republican and not Independent).
“Trump only does well in states where people get to vote.”
We’ll said.
