Colorado changed the process months before the first vote was cast in ANY caucus or primary.

You are correct...the Denver Post article talks about that here:

GOP leaders have never provided a satisfactory reason for forgoing a presidential preference poll, although party chairman Steve House suggested on radio at one point that too many Republicans would otherwise flock to their local caucus.

Imagine that: party officials fearing that an interesting race might propel thousands of additional citizens to participate. But of course that might dilute the influence of elites and insiders. You can see why that could upset the faint-hearted.

…the fact that the Republican leadership then took matters a step further and deprived even that narrow slice of voters a voice in one of the most competitive, consequential political nominations in memory – and perhaps in history – is mindboggling.

yes to suit the party and the party pick.
They were hoping for bush, it never happened, they hoped for Walker it never happened, they hoped for Rubio it never happened.
Cruz is their guy now and this is why the rules change.
The party changes the rules to suit themselves so don’t tell me this is not a rigged primary election.
The same is for the Dems with their super delegates.

Pay off a few delegates and bingo they change their vote.
You want to ignore that corruption?

Yes and the process was changed to lock out outsiders like Cruz initially. Now you’re supporting that process. Hypocrisy.
