Show me the lie.
The people of Colorado never got to choose between Trump and Cruz. They had no say. They were marginalized.
The BS that this is all ok because they voted in some county elections back in March is beyond laughable. That vote had nothing to do with the republican primary.
“Show me the lie.”

The article is intentionally misleading, I believe. The article tries to conflate two unrelated concepts. First, it argues that in some states Trump got, say, 50% of the votes but 60% of the delegates and thus was unfair to Cruz. Of course, the same is true for Cruz, who won by 13% in Wisconsin, and got about 90% of the delegates. The fact that the popular vote percentage and delegate percentage does not match up is true for every state’s delegate allocation system (some are winner take all, some proportional, some hybrid) and NEITHER candidate is complaining about this, because this fact does not favor either candidate in any way.
Next, the article tries to take the above disparity in popular vote and delegate allocation (which applies equally to each candidate, fair and square) and argue, without any logical connection, “Thus, the Colorado system was fair.” Wrong. In every other state, the voters got to actually vote for a candidate. In Colorado, they changed their system with Trump leading Cruz in the polling. It appears they did this to make the system more favorable for Cruz, and in the process they deprived one million of their citizens of the right to vote, and instead turned the process over to party insiders. It does not pass the smell test.
The former head of the Colorado republican party, not a Trump supporter, agreed that the process appeared unfair, saying “We’re sending the message that your vote doesn’t matter and your voice doesn’t count.”
The fact that the Colorado GOP sent out a tweet saying “We did it. #NeverTrump” makes it clear what was going on.
