It’s a better system than letting Democrats “cross over” in open primaries. I think New York at least has the right idea in making people register for the party in the primary 8 or so months before the vote is held.

To the extent we have primaries in Colorado (for other offices), they are closed. Open vs. closed has not been an issue here.

Thank you for your support of the GOPe, mutable “rules”, and inside gaming. Slick Teddy is no outsider. He never has been. You know it. Everyone knows it. But, if this critically well thought-out defense you have presented here for us of The Peoples Republic of Colorado and the complicit fraud Cruz helps get you through the night, then sobeit. By the way, just screenshotted Drudge. You should take a look at it if you are having trouble sleeping. LOL

Please. An election with no voters is a sham.

All states should have closed primaries.The number of delegates from each state should be based on the number of Republican voters in that state in the previous election. All voters should have to be registered as party members well in advance of primary day. All delegates should be bound. All delegates should be awarded proportionally, according to the percentage of the vote each candidate received.

Five simple rule changes fix all of this.Five simple rules avoid wheeling and dealing and ensure the eventual nominee represents the expressed will of Republican voters.

Of course it won’t happen, because the party would lose the power to overrule the people’s choice. But five simple rule changes would fix all of this.
