Winner take all primaries are flawed too. Especially when the winner that takes all doesn’t even get a majority.

“Winner take all primaries are flawed too. Especially when the winner that takes all doesn’t even get a majority.”

That is better than a vote suppressing complex system designed to allow the political elite to assign delegates. The national GOP told the Colorado people last year that they could not have a straw poll and then ignore the results when assigning delegates. To me that would signify that Colorado needed to institute either a regular caucus or a primary. Instead they abolished the straw poll.

This was planned operation to give the delegates to Cruz and it would not have mattered if Trump had 90% support in the state.

I think they should have all nomination elections [closed] for the republican party on the same day in late May. What’s so hard about that?
