Was it binding?
We have never had a binding straw poll at the caucuses.
No, it wasn't binding. Per the Denver post:
"Colorado will not vote for a Republican candidate for president at its 2016" and "The GOP executive committee has voted to cancel the traditional presidential preference poll after the national party changed its rules to require a state's delegates to support the candidate who wins the caucus vote."
There was no presidential caucus. I don't care what y'all gas bags were talking about at your table. It wasn't binding, there was no binding presidential caucus, and my vote was ignored.
Oh now were talking “binding” all of the sudden. Suddenly the phrase “presidential caucus” means defined by the Denver post as “binding” presidential caucus. The agenda they gave us said to present cases for the candidates and vote by secret ballots for the candidates. we did that. The speeches were very concise and the discussion was polite, so I’m not sure how that makes us “wind bags”. Our delegate left knowing how we voted and how we wanted him to vote. We caucused, it happened. Everyone who has ever been to a Colorado GOP caucus wishes they could have that evening of their life back, but we can’t. We were there, we caucused about the presidential nominee. We voted on the presidential nominee. At the end of the night, we had the word of a non-liberal that he was going to go to the assembly and vote like we voted. I don’t care how “binding” the Denver post thinks that is.
We have always used the same foolish, convoluted, confusing way to assign delegates and national said that if we weren’t going assign delegates by the results of our straw poll we couldn’t have straw polls any more so we stopped having straw polls.
