Looks like Colorado knows how to hold a regular primary, when it wants to. They have one on June 28, 2016 for every office EXCEPT PRESIDENT. From the Senate on down. Sounds like regular voters are allowed to register their opinion on this election, without voting for blind delegates, evidently.
Your thoughts?
This proves without a doubt, the rules changes in the Presidential
whatever you call it, were rigged against Trump.
“It’s wrong to know the rules fail by the rules and then complain after you don’t get the results you want.”
When the Trump campaign gets delegates disqualified because the CO GOP DIDN’T follow their own rules, I’m sure you and all the other Cruz supporter who have held the RULES to be sacrosanct will applaud. Trump is already filing challenges to several of the CO delegates who were not nominated according to the RULES.

“I’m the former Chairman of the Pueblo County Republican Party and the person who developed the Slates for National Delegates for the Trump team. The Colorado GOP website was filled with errors posted about the National Delegates,” Becky Mizel told Breitbart News.
Mizel took a photograph of a ballot in Congressional District 7 that included ONLY the ballot numbers of delegate candidates, NOT the names of the candidates as required by state bylaws.”
Just another reminder that a political party can nominate whoever it wants by whatever means it pleases.
If you don’t like what a party is doing, don’t participate in its primary and don’t vote for its nominees.
As lousy as I thought participating in a caucus was, at least at some point I was handed a ballot that included:
Kasich
Cruz
Trump
The GOP voters of Colorado never even got that.
“We could have formed a 3rd party with Trump and we would have won. Instead they act like we’re one party then stab us in the back.”
Huh. Sounds like you need to reform the party. Get your State to do it. 3rd Party formed? In Months? Please. We can’t control two. Add a third? Not for me, thanks.
Colorado?
Bush’s fault!
Give us a breakdown of that 65,000 on who voted for Trump and Cruz.
Yes that is correct
You may want to look on the interweb for that thingie called the US Constitution
Originally even senators were not elected
The constitution had to be changed to allow it.
The president is elected by the electoral college not majority vote.
Were you alive or awake in 2000 ?
Since Colorado, Trump’s numbers have shot up while Cruz is tumbling. The American public has spoken.
Cruz: “I am the king of voterless states!”™
Am I your internet servant or something?
Chris Christie upset the apple cart in the last Colorado governor election so some tea party people got elected to much of the republican party. Some rules were changed to try to make things run better.
I would like to see some rules to stop electing turncoats that say one thing to get elected then turn their backs on the people.
Talk about pictures being worth 1000 words. +1
Were you alive or awake in 2000?
Lived it!
I guarantee that if those flawed ballots elected trump you and every trumpertantrums leader would hail it as the will of the people
You said 65,000 voted.
Yet, you cannot give a breakdown because no breakdown of votes
exist, because CO citizens were denied the right to vote directly for a
candidate.
Which means you lie.
Also means you sound a lot like a communist from the old Soviet Union.
That this is a republic not a democracy
Hint hint
Free REPUBLIC
Rule of law matters
The Colorado rules were known in advance
They are not a surprise
I wonder why one has to become a detective or researcher in order to cast a vote. To enfranchise voters, this process should be easy, not hard (provided we use voter ID).
Caucuses and other things like them, disenfranchise voters who work nights (like restaurant workers),those who work 24/7 shifts (like health care and first responders), military members, and every other group of persons who don’t work 9-5. It is a shameful system. It favors only senior citizens, students, homemakers, and those who have 9-5 jobs.
They should be outlawed, as they misrepresent the electorate.
Communists have elections all the time
Dear leader wins every time because there is no rule of law.
Whatever dear leader wants he gets.
It’s a cult of personality
There is definitely communism in the air here.
