Colorado Republican can find out where your party leadership lives. Probably inside some gated community. Just saying.....
If Colorado republicans want to change the rules by legit procedures go ahead for 2020.
It’s wrong to know the rules fail by the rules and then complain after you don’t get the results you want.
Thousands of people voted for the Cruz delegates this year by the rules.
Trump is the one trying to cheat
My thoughts are that it is a very bad policy. But the State can change it. I am not in favor of compelling States to change their laws through coercing them, but through the ballot box. It’s called States Right to Govern.
The question of how power should be divided between the federal government and the states is really what American politics has been all about for well over two centuries. It is a question debated by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, debated by Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the ratification period, and debated between and within our political parties ever since. Elections have been won and lost on this question, and a Civil War fought over it.
That reallt says a lot about who the CO GOPe wanted for the republican nominee for president...It was rigged for their private selection...
Why didn’t they use this method for the Republican presidential primary/caucus????
The Democrats held a popular vote caucus...Why didn’t the GOPe of Colorado????
Voting by mail... What an asinine way to vote.
Were you complaining about Colorado Caucus process in 1912 when it began?
Did you ever care that Straw Votes were never binding?
For example, if there are two Republican candidates for U.S. House in your congressional district, and if only one of them got more than 30% at the congressional district assembly (a several hundred mile road trip, in my case), then there will be nothing on the primary ballot for that office. Only those who drove across the state to vote will have had any say.
This is not as bad as the presidential primary, but this means that the caucus-assembly-convention system is still reducing (though not entirely eliminating) the influence of the rank-and-file voters.
Why do you not go ask them.
They have web sites.
They have facebook pages.
It really isn’t that hard.

This proves without a doubt, the rules changes in the Presidential
whatever you call it, were rigged against Trump.
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.
Colorado?
Bush’s fault!
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!”™
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.
It’s sad to think that the same professional political types who write these rules for delegate selection are basically the same people who helped develop the Internal Revenue Code into what it is today. And they probably still wonder why so many people are voting against the establishment.
Let it go. If you can win the nomination, do so.
I think that Colorado republicans should write in “Donald Trump” for every office from dog catcher on up as a protest vote.
