Are you from Colorado? If you or I don't like it (I'm not from CO, and I prefer primary elections, too), we can move there, join the GOP there, and get them to remake the rules. Or fail in the attempt. Right?
Why should we be allowed to run Colorado's delegate selection from New York or Ohio or Washington, D.C.? It's their state, isn't it? Conservatives accept eccentric differences among the States. Don't we?
They changed the rules a few times, got rid of a primary for a caucus and got rid of the caucus for nothing. Sure the powers that be did that, but it is no different then what went on in Communist Russia to keep the “party” in power
Defend it all you want, but I am calling it what it was
