In what way were the citizens of Colorado disenfranchised? What stopped them from going to the county conventions?

Nothing.
Not a darn thing.

The problem is, the Trump campaign is a populist campaign. Pure democracy is its strength.

Representative government on the other hand, which is what Colorado was doing, is a populist’s biggest weakness.

You could have gone to your county convention. Nothing stopped you. Nothing stopped any member of the Colorado GOP from going and trying to get their delegates on to the county district conventions and the state convention.

Your guy had a complete lack of a grassroots campaign, and he lost because of that.

End of story.
