As I posted in my duplicate thread:
I’m sure the average voter was paying attention a year ago when the GOPe decided to change the rules.
Arrogant elitism in action in USA elections.
There is only one party, The Establishment.

I agree:
I’ve also got to admit I was wrong on the date they changed the rules. I was under the mistaken impression that it occurred the day before the convention
HOWEVER, the state of Colorado was told by the GOP that they could not have a straw vote and then not apportion delegates by the vote using the goofy convention system. I would read that admonition to say that the state needs to have either a caucus or primary and to abolish the fraudulent convention system that disenfranchises the Republican rank and file.
Rather than doing that the Colorado GOP abolished the vote altogether. They had a year to setup the mechanics of a primary. They didn’t do it.
They abused the system as evidenced by the state party chairman’s “#NeverTrump” tweet just a few minutes after the convention ended. They went into the day with intention to deny anyone but Cruz delegates come Hell or high water and they did it.
So, even though I was wrong on the mechanics I was right on the motives and outcomes. This was sleazy, unethical politics at their best (worst?) on display.
The statement “Trump should have known the rules is idiotic. The State chairman was going to find a way to give all the delegates to Cruz. That act alone should be enough to remove him from office. Indeed, he should tarred and feathered and run out of the state on a rail.
