Not the same in this case. It should be obvious to anyone that the State chairman went into the day with the intention giving Cruz all the delegates. He even used Twitter with a #NeverTrump hash tag just a few minutes after the convention that said something to the effect of “We did it”. In doing that he was ignoring the members of his party who support different candidates. He had also moved from being a State chairman to being an activist.
The main GOP told Colorado a year ago that they could not have a straw poll at the convention and then ignore the results of the poll. I would assume if I read that that the party needed to have a final caucus or primary vote or possibly apportion delegates from the previous complex round of primaries and caucuses. Instead of taking a vote they abolished the vote and completely ignored all of the previous votes.
In this case, the ground game would make no difference unless the Trump supporters brought pistols, tar and feathers
Actually what happened in Louisiana was as bad as worse.
Nobody put a gun to the heads of these people Fai.....but what you’re trying to say is ‘one’ chairmans “intention” moved the entire system to go with Cruz? I don’t think so.
The state on a whole was already Cruz leaning and most opposed to Trump pretty much across the board...and many made it known.
If people wern’t happy with what the Republicans were doing then they had opportunity to object to the calls the GOP was making...they didn’t.
