Colorado does have a convoluted process. Other caucus states have the people choose their national delegates directly at the caucus. Colorado caucus goers chose local delegates to a county convention who choose county delegates to the state convention to choose national delegates.

We all understand a representative republic where the people choose someone to represent them at the federal level. However, in Colorado primaries the voter is 3 steps removed from their national delegates. That's a little too diluted for my taste.

“Colorado does have a convoluted process. Other caucus states have the people choose their national delegates directly at the caucus.”

Seriously? Seriously? Do you check things before you post such assertions? Or are you a fake trying to make Trump supporters by pretending to be the stereo type of a Trump supporter.

“The purpose of the caucus vote is to select delegates to attend a county convention. Each caucus sends a certain number of delegates, based on the population it represents. The delegates at the county convention in turn select delegates to go to the congressional district state convention, and those delegates choose the delegates that go to the national convention.”

Can you link us to where you were complaining about the Iowa process like you are the Colorado process.
