I took it as he was referring to CO, in general. Though, the GOPe does wield strong influence in nearly every state and does effect the rules making process in the states. The CO GOPe jumped the shark with the stop Trump “tweet”. That plays into the sense that the GOPe rulers pull the strings of the voting rank and file (and of Ted Cruz, of course.)
Well, my apologies if I'm incorrect in calling him one of the liberal pimps.
The section on CNN that I saw seemed to suggest he was pushing the pimp's line of reasoning that the 1237 rule shouldn't have to be followed.....the nomination should just be "given" to the one who has the most delegates before the convention.
Maybe I misunderstood
