I want to talk about CO.

Now again you tell me how does cruz get the delegates to switch their vote?
What month did cruz decide to run and what month and year were these delegates chosen?

Also for a marine then can you answer him seeing as these marines risk their lives for you. Is he able to vote for a delegate and sent a absentee I a war zone and then he can vote for John smith who he has no idea about ?

Cruz didn't get any delegates in Colorado to switch their votes.

You seem to have a complete misconception of who delegates are.

What month did cruz decide to run and what month and year were these delegates chosen?

Cruz announced his campaign in March 2015.

Colorado held precinct caucuses on March 1, 2016. People elected as delegates there went to their county assembly. Those were held between March 1-26. Those elected there went to the district conventions. Those were held from March 29 to April 8.

Those elected there as delegates to the state convention went to the state convention on April 9. There, the delegates for the national convention were elected.

So, it's like a spelling bee. Win local, win region, win district, win state.

It all begins with people who support a candidate running and getting elected at the precinct level. Then they need to work with other like-minded people to win elections at the other conventions.

Nothing prevented Trump from organizing this. He just didn't want to.

No delgates existed prior to March 1. No one had to switch any votes. You just need your people to show up and be organized.

Trump failed.
