>I was disappointed (again) that Trump didn’t make the minimal effort that would have earned him the Wyoming delegates and the larger effort that would have brought him loyal delegates in NC instead of unwilling delegates bound only on the first ballot. Does anyone think Trump could not have found 1,000 registered Republican supporters in Wyoming who would have attended the Wyoming Caucuses if he had tried? Anyone? Does anyone think Trump could not have found many thousands of supporters to pack these NC meetings if he had tried? I don’t like caucus rules, but I blame Trump for not learning the rules and at least trying.
The GOP would have kicked most of them out or played games taking away their votes just like they did in Colorado. The game is rigged and we know it.
If we really believed that, the second Civil War would already have started. The news on a Trump supporter being shut out in Colorado turned out to be what a charitable person would call "misrepresented". It makes no sense to pretend Trump is running for the republican nomination and then for his people not to show up because they wouldn't have counted. If that was true, 1,000 Trump supporters could have come out of WY with lots of video of cheating. That would be a whole lot more effective than claims of "we knew they would cheat, so we didn't show up."
In the absence of contrary evidence, I'm attributing that state's lopsided outcome to incompetence on Trump's part (failing to show up), rather than malice on the part of those who organized and voted at the caucuses. It's a shame too. We'd both rather have Trump with those delegates to improve the odds of a first ballot victory for Trump.
