Well I am from Colorado and in fact, in 2012 was a precinct captain. So let me share some facts with you regarding the delegate selection process.
- ANY REGISTERED REPUBLICAN can go to their precinct during the caucus to vote. There have not been any reports of registered voters being turned away.
- ANY REGISTERED REPUBLICAN can run for and be elected to the position of precinct captain. Each precinct elects it’s own captain from those who attend the caucus. Only locals within the precinct are allowed to vote for their captain.
- ANY REGISTERED REPUBLICAN can run for and be elected to the position of delegate (or alternate) to represent the precinct in the state convention. Each precinct elects is own representative (delegate) from those who have put in to be a delegate. Only locals within the precinct are allowed to vote for their delegate.
- None of the delegates are bound and have not been since 2004
- 3,953 delegates went to the state convention to select the 37 delegates that represent the State of Colorado at the national convention.
- these rules have been in place since 2004 when the grass roots mom and pop republicans took control of the party back from the national bosses in 2012 and restored the caucus system that had been in place from 1912 till 1988.
Trying to create a situation based on lies and dis-information is what the main stream media has done and that is the VERY definition of propaganda.
If you educate yourself with the facts you will find that the MSM is lying to you.
My position is the whole nominating process is corrupt. We haven’t see it before because the corrupt GOPe usually gets their candidate.
Since the GOPe hasn’t gotten their candidate, the whole corrupt process is being exposed by Trump. The Dem side is being exposed as well.
Anything done to try to normalize the process is just mere propaganda.
