sometimes it takes effort to participate. There were no locks on the doors keeping people out. A lot of states have evening caucuses

It seems like I've seen that Colorado is planning to have primaries in the future. I'd think that is a pretty good indication that people are realizing that the system that existed this year needed to be replaced. There would be no reason to replace it if it was producing results in line with the will of the population.

paying off delegates is good for him, however it is the voters who vote in a general and the voters are saying they don’t want cruz which is not good in a general;

I'll be sure to pass that gracious excuse along to our kids and their spouses living in Colorado.

...or maybe not.

If you want, I'll give you their addresses so that you can present that lame try at adding insult to injury on your own.

As if you or your buddy would have the nerve to present that stuff face to face.

In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote:


Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

Most states have polls open all day, have early voting, and have absentee voting, to enable as many people as possible to participate. These caucuses today seem anachronistic, and harks back to a time when the people complained about governmental processes being intentionally scheduled to stifle participation and coerce outcomes.

We once fought a revolution over things like this.
