The GOPe in CO needs to accept that they have done this to themselves.
I mean, if the Chicago "protest" was Trump's fault, then logic dictates that this if the Colorado GOPe's fault.
They need to get a clue that if they want to run a private club they need to give up any money obtained from the public, including through 3rd parties, e.g. lobbyists paying them off for favors out of the public fisc or regulatory apparatus.
They don't even come close to meeting all the criteria for a private club.
