So just as long as it fits your needs at the time, you don’t care.
Colorado has had the caucus system since 1910, except for 1992-2002.
The Straw Polls taken at caucus had ALWAYS been unbinding beauty contests.
Were you bitching then?
In 2015, long after it was possible to revert to a Primary system, the National GOP announced that IF a state held a straw poll, it WOULD be binding.
This had NOTHING to do with Trump!
Colorado recognized that previous Straw Polls had us selecting candidates who had left the race in 2004 and 2008.
Now that the Straw Poll was to be binding, that would have left Colorado with a meaningless result, going into the Primary.
Thus, we elected not to hold a Straw Poll.
Again, this had NOTHING to do with Trump.
