TheRealThing Wrote:So, let me understand this. According to you the disenfranchised voters in Colorado are protesting because the heretofore unbound Colorado delegates are still unbound? Here is what happened whether the truth matters to you or not. Voters did not get to participate in the Colorado Primary process this time around, non binding or otherwise.I already posted that stunning information that you posted in big bold letters in my post #10. Colorado held its last GOP primary in 2000. However, I did find that I mistakenly posted earlier that the last GOP primary was held in 1998, which was not a presidential election year. The primary was canceled in 2003 to save the state money.
Obviously with no voter preference on record with which to contend, the Colorado GOP did exactly as they pleased irrespective of the will of the people. Which BTW, seemed to matter to said GOP who required delegates to vote for the candidate who won the caucus, that is right up until last August when the rules were changed. One more thing. What with the real truth having come out by an overzealous #NeverTrumpster, it has become obvious that even if Trump had spoken in Colorado, the likelihood is that the outcome would have been the same. See, the Republicans in Colorado decided they didn't like the idea that Colorado delegates would be bound on the first ballot, which is normally a RNC requirement.
FROM THE DENVER POST----
"The GOP executive committee has voted to cancel the traditional presidential preference poll after the national party changed its rules to require a state's delegates to support the candidate... Ta Dah, are you ready, who wins the caucus vote .
The move makes Colorado the only state so far to forfeit a role in the early nomination process, according to political experts, but other caucus states are still considering how to adapt to the new rule."

The bottom line is that Trump made a strategic decision to ignore the voters of Colorado, was shutout at the convention, and is now squealing like a stuck pig. He still has not broken 50 percent in any state primary or caucus. If he fails to do so in his home state of New York, it will be a big setback for him. Trump has a much bigger share of delegates than the popular votes that he has received. If the system is rigged against him, somebody at the GOP really screwed up.
(See how easy it is to admit a mistake?)
