^^ I posted my source, which was the Denver Post, not exactly a rag even by today's standards. The article even had a video rider attached to cue up whenever a visit was made to the page. My understanding of said article and video was on the money. Therefore, if credibility is on the line in the matter, it would be that of The Denver Post, not my own.

I suppose I could invest every waking minute of my day for the foreseeable future and dredge up a legitimate rebuff of the intense effort you have made to win a debate point with me. But fortunately, my life is quite a bit richer than that, and besting you is no more rewarding than allowing you to diminish the debate by striving to be right about some small point is entertaining. Still in all, it is odd that The Post would go to such lengths to dishonor themselves. And it is somewhat of a head scratcher to answer why if Colorado's delegates have not in recent history ever been bound, that the State GOP would feel compelled to change Party rules so that they would... still not be bound? At any rate, they are all together unfazed that there are points of view that conflict with their own.

Only 95 unbound delegates went to the convention in 2012. The chart of interest revealed that only 13 of those were from Colorado. There is quite a bit of conflicting information on the subject, however, your assertions that delegates go to the convention and vote their own conscience were not exactly on point. And the notion that unbound delegates can have a lot of impact is off too.

One of the links that I posted is straight from the Denver Post. They have no credibility issue. You do.

If you were not so fearful of the truth, then you would have done some research (or have looked at the research that I have done) and learned that when Colorado Republicans file as candidates for delegate slots, they have an option to voluntarily pledge themselves to support a candidate. Many do, if they believe it enhances their chances of being elected, and many do not. I provided the breakdown of pledged vs. non-pledged Colorado delegates in previous posts, which you ignored. The straw poll has absolutely nothing to do with the pledging of candidates to particular candidates at the national convention. Zero.

The fact is, I do not believe that Joey Bunch told you anything different than what I have told you. You hear what you want to hear. Anything that casts Trump in a bad light, you simply ignore. If I am wrong, then post a link to an article or column in which Bunch took the position that you have attributed to him. He writes for a newspaper, so you should actually be able to provide some evidence that he really shares your position.

You should know better than to climb so far out on a limb with no evidence to support your position. My position is strongly supported and I am holding a saw. :biglmao:
