This individual may very well have a case. The party executives have pretty broad powers, yet they do have to follow the rules. This delegate is a valuable local member due to his longevity and activity. Per the rule, the person who replaces him would have to be even more so and that's highly doubtful. A newer member would be out of luck, but not this man. I hope he takes their a$$ to the cleaners.
The Colorado Republican Party forbids any of its delegates to the Republican National Convention to vote for Donald Trump for president or vice president on the first ballot or any other ballot, and
The Colorado Republican Party asks its delegates to national convention to pledge on their honor to do everything in their power to help secure the presidential nomination for someone other than Donald Trump.
That resolution is from Colorado Republicans for Liberty though. Did the Colorado Republican Party actually pass it?
Very sad that neither Cruz or Trump will be the nominee. Especially sad, this year - when a magnifying glass is on the whole process. A lot of new voters coming out for Cruz and Trump. The voters don't matter anymore.

Cruz was always correct about there being a Political Elite Cartel ....... he just hid the fact that he is a HIGH member in this Cartel. Citizens are learning more every day that their VOTE doesn't count - only the members of this Political Elite get to decide who the Candidates are. It's a Cartel Game, not the "your VOTE counts" game.
Cruz has raised almost $13 Million in the last couple of weeks, he has well over a Dozen Super PAC's supporting him and many more specifically Anti-Trump ..... all with many more Millions.
It's perfectly Legal to bribe the Delegates for their "vote".
I can't vote for Cruz. If he's this slimy now just think about what a complete ******* he would turn into in, what once was, the most powerful position in the world.
Authors note: The most powerful position on the planet was given to Vladmir Putin by Barack Obama during the summer of 2015.
If the GOP nominates Trump, they will survive because the new GOP
will include NEW BLOOD in all states and perhaps even in Congress.
Just remember the Colorado GOP is just one state party, same
with North Dakota and perhaps Pennsylvania if PA does the same.
Most state GOP parties are giving Trump a fair shake.
Ultimately we need a law that entitles only voters to decide
nomination outcomes. Even if that means they have to be
registered with the party, at least they could no longer
suffer the humiliations that are happening in both parties
where the will of the people is being subverted and manipulated.
